01Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer
Provides the smooth, endless sustain and compressed attack essential to Gilmour's phrasing
02EHX Big Muff Pi
Kept at moderate sustain to act as a warm, singing lead drive without excessive fuzz rasp
03Digital Delay (Mustang LT40S onboard effect)
RECOMMENDED block — set delay time to roughly 440ms (dotted eighth/quarter mix) with 4-5 repeats
The Fender Mustang LT40S faceplate features only Bass and Treble controls (no dedicated Mid or Presence knobs). Running the CS-3 into a dialed-back Big Muff into the clean '65 Twin model captures the ultra-clean Hiwatt headroom and singing sustain of the Tube Driver/Big Muff combination. Tone is rolled back slightly on both the Strat and the Big Muff to round off high-end fizz and emulate Gilmour's smooth neck-pickup bloom.
