I was thinking of doing my own rendition of comfortably numb. So today I started tweaking Cybie
The amp / tonestack is a strange mix of a Tweed tonestack against hotrod 2 tube config. Lots of revrb.(you know) high compression setting and gain at 7.
For fx I used Delay combined with pedal wha. I fixed the wha setting to a tone I liked and set Delay to again some quite high settings.
I started playing along a little, recorded about 5 session parts.
So hit me with comments remarks etc the pieces I put together contain sounds, licks and runs I intend to use for the full thingie.
I see you haven't lost your ability to morph into Dave Gilmour since the Old Man of the Sea.
FWIW - I felt the section between 0.00 and 0.15 seemed to have more of a Gilmour tone than the 0.15 to 0.26. Not sure why - maybe just an extra touch of edginess to the sound. One of the reasons I end up sounding more Knopfleresque than Gilmouresque if I play around with Floyd BTs - I find it difficult to hit that extra gear. Sometimes to be honest I find DG too edgy and have to stop listening.
Generally the 0.27 to 1.03 seemed to possess this slight edge too more than the 1.03 to 1.45 - don't know if there is a common factor with these. But having said that the crescendos with a touch of squeal at around 1.25 and 1.40 were very impressive.
I think all of what I heard works and the fact that I've suggested parts might be more Gilmourish doesn't necessarily mean I'd prefer them. I've probably listened to more HalfBlindLefty playing guitar in the last year than Dave Gilmour so I'm as happy for it to be whatever is "you". I'm eager to hearthis progress, and I'm quite happy to be the catalyst.
The first was the most Gilmouresque, but the other parts were more interesting to me. They fit very nicely with the track, and they sounded like the type of thing Gilmour would play if he's in a more playful or experimental mood - not quite classic Gilmour, but not a million miles away either, and more interesting for it.
As for tone, I would give it a longer delay, and scoop out those mids! Give the amp lots of treble, max bass but very low mids to get that Gilmour tone - if that's what you're looking for.
Ok, thanks for all the remarks, comments and pointers :)
VB the sound changes are only because of the fact that I turn a little more towards the speakers.
The sharper tone is just bacause of the wha setting that reacts at those notes with a squeel when I bend in a .. mhh certain way.
Alright, now I want to play it through a couple of times, make the song grow on me and then hit the 12bar charts :P

I already changed a couple of settings.
Little higher on the precense
a Little lower on reverb input, reverb input switchable by foortswitch.
A little longer delay and some extra repeats.
Just a touch less mids... I rarther like the tone now
