01Dyna Comp / Compressor Block
Placed first to even out pick attack and feed endless sustain into the fuzz
02Ram's Head / Triangle Fuzz Block
Primary gain source; Tone Master Pro's onboard vintage fuzz model
03Digital Delay Block
Set to roughly 440ms with 3-4 subtle repeats to replicate the studio console echo
The iconic solo was tracked using a 1955 Les Paul with P-90s direct into the board and re-amped, yielding a rounder, thicker attack than a typical Strat bridge pickup. On your Ultra Strat, use the neck pickup with tone dialed back to 7 to replicate the fat, vocal warmth of Gilmour's neck P-90 without piercing high end. Keep the Tone Master Pro's British 100W amp model clean at gain 3 so the virtual Ram's Head fuzz provides the pure creamy saturation. Rhythm funk part: bypass the fuzz and delay, select bridge+middle pickup, and run the compressor clean into the amp.
