I would just like to be able to think the way this man does.

I was working at the Sound Factory in Sacramento, CA back in the summer of 1968 or 1969 [yes it is a haze]. Pink Floyd was on stage. I could not believe the effects Water's made with just the P.A. and his voice. The over all band was outstanding, and while I had never really heard of them till the point I went out later and bought the Ummagumma album when it came out.

Wow, this thread just brought back a buried memory. :roll:

I think he uses one of these http://www.bossarea.com/loadpage.asp?file=boxes/fz-2.xml. I like mine for some things. They kind of look like the other one.

would you be referring to the 3 on the right? I'm looking at the 3rd from the left, next to the 2 orange ones... except it looks like it has orange knobs, which the MZ doesn't :?

:lol:

His vibrato technique, note selection, and timely use of silence.... That is the real signature sound.

In the 80s Boss made an HM-2 (Heavy Metal) pedal which that appears to be. :wink:
It was suppose to reproduce the sounds of the Marshalls.


All the Best,

ahh, good eye/info!

 

[stephen sawall]

Yes I agree it looks like a HM2, but I think he also has used FZ2 for a bit.
Lets face it .... he has used just about every pedal at one time or an other it seems. :mrgreen:

I was just confirming what that pedal appears to be. I remember the HM-2 very well. Yeah, he might of used the FZ2 but that's been the gray colored pedal as long as I can remember. Of course his inventory of effects has been quite long.

All the Best,
~Nep~

I thought the HM-2 was a great pedal. I was an FX box aficionado back then. I used an HM-2 for about five years. It replaced an EH Hot Tubes. I eventually replaced the HM-2 with one of the original sans-amp pedals which were similar in tone but with a greater range.

I once used that HM-2 plugged straight into a board to track a radio ad. It was an amp modeler before there was any such thing.

OMG - these old Boss pedals are bringing back memories. I had one of these in my first rack http://www.bossarea.com/other/ce300.asp

 

[Rob227]

Is it just me or does that rig look like something out of an old Star trek episode? Lol. Gilmour has some magic in that combination of gear though, I wish I could get close to his tone.

Something I came across when examining info on his gear is that (found this on the internet so no confirmation of it's accuracy) the univibe rack was custom made from a univibe pedal that was stripped down and rebuilt into a rack right down to the univibe sticker. Univibe rack units were never made.

I have followed this site for some time; Gilmore is one of my all time favorites.

The above link will show better pics with numbered refences describing each pedal.

I believe this guy may have a friend on the inside but I'm not sure.

He has great info.

Enjoy!
