Why these settings

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.

PRO TIPGilmour creates the liquid 'slide' bends not with his hands or the tremolo, but by rocking a DigiTech Whammy treadle set to one octave up; to mimic this without the Whammy, use the Floyd Rose bridge to dip and pull up into target pitches while holding full sustain.
