This solo may be made up of different takes, but all those different tracks sound like the same performance to my ears.īecause the studio solo is made up of so many different elements, it's difficult to replicate that sound with one guitar. In the quad mix stems I also hear a fouth dry guitar track. A third track sounds like plate reverb, or possibly a distant room mic. Another track sounds like slapback echo, which David has confirmed is ADT. The echo is about 380ms with 2-3 repeats, so that must have been head 4 on David's PE 603 Echorec. There is one track with the high gain FF, echo, and heavy reverb. In fact, Alan Parsons has said David was generating all the effects himself for the first solo.įor the third section, the multi tracks are really interesting. The EMT 140 plate Reverbs at Abbey Road were used all over DSOTM, but I think the heavy reverb in this solo may simply be the spring reverb in David's Twin Reverb. The delay is about 310ms with 2-3 repeats. The other is the fuzz maxed with heavy reverb and delay. One sounds like the guitar volume or fuzz knob is backed off, and delay.

The third solo sounds like the Hiwatt.įor the intro David double tracked two different guitars in the L and R, each with a slightly different tone. The dry solo sounds like a FF through a Twin Reverb. I think the tracks in the first solo are probably all played through Twin Reverb, but one may be the Hiwatt. Some tracks are relatively dry with a bit of plate reverb and some have Echorec delay and heavy reverb. The solo is a mix of multiple guitar tracks. I would post it here, but the last time I did it got blocked. It cycles through the different multi tracks and is more isolated than the surround stems. You can apply the same tricks from the digital/dual modes listed above.Ĭlick to expand.I assume you have listened to the Money solo sound clips on my site that I isolated from the 5.1 surround mix? I also have have a breakdown that's not on my site that I ripped from the quad mix. While typing, I thought of using the duck mode with the fastest or so release time.Lofi with high sample rate but slightly lowered bit depth might also be worth trying with the filter control (not the filter type/shape) set like above.Dual can be useful if you lower the level of the second delay for more of a reverberant feel Grit should be low and modulation should be slow and very light if present at all. Digital gives you good control over how high-passed your repeat(s) is (are) and you can add diffusion to get it to be felt more than heard. Using the digital or dual mode with the tape EQ curve (filter maxed).Time for around 300ms, tape artifacts extremely low or off (w&f, crinkle), bias set to taste to match your rig and the song (I’d normally recommend minimum for extra highs, but for this song you might want that 50-75% depending how hot your pickups are). Adjust tape age to taste to match the song (general Echorec tones you’d want to have bright, new tape). Echorecs usually have high-passed repeats, which you can simulate by adjusting the low end contour. Use the dTape algorithm: In theory, magnetic drum echo is similar to using a tape echo with new tape and proper part alignment and relatively stable motor speed.To approximate on your Timeline, you have a few options for single head Echorec emulations. I agree with the above posters about double-tracking. The notable exception was the swell setting live in Pompeii IIRC. In return I will be willing to share any sounds from my arsenal I might have nailed.Ĭlick to expand.DG was known to use head 4 on his Echorec almost exclusively (~300ms). Please, if you know the secret sauce, please share it. The sound seems tantalisingly obvious and initially, I thought, easy to reach.īut I have exhausted Gilmourish, Kit and my own lexicon of guesses. I have tried Plate, Spring, Room, Hall, Magneto and "Diffuse" Bloom reverbs (Strymon BigSky). I have read Gilmourish and Kit Rae, and as much as I worship their massive and legendary contribution to the Gilmour fan community, their offered settings, IMO, are "close but no cigar".ġ) Either a double tracked guitar part (lagged) or a loud short slapback echo.Ģ) Perhaps a delay that gives a sense of being in a largish room or hall, I estimate to be in the region of 350ms, but I don't hear any 'echoes' or 'repeats'.ģ) Maybe an additional Reverb, or maybe only reverb as per item #2. The first section (of 3 sections) of the solo has delay and reverb that I just cannot fathom.
