  • I have a Gilmour setting with a couple of snapshots on my Stomp. I'm omw to work rn and I don't have my laptop so this is just to the best of my recollection. I use the WhoWhat, of course, and I add an extra cab to make it sound more full. I don't know if it makes a difference but I tweak the settings to get the tone of an amp pushed at full volume with one recorded close and the other at a distance for an "in the room" sound. For effects always use a boost because the Hiwatt was built to be clean sounding relative to a Marshall and needs a little push to go into overdrive. My snapshots use a fuzz face for early album tones and a rams head or triangle muff for DSotM or later. I use the Ubiquitous Vibe before the amp mostly pretty subtle and barely there but always on. After the amp I either have a plate or hall reverb depending on what I'm trying to emulate. I really like the Live at Pompeii video so it's usually the hall reverb set pretty low. For some of the tracks on the albums I use a tape delay. From there I switch it up whenever DSP causes limitations. I use a pretty drastic high cut, around 8k to emulate the warmth of tape recording. 8k for DSotM or earlier. A little higher for everything later with the exception of Animals, which I push low enough that it sounds small and distant because the original mix for that record was pretty bad. I also use a compressor or limiter to make it sound less dynamic. For the clean sounds in ABitW pt II and Run like Hell I use a compressor to make the sound very "on top" of the mix.

  • Heya Andy great video again.I would have preferred it if you showed how to get the sounds using the stomp itself.Thought that was really good with the Nirvana smells like teen spirit.Would have liked to see soundgarden's black hole sun guitar sound being created within line 6 helix:)All the best
