Thanks so much for paying attention to that Mad Mac, people always seem to ignore this fact, even though anyone with some studio experience can back this up. A produced guitar tone can be very different than the original guitar rig's tone. Cheers! //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses well, it used to be more authentic back then I think. But still a studio sound, of course... Coole Videos, macht Spaß euch zuzusehen/-hören 😉
My favourite guitarist of all time. Saw Roger Waters live once, he played the entire Dark Side of the moon, the guitar player in his band was amazing, a really good musician...but wasn't David. Dont' know why or how, but Gilmour you can recognize him the second he plays a note.
I saw Pink Floyd in concert twice. There was no mistaking who was playing guitar. I listen to Waters live stuff and go, "That sounds like Pink Floyd but the guitar is wrong. Oh, because it isn't Gilmore." Waters was a brilliant song writer but I don't think PF would have been as great with someone else on guitar.
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses /G please reply with correct spelling of your name so I don’t feel like an uneducated PhileStine when I write names in comments ( I am a philestine but shhh do t tell anyone)
Kris totally nail it this time, what a sound. Definitely this series with Guillaume is going to increase the views of this channel! Kudos to both of them and to Thomann. PS nice socks haha
Thanks for the show! Useful info to try those legendary Gilmour sounds. I tried both examples some years ago with Amplitube and DAW using my strat and PRS. I tried to find the balance between gain/overdrive/distortion and mid range clarity and the amount of reverb. Oh, it was time consuming. Not only effects but also post/mixing production affect on the sound, not to mention phrasing, bending tech, picking etc. the guitar itself. I learned that there is only one David Gilmour.
Love to see videos with more expensive gear. There's a million videos with affordable gear but you guys have access to gear not available to a lot of people(including me) and it's just nice to hear that gear demoed some times.
Kris, You guys hit it perfectly with this show. Pink Floyd is all time favorite and David Gilmore is my inspiration of any guitarist with comfortably numb my jam. As always Kris your playing was incredible and I loved the gold top. Really want my job at Thomann now. I can play with the both of you..lol..Kris you put your Tele to sleep on this show. .👍
How did I miss this?! I have been in the process of building a Gilmour strat for a while now. I have most of it ready to go now and grabbed RadioShop's The Black Strat set to complete things with the mod. He is without a doubt my all time favorite guitar player. His phrasing is unmatched.
I’m obsessed with Comfortably Numb and the closest I’ve gotten has been a strat with CS69 pickups > tc electronic cinders > proco rat > stereo electric mistress (little chorus only, no flanger) > MXR carbon copy > JTM45 with 2 greenbacks. Some reverb added in garage band
Putting vibrato on that first bend of Comfortably Numb like what Gilmour does every time makes it sound so much better than holding it there like your doing.
My version of the Comfortably Numb lead sound is Strat > Dynacomp > Muff > Tube driver > stereo split > CE2 on left only > TC Nova delay > Hiwatt Custom 20 (R) & Hot Rod Deluxe (L) 👍
he actually had coloursound power boost after his ram's head. He basically used the boost as eq and to add the mid-range to muff' sound. You can get similar results but then again it's very diff for diff types of pedals and amps. In my case, a Blackstar with ISF panned to the British side and big muff into a tube screamer does the job. It's not perfect but it somewhat gets to that ballpark. You can make many different setups work tbh but you just have to understand the dynamics of the actual tone. Gilmour was a master obviously.
I agree that Comfortably Numb doesn't sound like a fuzz. I think the volume he played at and the articulation added by the chorus/Leslie helped. You guys sounded very close!
I think you both sounded very close. But not exactly because of the gear sounded like David, but more like you felt good with that sound and it helped you to play it with similar feel and phrasing.
Have you tried to take a piece of the original recordings, where only the guitar is in, build an impulse response with the differences of your sound to the original one and apply this IR at the end? I have done some experiments with this technic and it seems not to be bad. But i would be interested on your results
Yes studio tricks make it difficult to match the tone, but unlike the "we're not touring anymore" Beatles, Floyd did tour around and their live tone might be a good starting point to look at.
I guess the reason why the Marshall SV20 couldn’t quite deliver the super midsy sound with the ramshead is because the EQ is just way less powerfull the one of the Hiwatt. I happen to have one, as you know Kris, and the EQ can shape the sound very intensely. Probably also the thing with the post production is very true though.
Ok.. I just tried to recreate it really quickly with the ramshead in the helix (sustain almost at 0) and the Hiwatt normal channel. I can get it in the ballpark when I crank the mids and lower the treble on the Hiwatt a bit. What I found a lot more important is the choice of the speaker though! With greenback, v30 and such it is just too bright and not midsy enough. I don’t have the possibility to test the fanes that are used in Hiwatt cabs but the Lead 80 by celestion made anpretty great job bringing me a lot closer to the original recording. However, you guys did an awesome job recreating the sound, regardless what gear you used. I guess it’s a lot easier to do when the actual gear that was used is at hand, which makes your achievement even more noteworthy. Well done!
Sorry the Comfortably Numb stuff was not very close at all if you ask me. Just my ear maybe or the notes played were so far off. Just not right. The Dark Side effect is all you need and a good amp.
Here's a different flow (using some hardware and plugins) for getting the sound of Another Brick in the Wall solo: th-cam.com/video/SLdz_hgvqPQ/w-d-xo.html
“What were listening to is a produced sound...” THIS is a point almost every other conversation on guitar ‘tone’ on TH-cam misses. Well done

