the world is full of patches on pink floyd, including on fractal... i don't understand why g66 doesn't sell the package made by brit floyd, they would make more money than with the fm3 line! I personally would pay even 500 euros for such a professional pack
To be frank... I stopped using any modelling stuff and replaced it by real gear and I don't regret... Note that I know how to customize analog electronics, in fact, I was already building my own boutique guitar amps about 35y ago... but due to serious setbacks, I started to use DI stuff like the Rocktron Chameleon in 1995...

I still have a DAW at the studio but... I'm a little more modest than Gilmour : I havent a Neve 88R mixing console, as well as three Studer A827 24 tracks reel tape recorders and ATC monitoring, but...

Will be seeing u in April at the gennesee, saw u last yr , the most phenomenal show I could have experienced, u Damian are so in sync with each other and the rest of the band , the girls Eva her solo is tear jerking thanks for keeping Floyd alive ❤
I saw them a few nights ago. They were good. The guys signing sounded A LOT like David. I mean, really, really close. They're a good band. That's for sure. The system sounded good too. That's how I got here. I looked up Fractal Audio Systems when the show was over.
Yes I just see a. Video on here witch was put on 2 days ago and the new guitarist sounds as near to Gilmores voice as you gonna get he is excellent 👌👌👌👌👌
WOW! such iconic licks and iconic tones/sounds that all of us Pink Floyd fans have heard jillions of times.. and Edo (and his tech) have NAiILED it!!! props all around.. thanks Cooper!
The Master! Thanks for this great rundown and the chance to hear the tones and the parts out of the mix. I have seen Brit Floyd 8 times in Stavanger, the tones have always been fantastic. Especially after Edo joined and you started using Axe FX 2 and 3
Amazing tones! I think the FM9 has that Run Like Hell setting.. I play with it all the time. Maybe Edo made it! For all you kids chasing John Mayer tones (lol)... Gilmour is the OG rabbit hole. Holy grail stuff.
Great show in Albuquerque last Sunday, Edo. You all sounded superb from the third row center. Thanks for the tour of your presets (from a fellow Axe-Fx III user).
Excellent overview of some very technically accurate sounds, have frequently enjoyed listening to Edo's own YT channel separately showing his solos on various Floyd tracks (always gravitating to both Comfortably Numb and Poles Apart). Particularly impressed with that tone match for the 12 string on Wish You Were Here, especially in comparison to the natural sound without effects. Very impressive on that feedback that's able to be driven out of the Axe FX. Definitely in the very top tier of Tribute Acts, well done to all of you!
Perfectly crafted tones, a great example of low cut application, to avoid invading bass territory. Great lesson for everyone seeking for a great and ready-2-go live guitar tone which sound guys would love and thank
Now this dude knows his Gilmour ! He along with Dave Dominee Fowler are the best I've ever heard yet, playing the music as we know it to be. Steve Mac is also a purist in his own right. Great thing about these guys....they know how to play and do so with style. Hats off well done.!
C'mon, you have everything you need to make your presets on Gilmourish and Kitt Rae... I will maybe buy a Fractal if the Eventide rack dies but I didn't fell the algos were on par with Eventide's and there are more than 800 inside my rack... Maybe I'll put a laptop on a tablet in the SKB and use plugins... I'm not interested by amp and stompboxes modelling...
Man, this guy is spot on as is his tone. I am confused though- in the beginning did he say he has 2 AxeFXIII's but never uses them? Then what does he use? He is using the FJ's so I assume he is using them for this demo.
I'm on the fence of Boss GT1000, Fractal FM3 or FM9 .... the FM9 is the most tempting, but also $$$$ 🫤 the FM3 is limited to only one reverb and one amp and less CPU power ... any thoughts?
I've seen these guys a couple of times. They put on an amazing show. Second only to Roger Waters himself, really. Better than David's show when I saw him as well, in my opinion.
@EdoardoScordo : TWO GREAT TIPS FOR YOU: 1.) Use a Yamaha FC-7 as volume control so you can slash the footswitch you use for boost purpose : the FC-7 has a spring in end-course... I usually set up the MIDI volume at 90 in the position the plate is topped by the (rather hard) spring... Then, push it with your foot and keep your foot on, oooops, my MIDI volume is now 127... signal boosted! I xas already using the FC-7 with the ART SGE and a Boss FC-50 more than 30 years ago !!!! 