Note: David is also seen trying out an Electro Harmonix Big Muff ’73 “ram’s head” and a Robert Keeley Fuzz Head at the Bray rehearsal studios in May.
Notes:
- This board was constructed by Pete Cornish prior to the On an Island tour in early 2006.
- All the pedals placed upside down so that David can see the knobs in the dark for easy access.
- The BK Tube Drivers was especially ordered from Butler Audio early 2006. They both have one Yugo 12AX7 tube each.
- The Boss GE-7 is modified by Pete Cornish to give a flatter response at “0″.
- The Pete Cornish T.E.S delay is based on a Boss DD-2.
- The Pete Cornish P-1 or Precision Fuzz is a straight clone of David’s old ‘73 “ram’s head” Big Muff included in the old Animals/Wall stage board.
- The Demeter Compulator is a compressor based on the tube rack compressors often used in recording studios. The sound is similar to a MXR Dynacomp, but much more dynamic. The unit has a gain control with a possible 30db volume drop, – this allows to adjust the volume to the other effects or turn it up to max 26dB for pickups with weak output.

“Sound on Sound” effect explained:
The Sound on Sound effect was something David introduced on the 2001/02 acoustic shows. He wanted to be able to play Shine On without using keyboards and developed this technique of sustaining a chord with delay and playing on top of it.
The Sound on Sound effect, isn’t an effect in form of a pedal but rather the effect achieved when splitting the signal in two with a long delay assigned to one channel. David strums a chord and makes a volume swell with the volume pedal assigned for the Sound on Sound channel. The signal travels to the Sound on Sound unit (basically a A/B router unit made by Pete Cornish) and into the Roland digital delay, which is set to 1500ms lasting about 20 seconds. The signal then travels into a Hiwatt and WEM cabinet used only for this effect. Gilmour lowers the volume pedal and plays a solo fed through the “normal” signal path, while the Sound on Sound pad is sustained by the long delay. The pattern is repeated for each chord.
