In this section there are RIGs created by me to recreate the sound of some Pink Floyd Songs.
Each RIG have often hours of story behind… Each RIG is build with a specific sound in mind and it never ends up to just an amp profile. Moreover I create each RIG starting from scratch each time to both have different alternatives to play with and try to build every unique sound!
That’s also why for each one I write down some explanation notes. If you are interested you can read it and ‘stole’ some cool ideas to use for yourself in building rigs…
For recreating Gilmour sound there are plenty of school, method, advices on the net and it’s a continuous challenge for each fan. I studied all of them and tried many, now my method is mainly based upon ears, experience and a continous A/B check with the original song, rather than search for that exact pedal/settings used by David, simply because I don’t have all his pedals/settings/amps/consolle/rack/mixing desk and so on … his chain it is for me just a guideline, for the rest I spend more time trying as much as possible to recreate that exact sound starting from what I find the closest one to start with!
For almost each song in which you could be interested you can find:
1) an audio example (played by me) using the exact sound of the RIG on sale, so that you can judge by yourself if you like it or not;
2) the exact explanation of the gear used to get that sound and a detailed explanation of the RIG including Settings for Pedals (Volume/Wha/Pitch/Morph) and Remote Switch for dedicated song parts (note that the same notes are also stored in each RIG in the Comments Tags);
3) finally you will have the possibility to buy those RIGs together with an additional PERFORMANCE Ready to Go LIVE with all the settings.
To buy RIGs just click on the “Add to Cart” Button for all the items you need, once finished check the Cart (be careful there will be no duplicates) and use PayPal or any Credit Card to end the payment transaction. No need to subscribe or create any account.
Once finished you will receive an email to download all the RIGs and PERFORMANCEs (and, if possible, some additional files… backing, music sheets etc…). You can try at the beginning for just one rig to see how it works and if you have any doubt/problem contact me @ maurizio.giovanardi@gmail.com.

RIGs INSTRUCTIONs (Breathe In The Air) (UPDATED 2020-05-03)
Gear Used: Stratocaster Vintage ’57 Bridge Pickup both for Arpeggio and Slide Parts (use also any Stratocaster on the Bridge Pickup); if you can use a real Slide Guitar for sure it sounds still better; Ibanez 1.0_Pick for Arpeggio and Finger Pick for Slide with Glass Slide; 128 BPM.
This sound is one of the cases that when I listen to my recording I have the doubt to listen to the real original recording … let’s try, I believe you can never stop to play in ‘loop’ this unique arpeggio!
There are 2 RIGs and 1 PERFORMANCE for Pink Floyd – Breathe In The Air SOUNDs from The Dark Side Of The Moon; You can use these RIGs to Play with only 1 Guitarist or in parallel with 2 Guitarist (panning Left and Right for some sections as you wish):
1) RIG “#PinFl Breath Arp F1#g1” for Guitar Clean Arpeggio Sound for (slightly panned like in the original recording); Pedal Volume is UP in the Intro and go DOWN during Voice Verses;
2) RIG “#PinFl Breath Slid F1T7/#i0” for the Slide Part (a little bit panned like in the original recording); Pedal Volume is used for Volume Swell; Use during song the Pedal Morph that at his Full position raise the Del/Rev and decrease Volume, good for Voice Parts; Use Glass Slide, warmer and better than Metal Slide for this type of song!
In the download FILEs there are also various material including Backing Tracks and Music Sheets, TABs and Chords.
