Haters are gonna hate bro. That tone from a 1 watt amp is almost unbelievable. You have the techniques down also. Those subtle whammy tricks and 1 1/2-2 step bends take some time.
I subbed to Musty's Patreon when he first started and I was looking to build out a PULSE-esque rig as it was (and still is) my all-time favorite sound. I can't recommend it enough. Mustafa is an absolute beast and really makes the whole (daunting) task of reverse engineering these sounds quite approachable. Even though I've since gone to a Fractal Axe FX III rig, his tutorials and tone guides are still insanely helpful (from effects ordering to gain stages, etc). One of the "A-ha!" moments I had with Musty's content was the importance of rotary sounds in ALL of Gilmours pulse songs, not just the obvious ones (like Any Colour). You can bet that I also have that punched in on my Fractal presets! Hat's off, Musty! Always a privilege when you drop a new video.
I actually prefer the Comfortably Numb solos from TDSOT over the PULSE version. The second PULSE solo sounds like he's "going through the motions" while on TDSOT he's really digging into it and those descending licks don't just go down because they do. They have more feeling... that raw attack with stops that make those notes stand out.
I'll give you a tip! The gilmour sounds more powerful because it doesn't let the entire signal pass through the chorus. It divides the signal where one amplifier receives the signal without chorus and another with chorus. But for those who don't have the means to have two amplifiers, I recommend using a Split pedal. And there you mix the raw signal with the chorus, which will give a feeling of greater strength in the sound. The mix of modulated sound and raw 50/50 sound is very interesting!
Another tip I learned from a great sound engineer. Change the Sm57 to the Shure Beta57, it's incredible how it is more compressed and makes the guitar sound more pleasant in the mix!
I explain this on the PULSE definitive guide video. That's why I'm using my chorus about half the level as you might have noticed. splitting signal and using stereo setup would be much better for sure, but I didn't know about shure beta57, I thought they all used sm57 throughout pulse tour.
@@mustyguitar The Beta57 was widely used in vocals and guitars in the 90s. It is more compressed so that it doesn't need to use as much gain, making it easier to use on stage with loud sounds. But this idea of a pedal that divides the Chorus signal into two gives a more controllable Chorus sensation! Where you can use more Deph and have it more controlled in the final signal.
After years of playing I think the background (other instruments) for the guitar is a big factor. Guitar playing alone sometimes sounds good but when rest of the band starts playing then it makes huge difference and you have to adjust your tone
Just letting everyone in the comments know, the reason the tone sounds different is because those raw sound came from a Pink Floyd bootleg, probably recorded with a cassette recorder. The tone is a half step down because of that. The bootleg is either from the TV broadcast or the BBC 1 radio broadcast.
DG's tone and playing on the Division Bell and accompanying tour were totally top shelf. A bit more refined than the Momentary Lapse tour (which was amazing) IMHO.
One thing I noticed is how compressed his tone gets, when I'm trying to recreate something similar, I just put a compressor at the end of my signal chain, right before my delays and reverbs.
How close you got while using the Blues Driver is great, considering Dave doesn't even own one 😂 Goes to show, how you dial it is just as/more important than matching the exact gear 👍
Yeah, good one ;) Glad to provide the idea for your video. These sound comparisons are gold. And since you asked - yes, please do the video about EQ. For example - that type of pedal is a must when you have an amp with scooped mids.
he gets them with shit ton of expensive gear just like everyone else. can we stop with this "finger and soul" nonsense already and move on with FACTS? I admit there's a mini little room for playing style and picking style, but honestly, would he get the same sound with a gibson guitar or vox amp? because I heard another brick part II solo like you and it's gibson and it sounds nothing like PULSE.
@@mustyguitar hahaha clam down its funny that you say its because of a shit ton of expressive gear like everyone else but nobody else sounds like him, no matter what gear you use your never gonna sound like him only just sound like everyone else trying to sound like him, another brick is never gonna sound like the album as we all know it was right into the desk and then processed, im not saying your videos are not good they are but again we will never sound like him as we are not him, but we can get a rough sim sound for live stuff with about 5 or 6 pedals a fuzz distortion/overdrive delay univibe an chorus phase 90 an compressor, i do really like your strat its lovely
There’s one thing I noticed immediately. When it’s mixed it sounds like the left side of the stereo has the delay set for 20 or so milliseconds. Whatever they did during the mixing made it sound more full bodied along with the mods. These tones are particularly dark you need a fuck load of bass to try these in your bedroom. Good luck
I saw Pulse live at Earls Court in 94. All I can say is the recorded version sounds different to when I was there, it’s more fatter and fuller on the recorded version.
Hey man, I wanna offer a few thoughts on the difference in EQ in the two recordings. As I understand, the "raw" sound is from a home tape recording. Now, with tapes there are a lot of variables. What deck it was recorded on, what tape, what bias (the mid and treble sounds a bit over saturated so it might be underbiased or recorded a little hot) and of course what deck was that tape played back on to be digitised and how old the recording is. And there's an audible speed difference as well. So I think you're totally right that the final recording was overproduced, but I don't think we can judge the original tone by this raw recording either.
the raw tones sound a lot better, they definitely need touching up and a little bit of eq here and there, but I feel like the final mix sounds too nasaly and too mid heavy, which is why I'm not a fan of pulse tones, I didn't realise how much was actually studio stuff lol
yeah I guess the 2018 version is a bit too much for even me. I liked the first album or dvd version the better, not these raw tones of course, but not 2018 mixed version either.
