A Dynacomp into a Tube Screamer is my go-to for Another Brick-esque tones. And boosting a Big Muff with one is one of the best things you can do for your Big Muff.
So nice to see the Tube Screamer here, Musty!! I know it´s a "How this sound" video but let´s keep in our mind that the TS is not ideal to be used as an overdrive, it really shows all the magic being a booster (clean, crunch, what ever....). For this purpouse, I would choose the Boss SD1 (maybe?)
This still just goes to show how versatile the TS is, whether or not it's the classic TS808 or the TS9 I can honestly see him experimenting with one of these and it still works really well
I remembered this after someone else mentioned it. but it was a ts10. I don't know if it was used at all or which songs he used it on, but I remember seeing a photo.
I agree with you, I never loved the Tubescreamer until I got a Wampler Moxie, seriously, Brian fixed everything I didn't like about TS pedals. Give it a try, I'm curious to hear what you think. BTW, best DG content channel on YT, Thanks! 😉
It is very commendable to be able to achieve a Gilmourian tone with the equipment available!!! In my humble (and unauthorized) opinion Tube Screamer has no low frequencies...it's a bass killer. And I hear that D. Gilmour's light overdrive tone has low frequencies. This is not a mistake, because from what I've heard, the TS was designed to push the front of an already hot tube amp and was not designed as a "transparent" overdrive.
The best Tube Screamer I have is a TS-808 DX. It has an embedded boost with a switch that allows a pre or post boost. Another switch gives you the choice between 9 and 18 volts. The boost has its own control level and you can turn it on and off at anytime with the foot switch. The rest of the pedal is the TS with its 3 controls. A lot of the limitations of a regular TS have disappeared with the TS808 DX. Over the years I've had all the TS range, the 808, TS9, TS10, Turbo Tube Screamer and the Super Tube Screamer. I sold them all except the TS10 I use as a clean boost.
I have always suspected he used the TS10 for Learning to Fly and for the solo on ABITW ii on DSOT. Maybe even as the boost w/Muff on Sorrow, again on DSOT.
Well, to be honest, Gilmour never used a tube screamer officially on anything, live or else. he did use boss sd-1 (which is a high gain tube screamer really) around mid 80's for a while but that was a very brief period. on dsot concerts and tour, he used a tc electronics line booster for overdrive tones. it's a very clear boost. if you listen to shine on or dogs of war or something like that, you'll hear that the signal is pretty clean. very low gain. also, about boosting big muff, this is a very big misconception, he almost always used big muffs alone. around 1977, in the flesh tour, SOMETIMES he might have used big muff with colorsound powerboost. around 1994 pulse tour, he used a tube driver in front of big muff for some harmonics, and around mid 2000's he used a tube driver after big muff to smooth out the top end. soo, you don't need to use booster with big muff if you don't need it and certainly don't use an extreme mid boosted tube screamer type muddy pedal with big muff.
@mustyguitar hi Mustafa! If I recall correctly, Gilmour used the TS10 in 1989. This is especially obvious on the video for the July 1989 performance in Venice. Your tone on the video above is actually extremely accurate to that concert.
@@giloro85 oh, oh, oh, you're right, I remember it now. ts10 is what he used, that's correct. I knew it but didn't know it was around 1989 though. thank you for making me remember it.
hey I am considering buying the david gilmour emg pickups, Should I buy a pre-wired pickguard even though i do not like the colour of the pickguard itself. Do you know if you can change the pickguard and leave the electronics in place. How did you swap to emg's. I would love to have your advice. I absolutely love your video's and learned so much from you. I would subscribe to your patreon but i do not have a credit card so i can't
I'm very fortunate to have a Floyd tribute that's had a fair amount of success from the start. I've gotten to try a number of pedals on the search for my ideal tone. I haven't used the TS808 in a few years, but it was on my board for a while. I generally prefer a Colorsound Power Boost, but for this year I'm back to the 5-knob BK Butler.
@@WeirdErnie cus I actually have the Bk butler. The 5 knob you are speaking of and I’m not over impressed with it. I got a late 70’s early 80’s wood cutter that I like better so far. Then the damn thing is so massive with the plug as well. Maybe I’m using it wrong ?
@@bigtsshackfestival9563 PolyTune3 > Boss CS-3 > BK Butler > MXR Talk Box > Electro Harmonix Triangle Big Muff reissue > MXR Phase 90 Script > Mooer E-Lady > Dunlop volume pedal > Strymon Volante. I have a Vox wah to add to the front when we do Echoes and I have the Thorpy Scarlet Tunic for when we do Syd stuff. I have the Strymon Lex for rotary speaker, but I've never been completely satisfied with it and I'm looking at other options.
@@bigtsshackfestival9563 I actually have the 4-knob BK and the 5-knob. I wasn't sold on them either. It always seemed either too thin-sounding or like you had to have the gain up so much that it couldn't clean up very well with the guitar's volume knob. I've always preferred the Colorsound. Maybe it's the difference in amps I'm using now or how I'm dialing them in. It's definitely more a later Gilmour sound than a 70's sound, but for right now I'm very happy with my tone. My strat is a custom Warmoth build with 69s in the neck and middle and the SSL-5 in the bridge.
@@WeirdErnie nice. Sounds like u have a massive board lol. I got a pretty big one myself lol. Got the waza Tu3 > Pete Cornish Oc1 > waza sd1 > woodcutter rat > ten years decade > xts modded Ge7 > dd 8 > Keely modded Tr2 > Topanga spring verb into a deluxe reverb or a Princeton usually. I’ve been trying the Butler and it’s just not doing it for me. Prob sell it on reverb.
honestly man something about your tone always seems a little bit tiny, I think it's either the amp speaker or microphone, maybe you should consider doing a video on those what mic are you using to record the guitar? I think it's the microphone cause here is andertons demo of the laney cub and it sounds a lot less harsh and has more bottom end th-cam.com/video/Ms0AYwEeYcg/w-d-xo.html
I understand what you mean man. But you have no idea how low volume I play. my volume doesn’t even leave the room, let alone the floor. That’s why I don’t like pedals like tube screamer because it kills the low end even more. And the other thing is, I have no post production whatsoever. Just get the audio from DAW and upload it to TH-cam. I’m not a professional sound guy, I’d love to get better recordings obviously
@@mustyguitar ah that's probably it, do you have an effects loop? if so you can put a volume pedal in it and turn the output volume down, so at least you can get the preamnp tubes slightly hot, thats what i do
Nope! Td-y v-2 is goated for tube driver tones. Trust me in this, if you flip the switch all the way up, it is pretty much the 9/11 bkb reissue that gilmour uses as his main overdrive with some added sharpness and slightly more breakup.
@@gertjeeeh no, but i have done plenty of side by sides of the sound i got with v-2 mode of the td-y vs gilmours tone and it sounded almost exact. i really think that v-2 is the bkb tube driver. if not its insanely close. i use v-2 mode for almost every modern gilmour overdrive tone. v-1 sounds cleaner and warmer to me which sounds closer to the chandler/butler tube driver that gilmour currently uses as his touring boost pedal and he used as his main overdrive on the pulse tour.

