Why these settings

Your Tone Master Pro can load a Hiwatt DR103 model directly — use that for authenticity. Your Strat's bridge single-coil is brighter than Gilmour's Esquire, so treble is dropped from 7 to 6 to compensate. The Hiwatt stayed nearly clean; gain is set low (3) since the compression and delays create the perceived fullness, not amp distortion.

PRO TIPTune to Drop D. The entire riff is built on palm-muted D and A power-chord pedal tones — pick aggressively right above the bridge saddles for that brittle, percussive attack that lets the delays do their rhythmic work.