2.)Replace your Strat by the Vigier Excalibur Supra, you won't need the pitch shifter for the Money solo! Just put your Strat PUs into the Excalibur and use a duplo pot to get the 2 tone controls, thus, since, under the pickguard, you have a HSH routing on all, even the SSS ones, I strongly recommand to have custom handwound PUs made to your taste... I was in a PF cover band about 15 years ago and so did I... A very nice setup from neck to bridge : N: Strat'71 + SD Jeff Beck Jr. M : Strat'71 B : DiMarzio FS-1 + DM Custom Shop Half Track OR a SC sized Super Distortion Noter : my PU guy hand rewound the PUs and made fully the Fender replicas, he install a magnetic barrage so, e.g. the ceramic magnet of the Half Track won't rot the alnico-5 FS-1. In fact, it's more a synthesis of my 2 Excaliburs in order to get ideas : one has Abigail Ybarra PUs, so it's more into Hendrix, the Half Track is in bridge and the FS-1 in neck like Knopfler... The JB.Jr and the Super Distortion go with the The Wall set... The Half Track has enough output level for e.g. Metallica's Ride the Lightning, but, lower the pot volume and you can sound near like a very old Telecaster! Using the Muff Germanium4, I can sound like Page on Led Zep 1 !!! The Freeway 10 posn blade selector replaces any 5 posn one, you just have to up/down the lever on any posn... I have one push pull to reverse the central PU phase and a kill-switch on each too... Since you can replace pickguards withour a soldering iron, I have severa other ones for other uses, I just pointed what is intended for Strat replacement. I can guarantee you that will never regret dumping your Fender Strat... They hadn't a real one as theses weren't available in USA at the time, there were just a few shops in Europe, but what is said about Excalibur in Wayne's World is true!
Cool video I guess except I personally dislike videos that only show off what the AxeFx can do. We all know it does what the professionals do but rarely do professionals share the actual presets. Its really annoying. Like talking to a chick online but never getting to meet her.
It would cost you over 100k to duplicate Gilmour’s rig with his actual amps and effects. 1000’s of high profile artists and sidemen have been using fractal gear for a decade and they are basically bullet proof. I’ve been using fractal gear for almost 4 years and never sounded this good with my tube amps, pedals and mic live. Yes the real amps sound better on a studio or in your basement. But for a small to medium size band without a dedicated sound engineer tweaking mic positions and settings throughout the whole show you won’t sound that good, specially if you are relying on an underpaid house tech who could care less about your band. With the fractal you just give him the 2 xlr lines and ask him to keep gain and Eq flat and you have repeated results night after night regardless of where you are. You won’t get that with a tube amp. And I love tube amps and have been using them for almost 40 years…
There’s a reason why touring musicians use amp modellers. The old valve amp vs modeller argument has raged on since the introduction of the Line 6 Pod. There will always be purists who will insist that valve amps are better than modellers. That’s fine, but it’s beside the point. Yes, valve amps are amazing! Speaking from personal, professional experience, I toured with valve amps for years. I’ve also toured using Axe FX, Kemper and Quad Cortex based rigs. These days, when you hear a good amp modeller though a front of house PA, the sound quality is indistinguishable from a mic’d valve amp. Ask any professional sound engineer. Not only that, but the sound of a modeller-based rig will be consistent night after night. The likes of David Gilmour, Slash and John Mayer have the luxury and budget of touring with a backline of multiple valve amps, a backup for everything and enough crew on hand to replace anything that goes down mid-gig. It’s expected of them to use the real thing. However, on a show like Brit Floyd, where you have to authentically replicate sounds from multiple eras, using a host of effects, an amp modeller can be a very sensible option. Plus, it sounds great! If you only use 3 sounds in your entire set, with minimal effects, and if you're comfortable lugging 4x12 cabs around the world, use your valve amp. The choice isn’t down to either/or. Valve amp users aren’t renouncing vintage amps in favour of modellers, but instead opting for convenience. It just comes down to choosing the right tool for the job.
Sadly, there's always one. Did you miss what he explained...he has purposely eq'd out frequencies that if too much bottom end will disturb the other musicians and he would not be able to hear them! Look, watch how Pete Thorn governs his stereo amp rig on the Rock Show tour he's done and you suddenly realize it's not all about you! Robert Wyatt said about Dave Gilmour that "he has a sense for the entire piece of music, it's not all about me and my axe.' Ditto! If you're a bedroom rock star blasting yourself through the back wall, you would think this normal, good tone good fun?....Nah!
It sounds really close but also extremely thin! Like a digital snapshot of the finished product rather than the real equipment but in a mix with all the other stuff i doubt if anyone could tell but it sounds like glorified line6 vetta products to me honestly....great tools ...but also floyd has to sound spot on every night where's i would improvise more
Have you ever used a fractal in real life ? Guessing your listening on a phone or computer. ? Sound rez sucks on TH-cam and it’s compressed to hell. Live fractals sound better then the real thing. And with fractal it’s literally sonic-ly perfect and the the ideal page not to mention everything else if you really want to get into it. If you play guitar give a fractal a chance you might like it.
I was a close-minded guy just like you, suddenly I got the chance to play through a Fractal unit, Believe it or not, I'm not interested in real amps anymore.

