Set Your Amp & Pedals From Scratch For David Gilmour Tones w/Me! (The Right Way!)

[@mustyguitar]

I want to clear something, around 02:25, i'm playing a pretty clean tone, just amp. It can sound dull and you might be thinking: "this is just a plain amp sound, what's this different from any transistor amp?" Well, the volume in the room is insanely low, like, literally, you can hear the strings more than the amp itself. If I add a little more volume, it would sound more like a tube amp working, but that would mean I need to lower the level on my pedals, which mean I get less dynamic result from them (especially big muff). It's ONLY AMP and my compression is almost always on to give those tubes some lift. So it's not dull, it just has so low volume :)) I want to repeat myself, because I can't stress this enough, THE AMP VOLUME IS SO LOW, MY CAMERA MIC DIDN'T EVEN CAPTURE THE AMP SOUND MORE THAN THE STRINGS... 🎸 Absolute Essential Top 10 Gilmour Solo Backing Tracks and Tabs: www.patreon.com/mustafacankaya/shop/10-essential-gilmour-solo-tabs-solo-14794?Link& 🔥 Access to the backing tracks, tones, tabs, request videos and support my work!: www.patreon.com/mustafacankaya 💵 Here are the 9 CHEAP AND BEST pedals I recommend for almost all the tones I get: thmn.to/thocf/xxm4h02xts ✅ Here are all my gear that I can't live without: thmn.to/thocf/at2lukfwk3 ➡ Check Out My Jams: kzbin.info/aero/PLZE1z4lCW33MVR-33x4zk9aecfnJiUIfj

Hi Mustapha. Awesome video, as always. I have to try the compressor with my tube amp for low volume (I only play at home).

[@deanborosane5451]

Hello, can i ask you one question. Because you use minimum amp level sound and maximum pedal dynamic sound, how you use it when you play with another musicians in the room. So my question is what do you do if you want super attacking clean sound and the biggest muff sound without big set changing on pedals or amp without sound system?

[@funnyharleyman]

I’ll be turning 70 soon and one of the major things I took away from this video, (besides the wonderful playing), was wishing I could sit on the floor like that again. LOL

[@mustyguitar]

Wow, thank you for your kind words, I'm lost for words about sitting though...

absolutely brilliant video! - I love Gilmour's playing and sounds - why have I missed your channel before? Thank you, really great! 😎

Just sat through this with my pedalboard in front of me, the settings work pretty damn well with my Laney L5 too. Top work!

This is such an awesome video Mustafa, I just sat and did it all again, and what you play is amazing here :) a most valuable lesson for sure :)

[@PellPas]

thanks Musty, you have no idea how much this video was helpful in regards of pedal settings. Keep up the great work !

[@ronswary]

Couldn’t of said it better myself … “this to much to do by myself” I feel your pain up and down

[@mustyguitar]

HAHAHAHAHA, it's really hard to manage 2 cameras (one without tripod :)), mic on my phone, ridiculous space, recording on logic and pedals. definitely 2 person job, i wish someone took a picture of the room xD

[@ronswary]

@@mustyguitar I deal with similar problem. Amps over here the daws here the pedals are there bend down readjust guitar ok then turn this knob ok back to this now . Ok save setup on Daw . Come back hour later idk if I like this now lol do it all over lol

[@101wut2]

Thanks for this! I already had the Blues Driver, Green Russian Muff and Flashback 2, so this was pretty easy to follow. I'd been struggling to get a nice creamy Muff tone without the annoying fizz in the top end, and it turns out I was making the classic rookie error of neglecting the EQ! I've added a GE-7 to my board and it's really singing now. One thing you didn't include here that I personally can't live without is the NS-2 noise suppressor, but that's a matter of preference!

[@TheMikeygas]

hahahaha....a nice creamy muff.....sorry

[@Twylightt]

And where you put the GE7?

[@PeteHoward777]

Cheers buddy , I really enjoyed this video . Many thanks once again .. catch you next time 👌🏻😉

Extremely helpful thank you

[@GabrielRodrigues-rh1tg]

you can't imagine the difference the rotary simulator made, even though it was very subtle! I think it's the great secret of gilmour!

