USING THE POWER BOOST/OVERDRIVER WITH A HIWATT - The pure Colorsound 18v Power Boost sound is all over the Obscured by Clouds and Wish You Were Here albums, so I have experimented with various settings on my Hiwatt amps and Power Boost /Overdrivers to replicate those tones.

Although David has been fairly true to the original album version in recent years, he often wandered off the signature pattern on the 1977 version and added a more hardcore blues feeling to the solo. Especially the 1977 version when he used a Big Muff, that must have blown a few circuits on the stage. You never disappoint!!! His playing is so much more inspired and aerial. Cheers! The blues has always been the fundament of David’s playing and very much like Hendrix, he’s managed to take that influence and make it his own. I can play this song as per the original WYWH version note for note but this phrase is one of the key differences between the original opening solo and the pulse version, I think its a good improvement over the original and I’d really love to know what notes they are!

The Japanese pedals seems to be slightly better. An interesting effect occured while reading your article. – Bjorn], Man, great stuff. It’s my favourite mix by far as David’s guitar parts – particularly in the opening minutes of Shine On – are very prominent and clear. They add more depth and character to his tone but it’s not a dominating effect like playing straight through a Leslie. Wish you were here? – Bjorn]. Oh, and David Gilmour’s not so bad, either. He’s using the red Strat with the EMGs, a Demeter Compulator, BK Tube Driver (one set for clean volume boost and the other for heavy overdrive for the second solo) and digital delay.” Trying to get triplets and fourths delays, the most similar combination that I found is the “1-34”.

Love to play that solo :) We often performed Dark Side, WYWH and Animals based on specific live recordings and we tried our best to copy every detail. PS: Can I say “When” so you come to Holland too? Sounds pretty much like the real deal, maybe because the Hiwatt is the real deal :) The jaguar can be rather spikey at times…. The tone is perfect (especially when hitting those low notes) and your playing is great. For the second and third solo I just give more sustain to the SS-3 to get a more fuzzy tone. [Thanks a lot for you kind words, João :) – Bjorn]. – Bjorn], Hey Bjorn, just wanted to ask a little question… That video of yours, doing the 3rd solo from Shine On. – Bjorn].

Okay but on my guitar it’s sounds to harsh on the bridge and too mellow on the neck the middle too hollow but then again my Strat has a dimarzio FS1 in the bridge, and when did he added the switch, what was the switch there to begin with? Because I got the sound pretty close with a twin reverb style. [I’ve never seen anything written on how he recorded the intro solo but if you listen to it it doesn’t sound like it’s fed straight into the board. But who knows? What’s your experience?
