Why these settings

The Mooer GE150 Pro acts as your complete preamp, Big Muff fuzz, and rotary modulation chain directly into the Frontman 10G. Keep the Frontman strictly on its clean channel with low gain (2) and Treble rolled back to 4 to avoid brittle solid-state clipping, since the 10G has no mid control. Roll your Strat bridge humbucker tone to 8 to round off harsh top-end bite and capture Gilmour's violin-like sustain.

PRO TIPDig in with the flesh of your thumb alongside the pick on pinched notes to emphasize upper harmonics, and use wide, slow finger vibrato at the peak of full-step bends.
