NOTE - I have listed the gear and settings I use in most cases, for reference, but note that the tones may not exactly match your rig, depending on which amp you use, your guitar, and pickups, and fingers :) I am not a Gilmour/Pink Floyd gear expert, so your results may vary.

COLORSOUND OVERDRIVER - Re-issue of the old Colorsound Power Boost, still hand made by Macari's of London. This Colorsound is a boost/overdrive pedal that works great with tube amps. David Gilmour used the Colorsound on Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Have A Cigar, Pigs and many other late 70s Pink Floyd songs. Also used on the 1977 Pink Floyd tour. Clips played with a 2008 American Standard Strat, Fender CS69 neck pickup, into a '65 Fender Twin Reverb RI. .