[@mustyguitar]

yeah, i don't use chorus or flanger as much as i used to, it's the only modulation i use other than phaser. i love that pedal.

[@13aphomet]

@@mustyguitar So to get his Electric Mistress tones you just use phase and rotary? I bought that mooer elec lady pedal and it's amazing for the money. My rotary (digitech Ventura) and phase doesn't sound like flange.. I need a new rotary I think...

[@mustyguitar]

@@13aphomet no, I don't use flanger much, i have a mooer elec lady as well, i just don't play flanger tones much. digitech ventura has a leslie type rotary by the way, it may not give you gilmour tones spot on. but neo ventilator, boss rt-20, dawner prince pulse would give you a better sound.

[@---qb2lw]

Hello dude, why you don’t use the fx loop of your amp for your pedals? Btw thank you for your useful videos and congratulations for your high skills.

[@mustyguitar]

I don't like to use fx loop on these kinds of cheap bedroom amps and I don't even use it on my studio amp with friends, because my amp is already clean...

[@luisgoregonzalez7394]

5:42🤩🙌🏻

[@wesmitchem825]

You gotta take in account that most British amps EQ where subtractive so everything at ten is what most active EQ are at 5 plus you need a univibe and flanger and sometimes a chorus pedal for some pink Floyd tones they used every tool they could get there hands on.i wish someone would make ems synthi hi fli pedal.theres a few formant filter pedals that do some of the sounds but not everything.they also used a Ludwig phase 4 or something like that it was another weird ass synth pedal that's a pain to find but those obscure pedals were only on live recordings I think for trippy jams

[@low3603]

Hey Musty, great video man! Quick question, do you set your drive pedals much above unity? Is it better to have your amp set low and turn up the drive pedals??

[@mustyguitar]

I like to set my compression pedals above unity and my overdrives around unity. I don't want to increase the volume of my signal with just overdrive pedals, I want to have some rhythm breathing room. If I want something more, I'd just stomp on compressor.

[@low3603]

@@mustyguitar thank you

How do you incorparate the Boss HM-2 in your set up? Your EMG equipped strat, do you use one 9 volt battery or two? A very informative video.

[@hafstrat]

Fabulous video. Thank you for this. I miss my Laney combo. Mr Blackstar ht5 clean channel works though. What do you think of the Rat v the ehx green Russian muff? Thanks again. Proves you don’t need to go bananas to get great DG tones. Tasty licks and noddles too ❤

[@diegopalominoss]

i hace the same blackstar, the ht5r, how do you set it with your pedals? i find the big muff way too mid scooped with the clean channel, and since that channel is so dark i crank the tone which is the only knob it has, but it still sounds kinda bad with the muff, i have another fuzz with more mids which sounds better

[@hafstrat]

@@diegopalominoss Hello! I don’t have a big muff but was considering getting one. The clean channel takes the Rat well and almost sounds like a muff👍🏼

[@diegopalominoss]

@@hafstrat great to hear, had a rat and it was great, i dont recommend the muff with this amp tho

[@hafstrat]

@@diegopalominoss thank you for your advice. !

[@gkf9]

​@diegopalominoss I have a Blackstar HT20 and yes the Muff doesn't sound great, but I've just got the Ramshead muff, so I'll have to make do.

[@Nacoinini]

Thanks so much for this video Mustafa !!! Have you got a video showing how you are connecting to the PC and through those headphones? What is that Frequency response waveform that you showed? I am looking forward to try out the settings with you, however, I do not have David's EMGs, but the SD SSL-5 at the bridge of my Fender MIJ Midnight Strat should be close. I will use the Tube Pilot instead of the Blues Driver and another compressor (Mooer Yellow Comp) as a booster instead of the Charlie Brown. I don't have the RT-20, however, I will place the Boss ME-80 at the end of the chain as it contains the RT-80 effect within it, I will use the Hiwatt T20/10 for an amp which should be close enough, if not, I will try the Boss Katana 100. What do you think? Can't wait to try it out 😎

[@mustyguitar]

Hey, I don't have a video about how I record, but i'll make one in the future. Frequency response? You mean the eq in logic pro? It's a free plug-in that shows the frequencies and you can eq on in. there are not that much difference between EMG and SSL-5 when EMG SPC or EXG is off. Mooer Yellow Comp is amazing, i used that for a long time. Love that eq. i don't have experience with Boss ME-80 so i can't say anything about that but Hiwatt amp is always reliable and great. You can't go wrong with it. It's too much for a bedroom level in my opinion, but you be the judge. Boss Katana 100 is too much too, you can use 50w version and it scales to 0.5w i think, i tried it in a guitar store, so i can't say it's good or bad but people say it's the best non-tube amp.

