Creating The David Gilmour Sound With MXR Pedals

[@mileswike2532]

Me: I want David Gilmour Mom: We have David Gilmour at home David Gilmour at home:

[@steadimoose]

Sounds nothing like Gilmour to me.

[@glassslide]

Just tremendous demo, loved listening to the different tones, agree, as a long time MXR customer, they are dependable and always sound great at very fair price points, well done, MXR!!

[@paulwatson4032]

I agree that it doesn’t sound much like Gilmore but he is trying to do it all with one brand of pedals. Not even Gilmore would sound like Gilmore using just one brand of pedals. But as regarding his playing abilities make no mistake this lad can play. I’ve seen many of his other vids and the list of people he has associated with is to say the least impressive.

[@rogeriosartori555]

I'd also include the mxr fet driver. good to emulate a tube driver and big muff. you can have both with this pedal.

[@gazb2069]

What a refreshing demo, no fancy stuff even tho you know he can nail the DG stuff, cant knock the MXR gear its been around for years, for a reason. Job well done !

[@Horst574]

David Gilmour sound ???? I can`t hear it.

[@garymjenkins]

Sorry, but that sounds nothing like Gilmore's setup.....

[@robertsingleton2554]

gary jenkins Agreed

[@electricritual4197]

gary jenkins it's not Gilmour's set up. Its it representation with the pedals they have at hand.

[@gj6794]

Jamie, I always wondered who played that solo on the Auzzie Floyd Royal Albert Hall video from 2007 - Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. Now I know. That was awesome. Nobody plays that solo better than you. Thanks for your contributions on youtube.

[@geoffkeeton4311]

Thanks. You cleared up some things for me about how he gets the sound he does.

[@thierrygoli4271]

Very brillant and useful. Thanks à lot!!

[@mantas68]

The only thing I have to say is that Gilmour never used an Echoplex as far as I know. He was a very religious user of the old Binson Echoreque unit just the same as Syd Barrett. The Binson Echoreque used a magnetically charged drum instead of a loop of tape like the Echoplex used. The Binson Echoreque required a quite a bit of cleaning and maintenance to keep working properly, so around the Animals tour Gilmour changed to some rack mounted MXR digital delay units to take the place of the Binson Echoreque units. :)

[@krkhns]

His rig setup starting with The Wall, normally in this chain - Dallas Fuzz Face w/modified tone circuit, EH Big Muff, EH Electric Mistress, MXR DynaComp, MXR Phase 90, Cornish Treble/Bass Booster, Cornish vibrato pedal, Cornish volume pedal, rack MXR Digital Delay II

[@theguitardude5613]

I like that echo plex. Need to get one to go with my univibe.

[@marpsr]

Close but the Electric Mistress is a flanger and a chorus combined, not just a flanger

[@seanalexander6310]

Strat + Classic 108 silicon fuzz + Echoplex with preamp/dirty repeats = Pink Floyd - "Time" guitar solo. I wouldn't mind at all a pedal board consisting of just the Dunlop/MXR/Way Huge portfolio. You really can't go wrong.

[@shanedavis3414]

Mike Adams- oh I see. Makes perfect sense now.Thank you for the info.

[@doctari1061]

Well done! I needed that info. I have 3 of the 6. Need to buy the other 3 now.

[@KYCDK]

wouldn't playing the shine on you crazy diamond bit be under fair use as you are talking about it? also David used a phase 90not a univibe for shine on

[@Nautilus_Music]

Would it really cause problems if you played "that" chord? Regardless, great video - thanks.

[@rogeriosartori555]

Chris King author rights or something like that. it really sucks indeed that kind of issue

[@KeshaUlyetov]

*All David Gilmour needs is a fuzzbox and delay, really loud volume and quiet play.*

[@NICKWAPPERER117]

Innokenty Uyutov and a phaser, a chorus, sometimes a wah.....etc

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

he also used a flanger on many songs.

[@mark7166]

Well, that really depends on what era/tone you're trying to emulate, now doesn't it?

[@tylernol8890]

Get rid off those man boobies !!

[@paulhester8086]

Why would you "get into trouble" if you played DG's notes exactly?...And, did I understand you correctly that you used to play for a PF tribute band called "Australian Pink Floyd"? I learn something(s) from all "DG pedalboard" setups. Subscribed, and learning...and at 63 y/o I still have a lot to learn. He is THE best of the best! Thanks for your channel.

[@callejarvholm]

You can get taken down by youtube’s shitty copyright regulations if you play a song exactly as it goes

Thank you for the video! I've enjoyed it a lot! Thanks mate.

[@shanedavis3414]

It does suck. When using an artist signature guitar, and advertising it, the idea should be to show how it sounds on the classic songs.

[@mikeadams4605]

In Europe, especially Germany, the videos get immediately take down if there are any actual songs played. He was only doing this so that people in Europe could actually watch the video

[@anthonyarredondo2682]

Very interesting video ! Thanks !!😁👍

[@olavov8005]

Nada escutei aí que lembre, nem de longe, o timbre do David Gilmour.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

I am thinking of a budget setup like this: 1. Distortion Pedal 2. Wah pedal 3. Delay pedal 4. Chorus/reverb pedal 5. Flanger 6. Phaser Those six pedals should be able to give me the palette to create unique fun sounds without going broke. Maybe buy a cheap combo like a Line 6 M9/M13 setup.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

I will test drive those out when I get the chance. I liked the nano Big Muff pedal that I tried out today that was fun and the mini baby wah too.