THIS is called HH vs single coil. Body type has nothing to do with electric guitar tones.

Just like Knopfler. Just incomparable

Once that started
Made my day guys
Smiles beat arthritis every time !

Thank you !!
Thank you so very much Paul, glad you enjoyed it!!🤗//G

Can you guys put the DB meter where we can see how freaking loud you’re playing.
You both did a really good job, but like you said the studio magic just is different ,

March 6 - Happy Birthday to David - and great tones here mates!

This was really just fantastic, that is really what I think by the way which guill is Pink??

Liked the tones, Really cool video
Gilmour is really special... always at the 1st in my list

Nice sounds! Both guitars.
I'm sorry. But the Comfortably Numb tone wasn't close.

Sounded really good :)

I find the sound of the guitar also changes slightly when added to the mix, awesome vid…. 👍👍🇨🇦
That goldtop is the same tone to my ears as Gilmours. The strat though sorry, its a bit off. But beautiful video and highly enjoyed.
Hi,the fender vibro champ 5w amp...is good for playing pink floyd ??please
"Which one's Pink?" -- Guillaume's Strat 'natch
I sold my Keeley Darkside after trying it. Very disappointed in it. Probably user error. 😂 So difficult trying to get his sound. Crazy.
3:28 It was an LA2A Optical Limiter
Noiz tone Guillaume, really nice playing too
Thanks Szymon! :) //G
Day 4 can you hit the tone with randy Rhoads?
101 dB without earplugs? You are both dangerous! 🤟
Hahahaha yeah... probably not our best habit but come on it sounded so good 😂 //G
a review of Jeff Beck's tone can be expected in the near future?
uhhh what a sweet idea! When is his birthday again? :D Would you wanna see that video? //Kris
@@ThomannsGuitarsBasses on Jeff Beck's birthday, consider his sound, his popular compositions and his playing technique ... that's a great idea!
Sorry the Comfortably Numb stuff was not very close at all if you ask me. Just my ear maybe or the notes played were so far off. Just not right. The Dark Side effect is all you need and a good amp.
Play it, Stratman...Gilmore drive!!
Great tone, great socks
Also das Outro klang sehr authentisch.
Fand ich auch, erstaunlich, wie gut sowas klingen kann (Line Klang + Gitarrenamp). Danke dir! //Kris
No affinity link for Kris' socks?
ahh damn, you guys really wanna see that happening, don't you? haha! I think I'll have to do something about it. Cheers! //Kris
The les Paul was a good attempt, the strat was way off tbh.
Here's a different flow (using some hardware and plugins) for getting the sound of Another Brick in the Wall solo: th-cam.com/video/SLdz_hgvqPQ/w-d-xo.html
As a bassist and a punk, I find it REALLY hard to respect Gilmour as a person, but man he's got such an inspirational tone and playstyle
What for? We all got our reasons for thinking things... Just curious why as a person he's bad?
Why does kris always win , sorry to the other guy lol jk . Awesome video guys
Yeah yeah, you guys are wonderful, but you're not comedians; quit horsing around and do what you do best
First?
Nice try guys, not very successful but ok
What the hell are you talking about they did great
@@lukeabrahamsen-collins808 if you like it... good for you!
@@lukeabrahamsen-collins808, nope, not at all, certainly comfortably numb was just comfortably wrong!