Sounds good dude. I've been thinking about something similar lately - just how Dark Eric Johnson's lead tone is in the live performance of Cliffs of Dover in Austin City Limits. It's interesting that Gilmour's tone is darker but louder in the post processed sound.
I think you get great tone. I often wonder -- especially when there is a critique of "thin" tone -- how many of those players know how to sit in a mix. I don't like to complain about "bedroom players" like so many do. If you're playing music, that's a good thing. But it's always good to play in public. It makes you a better musician when you play with other musicians. And you begin to learn why other guitarists make some of the choices that they do.
Musty, the next guitar you should get is one with P90s! It seems like they made the tone darker or something. I HATE when music companies/producers do this, it seems very fake. Same with Audience noise being manually turned down. Also, the EQ cutting thing you did sounds very accurate to what they did in the mix.
I would love to see your review of the new "Fender Tone Master Pro" guitar modeler. and what kind of Gilmour tones can you get out of her? please please!
Gilmours rig is also noisier in real life than on record. Alot of post prod cleans the sound up. Do I care? No. The musicality is there in the first place. This channel is invaluable as is Gilmourish, Kitrae too. Ultimately make your Gilmour tone with your ears, its all going to be slightly different. These guides get you into the ball park.
What was that? "I look like a dork in this haircut?" lol 🤣 . . too funny, looks fine . . now back to the great tones! 😀 BTW , the post-production tones sound like a bit of high-mids "presence" boost and a little not so subtle taming down in the highs. Both are great though IMHO
dude it's soo hot in Istanbul, I'm about to shave my whole head... yeah I'm not very experienced with mixing, post production and all that, I just share what I like hearing. By no means I claim I know these things the best
Iv e said since the 1980 wall show and later after the 2006 on an island show that he’s always re amped his tones. SO bright in 1980 for numb I thought he must’ve been on the wrong pick up or something was wrong with the eq. Thin and brittle. But hey. It doesn’t matter! I don’t care but his recorded tone always depended heavily on post playing manipulation. That’s why it’s sooooo fabulous. Always. So well done. ❤
You don't have to justify yourself to me Musty. I bought a Laney Cub 2 months ago, and the tones I get are the best I've ever had by quite a long way. And I play at TV volume. Better than my AXE FX, Kemper, Tonex. Leads that just sing. Beautiful. Thank you. In the world of guitars, you have become my best friend. 😊
You know what, and I am just as guilty as the next person for this, but as you have stated before a few times no one, and i mean no one is going to get the sounds down to an absolute T. It's just impossible as we know that a certain % of the sounds comes from the fingers and the pressure etc. But, the tones that you produce are 97-98% there - with that last few % being DG's fingers. How can someone not be happy with that? However I know that there is an itch to get a 100% match and that's a problem all of us DG imitating guitar players do most of the time when covering PF songs - particularly PULSE tones. Musty, you do a great job and I applaud your desire, research and guitar skills and really applaud your tone matching of the great man himself. On another note, have you ever tried recreating the PULSE tones for the Helix Floor? If so, are they available to download? If not, can you recommend where to find the closest sounding PULSE tones for the Helix Floor that for your ears are as close as you have heard? Thanks - top man, Musty!
I thought of a few ways to make fun here but that's not polite to a new customer. P90 is used for the studio recording. I'm trying to get PULSE version of the song, where he used EMG pickups. I'm pretty sure you didn't watch the whole video and don't know my channel that well. You should my good man! Check the channel out.
@@mustyguitar You got me. I have seen other videos now and love the, fantastic production and tone! I was trying to be annoying, though ;) A bit like under every Led Zeppelin related Les Paul video someone has to point out that Page used a Tele. Cheers!
imo opinion truely amazing tones and guidelines for David G tones. I would find interesting if you have experience with body wood choice (alder or ash in a strat body) for DG tones. I believe DG used mostly alder / maple in his strats. But I think ash as bodywood will also work fine. But in my opinion opinion there is a tonal difference. I'd describe alder as a tad more on the warmer side and ash a tad more on the side of being brittle but in a good way if that makes sense. But would love to hear you opinion if you have tested both and if you'd like to share :) Anyway - highly appreciate your work and expertise !!
thank you! I don't know how much of a difference a body wood do though. I don't even believe there's that much difference between maple or ash neck. yeah, people hate me for it :D No, there are obviously differences, but it's like %2-3 for me.
@@mustyguitar Being honest, maybe there is indeed a difference but it is imperceptible. I dont know the tonal differences of fretboard wood, but the feeling is different. I like maple more! There is a guy who made some videos about “Where does tone come from?” Its totally worth the watch!
@@1973asdf I watched it, he looks like Jesus :D extremely hard video to make and the guy is a legend for putting that up. hats off to him: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n02tImce3AE.html also I encourage everyone to watch his entire channel, not that much videos, but damn worth watching.
Of course sounds on a record are mixed..is that something no one has ever considered? Jesus with the stuff that happens on today's mixes that's minimal
Eh…..sounds like noise reduction and slight enhancements. On their own, you aren’t getting much more out of the tone. Use only noise reduction and you will enhance the quality of the sound.
do you think I should do everything free, for someone who comments disrespectfully like this? without promoting my countless hours of work, the best work there is on the web about the subject, the best work for YOU? best work, approved by hundreds of paying people? I get great results when I talk about these things because people don't know they can learn everything very easily. you are probably not my audience, don't be a stranger though.
