Why these settings

The Mooer GE100 handles both the amp model and the entire classic Gilmour chain internally. We use a transparent clean amp model pushed by an onboard boost and compressor to capture the Hiwatt and Colorsound dynamic headroom without introducing harsh solid-state clipping. Mid is kept full at 7 to prevent single-coil thinness, matching Gilmour's fat, singing lead voice. Four-note Syd's theme: pick firmly over the neck pickup for maximum fundamental roundness.

PRO TIPPick lightly on the four iconic notes ('Syd's Theme') using the flesh/side of the plectrum near the neck pickup to get that rounded, bell-like attack without transient spike.
