Why these settings

The Cube Baby's US Clean model provides the high-headroom, transparent foundation of Gilmour's Hiwatt DR103. Keeping gain low prevents premature digital clipping while maintaining the massive clean punch needed for the intro lead. Set the onboard delay to roughly 380ms with 3-4 audible repeats to replicate the Binson Echorec repeats heard on Syd's Theme.

PRO TIPPick firmly near the neck pickup using the flesh and edge of a heavy pick for that round, woody attack before letting the note bloom into controlled sustain.
