Thank you Stefan and thanks for your dedication to covering stompboxes!

agree 100%

Awesome!

Thanks!

I was askew to rate this comment/,I gave it a smiley face.

Yes, it has an authentic vintage flavour.

There's nothing complicated at doing as good as stompboxes you're replicating : there is no magic mojo in electronics, but you may have issues at finding some obsolete parts (no more produced) as NOS (new old stock) that will bring some special grain or features... One of the main issues are germanium transistors

@@harounel-poussah6936 One would wonder why everybody doesn't do it.

@@kevinjohnbetts Well, all I can tell you is that, in my country, kids do electronics starting 6th grade at school, as part of their technology course... most of the stompboxes are 6th or 5th grade level. From 2004 to 2009, I was one of the main staffers of the then largest DIY for guitar Francophone forum, we had more than 12k members and taught countless people how to build their gear... I'm personally responsible for the reverse engineering of some of the coolest gear, some very challenging like a chorus/flanger that resisted for 30 years... until I was requested to repair one, some multi-channel tube amps etc... Now, OK, if you're into building the most advanced stuff, it's not really for beginners, but there is a huge huge lotsa stuff you can do, your first ones are likely to be a FuzzFace or a TubeScreamer as they're freaking easy, a 6th grade kid can perfectly start with electronics with these as first ever device built... And it's even easier as there are kits available where you get ready-made PCBs, and can get pre-drilled boxes too... The most impressive marketplace is here : www.musikding.de/guitar-effect-kits-amp-kits these are well known too: generalguitargadgets.com/ buildyourownclone.com/ Want the famous Klon Centaur overdrive? You may get the kit for about €40... Note : if you're into building the Violet Ram'shead Muff, you better just order the PCB and go to the Kitt Rae website : he measured all the values of his original one which differ from the official schematics, you will also need carbon-comp resistors, all caps are ceramic but the 100nF ones which are polyester... If you don't do this, forget about sounding similar to Dave's... If you're more into the very rare Muff OpAmp AKA "ICBM" used by Billy Corgan or Adrian Belew, I'm the one you need to make it genuine sounding: kits usually use boutique grade parts... When you make fuzzes, you don't want these, you want dirty sounding parts ! To be frank, I'd recommand to get a 19" 1U rack enclosure: if you go for the Alpha 9mm pots, you can stuff more than a hundred on the frontplate and you have room for 3 layers of PCB... Time to play Tetris with circuits but guess what? you can easily stuff a huge pedalboard inside! You can as well use pedals you bought and re-box these too... You can include the Scarlet Tunic's circuit inside too if you want By doing so, you can have a setup that is kept into a 6U SKB RLX/ROTO flycase you can move like a Samsonite suitcase and that will have nothing to envy to Gilmour's on Pulse !!! And I can recommand speakers where a single one does the job of a 4x12 "One would wonder why everybody doesn't do it." Maybe becoz... They know shit about electronics? And look, people go on using the Stratoaster while there are guitars that are better than ANY Strat ever built, even €10-20k+ CSMH ones or Dave's Black Strat, or Hendrix's Isabella... And guess what? Such a Hyper-Strat costs about €3000 as new unless you want artsy paint or special options... You can even play Money's 3rd solo, the classic trem bar stays in tune as well as a Floyd Rose and you'll never need any setup. Got my 1st one in 1997... Some told me : "You'll see, one always return to the Strat"... Well, after 27 years, still not Thus, it may happen : buy me Dave's original Black Strat! I promise I will play it... For 3-4 weeks... Then she'll return at Christie's because 1st, I have smth better so I don't need it, then, with $4 millions, I can build a freaking recording studio, in fact, my biggest issue is the facility, I'm as well geared as many "indie" producers...

@@harounel-poussah6936 Strats work. I have several, plus other guitars. As for pedals, I get the point. Like all electronic circuits it's only components connected together in a specific order. I own a Nux and a Nordvang which are based on identical circuits. I could gig either but one has vastly more range than the other. If we accept not all components are created equal, even if they are supposed to be, then we get into the reasons for some pieces of equipment working well whilst others get thrown out. Putting everything together is a craft, whatever equipment we are talking about, and the difference between good and very good is small but discernible.

Thanks!

Syd was a better guitarist than Dave... You'd be surprised that his parts are way more difficult despite there are no big solos...

