No one else on KZbin can touch this. If you get one you need to put a delay after it to get his sound.

[@foothilla]

WARNING: This is a completely misleading demo. The player is using a $500 Eventide H9 effects processor WITH this Dark Side pedal. The Eventide is conveniently not shown in the video, in effort to mislead you (it is only mentioned in the heading). You can NOT get the majority of these sounds without also having the Eventide H9. For example, starting at 6:55 you hear a sound clip where the delay is the most important part of the sound. But, look closely at the controls during this clip. The Dark Side's mod switch is on Flange, not delay. That beautiful delay is coming from the $500 Eventide, not the Dark Side pedal. The Eventide is conveniently never shown on camera, even though it is hugely responsible for many of these sounds. Don't be fooled.

Nah, watch a ton of other vids on this pedal, it is pretty spot on IMO.

[@foothilla]

@@SaultiBalldeip You're clueless. Read the description. This player is using a $500 multi-effect peddle WITH the Dark Side. Most of the combination of effects being used in this demo aren't even physically possible with the Dark Side alone. For instance you can't even use the delay in combination with the flange/rotary/phase. Yet, most of these clips have delay blended with those effects. That delay is coming from the $500 Eventide H9. At very least you will need an external delay to get even close to most of these sounds.

Close! I mean good enough to trick someone who isn't an actual Pink Floyd fan or musician. Sounds like the recording is a little sub-par at best. The guy isn't using the tremolo arm enough to get the sound right to play Floyd. Gilmour rides the tremolo. He even picks with it in his hand loosely which allows him to reach the sharps and flats and push notes octaves ( definitely not just 1 octave as well ;). This effect pedal, in combination with the tremolo, and a pitch pedal would be close enough for me to want to just wail away Floyd songs for fun!

Hearing the guitar track only really makes you appreciate Gilmour even more. Right around the time we needed to rank everything and the Stones were popularly crowned the best rock band in an effort to rightfully unseat the Beatles, hating on Pink Floyd became fashionable. That sucks. They were pure art and science, with the best understanding and implementation of audio engineering ever in major label recorded music. There are so many sounds that would not exist without them. Brave geniuses, phenomenal musicians, one of the very best bands ever. No other music of that period instills feelings like theirs does, and that's saying something. Some of it can be deeply disturbing in the most liberating of ways. Like thinking about the size of the universe.

R T I think in the 70s they were all overshadowed by Led Zeppelin, not critically though, the critics hated Zeppelin but loved Pink Floyd

[@joeking433]

The Rolling Stones were nothing compared to Pink Floyd. Not even in the same league! The Stones were a simple blues band, a one trick pony. The Beatles were closer to Pink Floyd in that they wrote a bunch of catchy pop tunes but none of their albums were anywhere near as well crafted and beautiful as Dark Side of the Moon.

[@stankyfinger62857]

I agree 100%. Yet everyone persists with ignoring the main engineer and producer for the first post- Syd Floyd years: Alan Parsons. Both Gilmore and Waters have spoken on this. David has earned every accolade he ever received. Sublime. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@electricritual4197]

I guess there's a bunch of people here that don't realize they're hearing this through KZbin. Which is going to change the sound. Plus it would be physically impossible to get the same sound that they did back in the day. I bet if David Gilmour went back into the studio with the remaining members of the band. He couldn't get the same sound. There's too many variables, but this pedal sounds incredible.

[@steveb9325]

Odin Runes I agree w a lot you said, save David Gilmore part. He is the sound.

Steve B there's so many idiosyncrasies to getting that sound. The boards would have aged. How much moisture in the air affects the speaker of the amp and the cabinet. His pickups on his guitar have aged Etc. It would be literally impossible to get the same sound. I'm not saying it wouldn't be close. But it happened in a place in time and that can never be reproduced.

