Please keep in mind that although I’ve tried my best to cross check every detail with pictures and video footage there might be some some third hand information that can be wrong. I constantly update these pages and check for errors so please swing by once in a while.
By clicking on one of the album covers above, you’ll enter a section devoted to that album. The section is devided into four pages, - effects, guitars & amps, settings and source.
The effects page lists all the stompboxes, rack units and other effects used on the album and the following tour. Some albums also span over multiple tours like Wish You Were Here, which was performed on both the Dark Side and Animals tours. The guitars & amps page lists David’s complete rig on the studio sessions and the following tour. The settings page lists settings for each effect and effect and guitar setups for each song. Please keep in mind that these settings are based on David’s gear and they might not automatically transfer to your equipment. At last, the source page lists the different sources and acknowledgements of information.
Use the David Gilmour Gear Guide as a reference for your favourite album and for creating your own sounds. This is not a shopping list but hopefully the answer to your questions and inspiration for your tone.