Edo is awesome, met him twice and he’s so warm and kind and willing to share so many tips. A+ !!
Please Cooper - get us a preset or two!
God tier tones Edo!
Right?!
Wish he would put the presets on the exchange
Would buy these patches if possible 😊😊
Hes a sick sick guitarist wow!!
Edo, every time I watch you play, you give me CHILLS! Love it, Love it, Love it! FORZA ITALIA! Ci vediamo a presto! Saluti.
Will be seeing u in April at the gennesee, saw u last yr , the most phenomenal show I could have experienced, u Damian are so in sync with each other and the rest of the band , the girls Eva her solo is tear jerking thanks for keeping Floyd alive ❤
Edo is the greatest guitarist of any Floyd tribute band in the world. He replicates Gilmour like no other.
I saw them a few nights ago. They were good. The guys signing sounded A LOT like David. I mean, really, really close. They're a good band. That's for sure. The system sounded good too. That's how I got here. I looked up Fractal Audio Systems when the show was over.

👍 he went through all the songs and tones. Being a fan for a long time, and a tone seeker I was waiting for YOUNG Lust…Did not disappoint!
WOW! such iconic licks and iconic tones/sounds that all of us Pink Floyd fans have heard jillions of times.. and Edo (and his tech) have NAiILED it!!! props all around.. thanks Cooper!
Would you kindly share your presets, if you do not mind?
Being a Floyd fan and playing a lot of their songs at gigs id love a copy of these pre sets would even pay ...
You may like this: th-cam.com/video/Y4Pi5lHEIGU/w-d-xo.html. His presets are great, too, and available for purchase.
Grande Edo
Si si grande Edo ma grazie anche a te per averlo ospitato a proposito una riospitata?🤭
@@raffaeledicapua7086 ci sta 😅
Fantastic player, and spot on tones!
🙌
Axe fx 3 you are on my hit list!!
Congrats Edo. Very Nice!
That was a blast!! You virtually nailed the sounds and the playing of our legendary Dave. Well done pal.
Great show tonight. Winnipeg mb. At The Burton Cummings Theatre.
Love learning about music. This guy is so talented. I see them, next month. I cannot wait. Thank you to whomever posted this video.
you're welcome ;)
Brit Floyd is amazing 😎 best live show I have seen in my entire life.
The Master! Thanks for this great rundown and the chance to hear the tones and the parts out of the mix. I have seen Brit Floyd 8 times in Stavanger, the tones have always been fantastic. Especially after Edo joined and you started using Axe FX 2 and 3
Thanks for explaining everything Edo, I love getting all the details so I appreciate the time you took.
Sounds amazing hope you come to Montreal
Incredible sounds
Great inedeed. Could you share your presets? Thank you!
Man has HUGE hands
So does Gilmour, so it works 😅
I want to buy this guy's Axe Fx , Killer tones here ,, i wouldnt want any thing else if i sounded this good.
Amazing tones!
I think the FM9 has that Run Like Hell setting.. I play with it all the time. Maybe Edo made it!
For all you kids chasing John Mayer tones (lol)... Gilmour is the OG rabbit hole. Holy grail stuff.
Run like he'll..is awesome exactly gilmours tone.
Time solo just beautiful
Amazing, wish I had all these tones to play with! Superb playing
Grande Edo! Orgoglio Italiano!!!!!!! Spero che torniate a Trieste il prossimo anno!!!!
some absolutely fantastic playing and tones!
Quel beau cadeau 🎁 Heureuse de voir sur G 66 que je remercie ainsi que Britfloyd officialisé et Edoardo Scordo ♥️🙏👩🦱
Incredible acoustic guitar patch

