The Pacifica 112V bridge humbucker has more output and low-mid heft than Gilmour's single-coil DiMarzio FS-1, so the Fuzz Tone is balanced at 5 and amp gain is held at 3 to prevent mud. The Tinystomp runs a high-headroom clean amp profile to replicate the Hiwatt DR103 platform while the Big Muff and Dyna Comp blocks supply the singing saturation. If splitting the Pacifica bridge humbucker via push-pull, bump the Muff Tone to 6 for authentic single-coil cut.
