Why these settings

The Schecter Omen 6 humbuckers have higher output and warmer mids than Gilmour's single-coil Strat, so the amp treble is set slightly higher to retain articulation while fuzz is dialed conservatively at 7 to prevent low-end mud. The Ampero Mini's clean Hiwatt model provides the high-headroom platform needed for the Big Muff block and physical overdrive stack to deliver full sustain without preamp flub. First verse/chorus clean tone: bypass the Fuzz block and physical overdrive while leaving the compressor, modulation, and delay active.

PRO TIPPick firmly with the meat of the pick close to the bridge for aggressive pinch harmonics on the bends, but use a wide, slow finger vibrato at the peak of each bend to let the Big Muff bloom into continuous sustain.
