Why these settings

The ESP Eclipse II humbuckers have thicker low-mids and higher output than Gilmour's single-coil Strat, so the Big Muff Tone is rolled back slightly to 4 and the amp gain is kept low at 2 to avoid mud. The Tube Screamer is placed with Drive at 0 to restore the focused upper-midrange punch typical of Gilmour's Alembic preamp/Fane speaker combination without adding unwanted gain stacking. The WhoWatt 100 amp model is set clean with generous headroom to serve as a high-fidelity pedal platform.

PRO TIPPick firmly with a heavy pick right next to the bridge to emulate the attack of Gilmour's hot DiMarzio FS-1 pickup, and let heavy, deliberate wide vibrato carry your sustained bends into natural feedback.