❤️ Dark Side of Oz, esp the looping heartbeats to start and end the album, sync’d perfectly with Dorothy listening to Tin Man’s chest for heartbeat. The opening of house door to see yellow brick road just as money begins to ching, the alarms in Time just as Ms Gulch first appears riding her bike, ... the lunatic is on the grass as the scarecrow loses his mind in brain damage, Us and Them lyrics, and after all were only ordinary men as Dorothy returns from Oz to explain her experience to the farm hands. Non-believers should read Saucerful of Secrets where it’s documented how they acquired AV sync equipment and submitted Echoes for 2001 A Space Odyssey before DSoM. I find the probability of these synchronizations occurring by mere coincidence far less likely than intentional and deliberately crafted in creating a classic masterpiece in its own right, linked to the film classic.

[@doctari1061]

First off - great playing. Really enjoyed that. As for the Dark Side I have a lot to say in hope that Robert Keeley reads this one day. Keeley made a fatal flaw in adding little flip switches you can't kick while playing. So if you want the Phase with the Rotary, you can't have it. Also you need to reach down to toggle the little switches. So you wind up needing to add multiple other external pedals like a Phase 90 if you want to use the Rotary at the same time. Keely could have really nailed it (and still can in version 2) if he made the box bigger (Big Muff size) and broke out the tiny toggle switches into stomp switches and allowed any combination of effects. I have no idea why they Keeley did this, but it's a real shame. I could remove a couple of extra pedals off my pedalboard if he had just made the box a bit bigger and added a couple of extra stomp switches. I'm almost temped to build my own box and rip the circuit board out of the Keeley and wire it to a bank of stomp switches. The Keeley is an all-in-one box for people wanting to start getting into Gilmour and I give him credit for that. But if he could expand the box and build it up, add a few more effects, he really could have a great box. He could jack up the price and people would still save a bundle not having to purchase at least 3 or 4 other pedals. If I could only purchase one, it would be the Keeley because it can also get rid of my monstrous Big Muff. See.. there's another pedal you can get rid of. I hope Keeley takes this into consideration in version 2 of the Dark Side and makes it much bigger, adds stomp switches, a tap delay, a looper, and then I can finally clear off half my damn pedals. That's easily worth triple what they charge now. At least I would pay triple for it. Then they would basically have all of Gilmour not only in a single box, but everything exposed so you can stomp on anything/everything and people would save a few grand in extra stomp boxes they need to add now. I could sell off all my extra pedals, massively reduce the footprint of my pedalboard, and would gladly pay for a triple the current price for such an expanded Keeley Dark Side (hint hint)! Final point - if you add the EMG DG20 kit to your Strat, then, combined with the Dark Side, you truly have a great Gilmour rig. The active electronics make all the difference in the world.

[@lptomtom]

I agree about your points on the pedal, but I'd argue that the EMG kit is not representative of Dave's sound on the "real" PF albums (until 1980). His red EMG Strat was just a phase, the guitar that defines him is the Black Strat.

[@edward4840]

Doc Tari I swear this is the one reasonable argument where it's not just insulting it

[@splitwesti]

Agree with your comment and also Iptomtom's. I have the Seymour Duncan SSL 5, '69, and fat 50's PU's in my strat and I achieve some pretty deadly Floyd tones.

[@lapelcelery42]

@@splitwesti You guys are both right. I personally find a Fender CS69 or True Vintage 65 in the neck gets closer to the original records than the fat 50s though - even David has said the Fat 50s is thicker than his original '71 pickup.

[@StealthBeeKid]

Hey quick question from someone very new to this pedal thing, can't you like open it and modify to have 6 little buttons that can be turned on at the same time instead of 2 tiny switches that can only do one thing at a time

[@longdark4ever]

LOL, it actaully sounds pretty good especially when you played Brain Damage and Pigs, but the dark sound came from the recording engineers and who mastered it. Dark Side of the Moon has to be one of the best mixed and mastered album of all time.

[@person4119]

this thing is expensive but i finally bought it and ive had it for about half a year now and man is it worth every peny you can get so many sounds out of this thing plus it sounds incredible. i find myself turning it on almost every time i play, my favorite way to use it is either a fuzz with a rotary or with a delay but honestly anything you do with this it can sound incredible

[@lamaquinadehacerboludeces5620]

Fuzz,reverb,compress and delay Ah, and chorus

Yes but it would cost much more in the long run on those pedals individually and take up more board space.
