Now that I've got the Gilmour EMG's in a Strat (my Red Strat replica is currently being made by MJT!) I figured I'd get a jump start on dialing in some PULSE tones, which are my absolute favorites of Gilmour's. The audio is coming straight from Logic, not my phone.
I'm getting the feedback from a Digitech Freqout, but the signal chain is pretty much what he's using live, just recreated in the AxeFX and not particularly in the same order. And of course, I don't have an Alembic pre-amp. I'm using a Hiwatt Brilliant with a York Audio Hiwat cab (412 FN50 421-CE 2).
Right now I've got the rotary on an expression pedal to speed up with it, which sounds decent during the divebombs but it's a bit tricky to figure out where he's got them in the mix. He's got a CE-2 chorus on just the left side of his rig and there's some movement from that. The EMG's don't sound anything like I exected them to, but I'm really digging them. I'm anxious to get them in a guitar that doesn't have an 1/8" thick coat of poly on it as that Strat is a bit on the dull side (Classic 50's I snagged for $300).
Still some tweaking to be done, but I'm in the ballpark. I used to know all these solos practically note for note because it's ALL I played for the first 2-3 years I started playing, but playing along now.....man, makes me want to forget all the technique/speed crap I've picked up along the way. No one plays like Gilmour, man. No one.
Got a few weeks left on the Red Strat Replica. When looking at buying a '57 Vintage Reissue and realizing you're not going to find one for under $1500 anymore unless it's beat to shit, I decided to just have MJT/Muskraft make it for me. It was like $540 for the body/paint/relicing and somewhere around $275 or so with the neck and I got to at least get the exact neck size/radius I wanted (medium C, 12" radius, med/jumbo stainless steel frets). I gave MJT the pics I took at the auction and they're going to match up the relic'ing the best they can! I'm stoked!!
Here's the preset if anyone wants it to tweak on their own. The Out/In 3 is for my Freqout, as I keep it back in the rack and trigger it with a momentary switch on the board. There's also a lead preset in here that doesn't have the reverb turn on and I might have tweaked the delay mix to be a little less. Gilmour doesn't use reverb in his rig, but for this intro....ya gotta have reverb....at least the size of the LA Colosseum!
