01DigiTech Whammy
RECOMMENDED — not owned (set to +1 Octave Harmony/Bend; essential for the signature pitch-shifting lead)
02Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master V3 Delay
FX loop (provides Gilmour's signature 440ms ambient repeats and subtle tail)
03Matthe Effects The Cosmonaut
FX loop (run bypassed or set to light plate wash behind the Dispatch Master)
The Bogner Überschall module is naturally an ultra-high-gain, dark, aggressive voiced preamp, so avoid the Red channel entirely and stick to the Clean/Blue channel at moderate gain (around 4) to emulate the singing saturation of Gilmour's BK Butler Tube Driver into a Hiwatt. Schecter's hot humbuckers push the front end much harder than Gilmour's EMG single-coils, so the neck pickup with tone slightly rolled back will round out the pick attack and prevent harsh clipping. Your Dispatch Master handles both the essential ~440ms delay and subtle ambience natively in the loop. Clean verse: tone is lead-only throughout the piece, adjust volume knob to 7 for softer dynamic passages.
