01Compressor (CS block)
Evens out pick attack and provides punchy Gilmour-style percussive sustain
02Tremolo (FX block)
Essential for the verse chop; sync rate to ~126 BPM (1/16 notes) with a hard/square wave character
03Tape Echo (Delay block)
Subtle 300ms slap/echo to emulate the Abbey Road Binson Echorec trail
The Dean Zelinsky LaVoce has humbuckers (often with coil-tap capability), whereas Gilmour recorded this on a single-coil Strat bridge pickup; if your LaVoce has coil-splitting, engage it on the bridge pickup, or keep treble and presence pushed to 65+ to counteract humbucker warmth. The Boss GT-1 handles the entire chain internally: the BRIT STACK preamp models Gilmour's high-headroom Hiwatt clean platform, kept at low gain to avoid clipping. The aggressive tremolo block mimics the studio Kepex noise gate pulse that defines the verse rhythm. For the searing fuzz solo later in the song, kick on a Muff/O.D. block into this same clean platform.