[@Nacoinini]

@@mustyguitar thanks for your detailed reply. It would be great if you made that video on how you record, thanks for that.

[@markquinton8123]

@@mustyguitar I agree, would love to see a recording video!

[@Twylightt]

Thanks for this ride! For Pulse tones… With your vídeos i think clean sounds and overdrive tipicaly dont need GE7 - right? Here you have one GE7, you put it after the last drive , and, you set him to use with big muff (first drive). … so, why not put after the big muff?

[@Twylightt]

You dont play one pastfx pedal, like patriarch ou td-y? Better green muff + bd2+ charlie?

[@mustyguitar]

I might not have those pedals back then. this is a very old video that I'll update in the near future.

[@douginny]

Nice man. But what works even better is setting up a looper in front of your board. Play a figure and adjust sound until you HAVE it!

[@mustyguitar]

you know, that is an awesome advice man, never thought of it.

[@douginny]

Hey man. Does your RT 20 add volume even with no overdrive set on it? Mine adds at least 6dB. It's impossible to a achieve unity

[@mustyguitar]

@@douginny how are you setting it? wet and dry both on 12 would add some volume. but as you can hear from the video, how I set in the video doesn't add noticeably

[@merseypirates]

Hi mustafa how do we get the sound in bedroom without going through daw in to computer

[@mustyguitar]

you HAVE the sound in bedroom without going through daw into a computer. I just record it :)) it's the same sound in the room without the room reverb.

[@BeesWaxMinder]

What pedals are you using exactly?

[@cryptoknight7256]

No Mistress or chorus? Also, I have a laney too but the gain control is driving me crazy. I can't get a super clean sound because I get nothing when I set the gain down to 0. Is that normal? Thanks!

[@mustyguitar]

yes, that's normal for this amp. No clean fender sound out of this guy

[@jeffreymiddleton4063]

[@moonvals]

Phase before dirt ? Intresting

[@sabbathwarship6610]

That's how I like it too. I keep my univibe after a treble booster and phaser or Wah Wah right up, first thing to the guitar input. No right or wrongs, some setups will behave differently for you

[@ottavioamato5373]

this what everyone want to listen ... a few pedals on a budget and many many choices of real Gilmour sound; i'll try the same sound with my Laney L5 (i got the same Boss Bd, Soviet Muff and a Boss Sd1 plus Zoom G3 for effects) but i need your hands ...ha,ha,ha ...

[@KYCDK]

something i've noticed with the amp is that gilmour never has it set as clean as people think when in the studio. listen to these songs: shine on you crazy diamond 4 notes part breathe brain damage run like hell these are songs are great examples of david gilmours "clean" amp sound with no overdrive. if you listen closley, theres a significant edge of breakup that is moore similar to have a cigar rather than the echoes riff on shine on, he has his amp set to a slight edge of breakup that warms up the phaser on breathe, it's to get this harsher brittle tone from the univibe on brain damage, theres this noticeable pick attack that you get from a noticeable amp compression from edge of breakup on run like hell it makes the main riff more driven the "david gilmour clean sound" that people think of is when he DOESN'T use his amp. another brick part 1 and the rythm part of part 2. the first and second solo of shine on. echoes main riff. all those are him putting his guitar straight into the mixing desk set the amp to edge of breakup and use your volume knob to clean it up for the very clean stuff.

I also have Laney Cub 12r - bought it for 175 euro one day with new set of tubes. Great deal. I can say that i also have Blackstar Debut 10e and for 71 euro (new one) you can achieve great tones. It's solid state with delay so works great with big muff. And it's quite dark amp. DON'T ever buy Debut 15E - it's so much worse imo.
