01Tank G Compressor Block
Essential for the DI studio squeeze and liquid sustain before hitting the amp block
02Tank G Overdrive Block (Booster / Blues mode)
Used as a warm clean boost to push the amp model into singing saturation without adding fizz
03Tank G Delay Block (Analog / Tape)
Subtle quarter-note echo (~380ms) sitting low in the mix behind the notes
04Tank G Reverb Block (Plate)
Recreates the studio plate reverb ambience from the final mix
The studio tone comes from a direct console input re-amped into a warm Mesa Mark I, so on the Tank G we use a mid-focused American lead amp model with modest preamp gain. Heavy compression out front does the heavy lifting for Gilmour's endless sustain, keeping the note attack clean and uncompressed by digital clipping. Rolling the guitar tone knob down to 8 rounds off harsh top-end bite to simulate the fat, hollow P-90 neck voice.