So a friendly suggestion: maybe another great video showing the TS as a booster for Rat/Big Muff´s stuff?
yeah sd-1 is better because at least it has a lot more gain on it. and boss is boss!
You always get tones my man. Great playing. I’m a power booster man myself. Even over the tube driver. That raw cutting tone is my favorite
yeah same here!
I would still take Bd-2 any day just because how versatile it is
I'm with you.
Sounds like John Mayer playing Gilmour
Hahaha
This still just goes to show how versatile the TS is, whether or not it's the classic TS808 or the TS9 I can honestly see him experimenting with one of these and it still works really well
Thanks for this video!! ;-)
He had a tube screamer in his rig during the momentary lapse tour. Feel like a lot of people miss that because it was never seen again after that
I remembered this after someone else mentioned it. but it was a ts10. I don't know if it was used at all or which songs he used it on, but I remember seeing a photo.

Absolutely you can. That's what I did.
Yes, you can, the EMG’s are brilliant for late 80’s-90’s tones! Not sure why EMG did that pickguard, but, easy to swap out for a 1ply white pickguard!

The thing is that you already heard the tone when you heard the songs and going to be chasing it forever.
Too errr… smooth. Little attack.
Tube screamer sounds like a transistor radio to me. It is great pushing a muff but I bad choice for Gilmour-esque OD in my opinion.
You should really try the Catlinbread Echorec
I hope Catalinbread thinks the same someday
@@mustyguitar I’d love to see a review on either that or the Boss Digital Delay DD-8. Both are brilliant pedal. Your pedal reviews are amazing!

Too bright and harsh, IMHO. The highs are ear piercing.