Great sound, man.
We saw you guys in Springfield, Illinois - bravo!
wooooow fantastic sound and player
wow ... simply awesome!
grande Edo SEI IL NUMERO UNO
I know it is not possible but I''m interested in how he build up this tones.
I’ve asked him if he’s allowed to share and he isn’t lol Figured wouldn’t hurt to ask lol
@@PeterDunbarwhy ‘not allowed’? These are his presets either he wants or not. He clearly doesn’t and it’s ok
That’s their trade secret 🤐
Just saw you guys play in Detroit. Fantastic show and great guitar tones! Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Grande Edo! Che suoni! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
If Fractal sells the presets of BritFloyd Will buy a Fractal TODAY . No doubt about that. It’s a nice equipment but without the preset…..
C'mon, you have everything you need to make your presets on Gilmourish and Kitt Rae...
I will maybe buy a Fractal if the Eventide rack dies but I didn't fell the algos were on par with Eventide's and there are more than 800 inside my rack... Maybe I'll put a laptop on a tablet in the SKB and use plugins... I'm not interested by amp and stompboxes modelling...
I will buy a Fractal Axe FX 3 just for that, where can I buy the presets?
No cabinets? Right trough the PA? Why is the signal chain after Fractal?
Wow Amazing tones!!!!
Wow!
Fantastic body of work. Clearly nailed the tone and FX
How can we get these presets? Omg 😮
Holy crap, "Pigs" his fav part was like it came directly out of the recording studio! 12:23
DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY SITE THAT HAS CAPTURES OF THE FRACTAL PRESETS FOR NAM (Neural AMP Modeler) ??
So no tube amps? Guitar to Fractal to foh?
Spettacolo
Hello! How to get these presets for FM9?
Wow so that's the secret to his great sound...... looks like Edo has an awesome guitar Rig.. as well as an awesome wife..
Cuantos años te tomo configurar esas fractal 😢?
Great video , thanks for doing this!!
Man, this guy is spot on as is his tone. I am confused though- in the beginning did he say he has 2 AxeFXIII's but never uses them? Then what does he use? He is using the FJ's so I assume he is using them for this demo.
He use 1 Axe FX. The other one is his spare unit . So he can switch to the second one if there are technical problems.
Hey did the other guitarist said he dropped it because it wouldn’t feedback
Can I buy his presets ? god they sound good!
sounds great , just wondering on the monitoring, are those powered 1x12s behind him? or all IEMs ?
I'm on the fence of Boss GT1000, Fractal FM3 or FM9 .... the FM9 is the most tempting, but also $$$$ 🫤 the FM3 is limited to only one reverb and one amp and less CPU power ... any thoughts?
Bad ass!!!!
Im in a pinkfloyd tribute band and gonna buy the FM9 for at the moment, are you using only the FXIII with directly to the FOH table? thanks!
Sounds better than the recording. Live is just ridiculous Do not miss Brit Floyd
Didnt catch what the "always the right thing" button does?
FM3 PRESET please?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What a tone!!! ♥♥♥
Fuzz is the achilles heel, all else is awesome.
Did he share the presets?
No, he didn't, I'm pretty sure he won't...
@@KevinSolano I wonder why? You still have to be able to play, I doubt anyone would take his gig.. But to sound like that at home!!! Would be awesome.
I've seen these guys a couple of times. They put on an amazing show. Second only to Roger Waters himself, really. Better than David's show when I saw him as well, in my opinion.
Yeah nice tones but if you're trying to replicate Gilmour on Dark Side Of The Moon I'd swap that Tele for a Strat pronto!
@EdoardoScordo :
TWO GREAT TIPS FOR YOU:
1.) Use a Yamaha FC-7 as volume control so you can slash the footswitch you use for boost purpose : the FC-7 has a spring in end-course... I usually set up the MIDI volume at 90 in the position the plate is topped by the (rather hard) spring...

A very nice setup from neck to bridge :
N: Strat'71 + SD Jeff Beck Jr.
M : Strat'71
B : DiMarzio FS-1 + DM Custom Shop Half Track OR a SC sized Super Distortion
Noter : my PU guy hand rewound the PUs and made fully the Fender replicas, he install a magnetic barrage so, e.g. the ceramic magnet of the Half Track won't rot the alnico-5 FS-1. In fact, it's more a synthesis of my 2 Excaliburs in order to get ideas : one has Abigail Ybarra PUs, so it's more into Hendrix, the Half Track is in bridge and the FS-1 in neck like Knopfler... The JB.Jr and the Super Distortion go with the The Wall set...
The Half Track has enough output level for e.g. Metallica's Ride the Lightning, but, lower the pot volume and you can sound near like a very old Telecaster! Using the Muff Germanium4, I can sound like Page on Led Zep 1 !!!

I can guarantee you that will never regret dumping your Fender Strat... They hadn't a real one as theses weren't available in USA at the time, there were just a few shops in Europe, but what is said about Excalibur in Wayne's World is true!
Just sell the presets and I will easily give 300 just like that haha
Cool video I guess except I personally dislike videos that only show off what the AxeFx can do. We all know it does what the professionals do but rarely do professionals share the actual presets. Its really annoying. Like talking to a chick online but never getting to meet her.
too much grit
$5000 U would not want to gig with it. And still don't come close to a valve amp with a kick ass distortion
Please. Metallica disagrees wth you. As does the Edge. Oh. And Neal Schon. You want me to go on?