[@billygoat12]

holy shit he gained a ton of weight

[@goldenultra]

A strat in the neck position is supposed to be a sweet spot? It sounds a bit sour to me. But no offense the guy can play, he is careful with even the positions he picks. But was expected more with the expense of the gear.

[@knightlove1000]

Clear video, a shame these copyright freaks spoil it

[@kinochdotcom]

Appreciate the effort..but..it sounds nothing like Gilmour except the pups and the guitar.

[@Jordan-rb28]

That univibe is a glorified phaser

[@Glockinmyrawrie]

Gilmour never used a echoplex, he used a binson echorec for the remainder of the pink floyd sound from the early pink floyd sound to dark side of the moon to animals and then the wall, he still has it, you should've use the catalinbread echorec

[@miguelvran301]

Sonido de David Gilmour ? Donde ?

[@richieborman4342]

what do you mean by "the chord"? the notes in shine on?

[@jaybuzz4071]

The song shine on ...I think.

[@teddyboy9116]

Nothing like dave gilmour at all....

[@hagelslagopjebrood3]

he didn't even use the echoplex

[@robotrobotmainmain1013]

Only dyna comp and Echoplex delay.

[@tradbowseven]

Closer to Robin Trower

[@LycanTroop3]

*obviously*

[@mustyguitar]

lol jamie, you have gained at least 150 pounds. what happened to you after the australian pink floyd show??

[@sols9449]

Doesn’t sound anything like Gilmore. Dark side pedal way better

[@MrCgregd]

That moment when he showing off the dynacomp and the guitar is out of tune 😆🤣🤣

[@taur611]

Wait,this guy was in a Floyd cover band but can't play a few notes of a floyd song without getting in trouble????

[@giovannianzalone9991]

I take that back, you do sound like Gilmour...a little...

[@giovannianzalone9991]

Are you talking about David Gilmour from Pink Floyd? Or some other David Gilmour?

[@Kafrifelle]

We definitely need to start by tuning the guitar. I am sure he’s a really good guitar player, but this sounds nothing like Gilmour, not even close.

[@braddietzmusic2429]

Waaaayyyy too worried about copyright when uncountable amount of players on KZbin are making every effort to copy Gilmour (with widely varying levels of success). Interesting “all one brand” approach to Gilmour. Oops, I said it: Gilmour. And PINK FLOYD. The copyright cops and lawyers are surely on the way...

[@NS-ob4rb]

Gilmour??? It's seems to me like my cat is moaning

[@scottbrunger]

Why does nobody get the copyright issues?? He's monetized the video, its not some evil company. If he took the advert off he could play whatever he wanted

[@paulstubbs4487]

Me neither. Not even close.

[@1973tattoo]

Talk about being tone deaf,, nothing whatsoever like a gilmour sound, it actually sounds better raw with no effects... oh and a tuner would help it too....

[@hdeline]

Mix to high on the delay....

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Whys he keep going on about Iraq ?

[@paulhester8086]

Again here...I don't see anyone else on KZbin holding back on the right notes because of "copyright" issue problems. Can you set me straight on that issue, please? Thanks again. Still burnin' for more learnin'.

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Blimey, a bit of timber added since I last saw a video of this guy.

[@sXeSnowmansXe]

Dude's had a lot of health issues over the last few years. Lost quite a bit of weight since the last one I saw him in.

[@bash6555]

Sounds nothing like him

[@micahtcook__8817]

Sounds like something to get high to

[@Septimius]

Too bad that's not a script logo dyna comp.

[@drainmonkeys385]

Too much tremolo on first one .. slow bit down and you’ll be closer

[@runnningonempty]

IN WHAT WORLD????

[@napukapu]

God damn Humpries needs to lose weight. Go watch how slim he was during the first lick library Pink floyd dvd.

[@alliedfroth]

So basically if you are looking for the 'Gilmour Tone', do not buy MXR pedals!

[@EBJorge-ql1ii]

Man...that’s not Gilmour sound.

[@marpsr]

Gilmour’s sound is in Gilmour’s hands.

[@rodolpheponthus2948]

Gosh he's exactly got the sound I don't want, shrill and fizzy lifeless.. what a waist of money if you buy all these pedals. The secret is to match a few very good pedals from diverse brands and find the magic combination. Gilmour (and others) use different brands for a reason. It's strange because in theory this pedal board should work, but it just doesn't. Maybe the tone stacks of these pedals are all based on similar chips, and they just mush up if you chain too many of them ? Whatever, this is informative, but not in the way it was meant to be 😅

[@gxh3539]

Didn't sound anything like Gilmore

[@stiffrichard2816]

I can't watch this.

[@harleycostello9973]

i would expect alot closer given the guitar choice , but jesus that sound is rubbish and nothing like Gilmore

[@mickm8028]

I would expect you to know the correct spelling of his name gilmour , but yes it's doesn't sound much like him

[@ripplebear]

Go watch the Rebecca dirks interview with whatever big exec at fender visitors center. He can't pronounce gilmour while looking at a sorta shrine of him! It's embarrassing!

[@key_session]

Un dei peggiori suoni mai sentito in assoluto, e non solo nei setup Gilmour.. eppure il chitarrista qui l'ho sempre apprezzato...

[@wabisabi6802]

Too wet.

[@agch771]

pls just delete this video because it doesn't sound like gilmour...............

[@RobertKnight001]

No. Just no

[@ricka4051]

Too far from the Gilmour sound, sorry body, not good results

[@lgasolutions2884]

Horroroso.

[@evianx1]

I know you really do care but . Eh nah

[@Jordan-rb28]

This all sucks

[@andremellao4882]

very bad

[@Malvezzi87]

stick to queen stuff, leave pink floyd alone, thanks.
