ECHOES OF POMPEII NOVEMBER 21 SERIES
TC Electronic’s Flashback series offer a wide range of delay pedals, tailored for different use and needs. This pedalboard friendly unit provides pretty much every type of delay and echo you need, packed with features, tap, storing and a handy display. The DD-200 is one of the latest offerings from Boss that easily stands up to most multi processors out there.
The later DD range, offer a wider range of features and sounds but tend to sound a bit brighter and perhaps a bit sterile. Now discontinued, this classic produce warm, almost analog sounding digital delay that blends nicely with all of your tones. The DD-2 is one of my all time favourite delay pedals. Whether you want a single pedal or one of the multi processors capable of replicating just about any delay or echo tone possible. However, digital multi delay processors are also capable of producing convincing analog and tape simulation. The term digital delay is often used to describe the modern sounding, pristine and accurate delay. I have played and tested each pedal in this guide, with guitars and amps that are typically associated with David Gilmour. Alternatively, modulation and delays can be placed in the amp’s effect loop to retain the headroom. Delay into an overdriven amp often sounds muddy and overwhelming but it’s a cool effect in its own right. A good tip is also to place delays after the volume pedal to allow the delay to sustain when you lower the volume.Ī clean amp has enough headroom to handle any effect, including delay, into the front end.
Delay on the pedalboardĭelay is typically placed last in the chain between modulation effects and the amp. Reverb is always used in one form or another on a studio recording to create room and space. He’s using delay and often several units to create different textures. Modern digital multi units will provide everything you need, including analog delay, tape simulation and pristine digital delay, while single specialised units will in many cases produce an even more accurate sound.ĭavid Gilmour never use reverb on stage.
What type of delay you should choose obviously depends on taste but for David Gilmour’s tones I recommend either analog delay or an echo unit for 1968-75 to replicate the Binson echo sounds and a digital delay from 1977 to present to be able to replicate the accurate delay patterns of songs like Another Brick in the Wall (part 1), Run Like Hell, Coming Back to Life etc. See the David Gilmour gear guide for a detailed setup for each album and tour. Throughout the 80s and 90s and to present, David has used several digital units and pedals to create both pristine digital sounds and for replicating his old Binson echo sounds. The Binson remained David’s main echo unit up until 1977 and Animals, when he replaced old technology with the more precise and reliable digital MXR rack unit.
