06 WISH YOU WERE HERE PINK FLOYD (1975)

DShineon Youcrazydiamond has some of the most imitated feel and tone in history. Gilmour pays tribute to blues pioneers, particularly BB King, with his controlled feel and sublime behind-the-beat timing. The Black Strat was still largely stock in 1975, and throughout this album his Colorsound Powerboost is featured – largely into his Hiwatt DR103. A silicon Fuzz Face lifts his slide parts, and an MXR Phase 90 appears for the first time. Back in the real world, you can get close to Gimour’s sustaining, cleanish tone with a compressor and a low-gain overdrive like a Boss Blues Driver.