No need for vintage ones! Actually, you'd even be surprised by the very cheap ones that were produced in China. Got both a DE-56D and a DC59 with the Clapton psychedelia paint for cheaper than dirt when Thomann destocked the MiC ones... Well, except the need to replace the tuners by real Kluson ones, they REALLY have the sound... BTW, the DE-56D is better than the '59 : better neck, better treble access and having a lipstick-humbucker in bridge posn is really valuable and having the three coils in series allows serious garage sound... These Danos are made from Masonite, it's compressed sawdust mixed with water then put under pressure to extract the water... There may be PUs differences but, you know... Lipsticks were designed to be cheap, you don't really need to pay big for overpriced Seymour Duncan lipstick PU. They returned the production in Korea, well, they end with nicer finishes, thus, MiC ones weren't badly made, in fact, the Clapton one was even hand-painted... Unfortunately, the price has doubled, which is a bit sad as... With the MiC ones, I often happened to recommand these to non-metal beginners : I already knew the U56 for a while when I took profit of the... €170 price for mine (and, IIRC, €230 or 235 for the '59 "Clapton"!). In fact, I bought the '59 in despair of having been snubbed from a superb 2nd hand Korean DC-3 made before the Chinese production, a sparkle green one... In fact, I'd recommand to opt for at least 3 lipstick PUs, you definitively want to be able to have 3 coils in series with a germanium fuzz...

Thank you! I haven't tried that one but some of the Tech21 stuff is really great.

I would use it as a conventional overdrive, before modulation, echo and reverb. Either as a stand alone overdrive unit or, as a platform for your other overdrive and distortion units. You could also place it last in the chain as a preamp but I’d set it clean.

@@gilmourishofficial thanks my friend! you are awesome!

Thanks! I have no idea 😉

Boss has just issued an (expensive) monstrous stereo one! Sounds as good as my two MoogerFooger delays with a lot of advantages for the guitarists (meanwhile, you may not use the Boss one as a drumbox or other modular synth features)

I have V30s in all my cabs. I just prefer that tight low end and the pronounced mid range.

It’s a Fender Japan CIJ 62 reissue. I bought it new probably around 2010. It has Texas Pecials at the moment but I’ve tried all kinds of different pickups over the years. Really nice and easy to play neck.

Yes, as with any pedal.

It’s a short excerpt I recorded years ago as an intro for these videos.

@@gilmourishofficial damn well it sounds great bro

maybe because he's soft spoken that it makes the music sound louder, but it isnt crazy loud.

It's the good old intro. I think it works great!

It’s designed to capture the tone and feel of a Selmer Treble and Bass amp. All gain pedals are preamps. You can use them as a platform or a stand alone gain pedal.

I think the main reason for him to go over to Hiwatts in late 1969 was because they started to play bigger venues. And, bands like Jethro Tull and The Who had also started using Hiwatt by that point which must have influenced Floyd.

Don't be too sure everybody prefers the HiWatt tone to the Selmer, as well as there are old PF fans that are far from loving anything starting with DSOTM if not Obscured by Clouds...

@@gilmourishofficial It's very likely the case (bigger venues)... IIRC, he used 10, maybe even 14 HiWatt and twice as much 4x12" when they did Earl's Court for the DSOTM tour and he wasn't miked into the PA (Earl's Court = 19,000 seats)... Thus, in terms of raw power, Hendrix was already using the Marshall Major (200W) and gosh, with the 2x15 loaded with the two JBL D130 the Voodoo Chile "blues" of 15 minutes on Electric Ladyland, it's still WOW for me

Kinda have to agree with you there- as tragic as his departure is/was. Floyd was able to become something so much more because of it.

Although they struggled for a few years to find their new sound after Syd left, I think we can agree that they grew into something much bigger. Still, that first album has been so influencial. On both contemporaey bands and not least the British new wave and alternative pop scene in the 80s.

“The” Pink Floyd in 1966-1967 created some of the most ground breaking and musically psych of their day, which is saying a lot considering the competition. The Meddle through The Final Cut era Pink Floyd created some of the most memorable music of all time, but that shouldn’t devalue their groundbreaking early work with Syd.

@@gilmourishofficial Yeah sure. Not criticising Syd or the pedal at all. But for me the Syd albums were the worst Floyd ever recorded and there was nothing special about his guitar playing or his tone imo :)

I’m sorry to say this but Peter your views on Syd I used to hold as well. I came to Floyd backwards starting in the 90s. And when I finally time-travelled back to 1967 couldn’t quite understand why Piper sounded as it did, I criticised Syd. Then my muso friend pointed out that Piper was recorded at the same time as Pepper at Abbey Road. BUT it was Syds FIRST album (the Beatles 7th or 8th). My friend kept on saying don’t worry as you experience more of life, as you start to tire of Comfortably Numb like you did your last girlfriend/boyfriend (what?! Blasphemy never!) you’ll go back to Piper. And I eventually did. The musical sophistication is astonishing. Syd’s chord/rhythms are astonishing. The lyricism is astonishing. You could replace the bassist, but not Syd or Rick Wright. I love Roger Waters lyrics, but he’s no poet. But I really wish George Martin had produced Piper, and not Norman Smith who using the same gear could not bring forth Martin’s genius, so I do agree the production values are not as sophisticated as other albums in late 1967, but fgs it was their first album! First time in the studio. In another multiverse Syd didn’t leave. Roger left. Ah what astronomy the music of Floyd would have been 🤩
