David Gilmour Rig Diagram

[mrkmas]

I cant seem to find a gilmour rig diagram that I was trying to find. It was a huge layout and was in all black and white. Can anyone help me out?

His rig has changed a lot over the years and is in a liquid state at all times.

and this person had a complete lay out of several of his rigs on his forum at one time ...

According to that, he uses the ce-2 chorus infront of the amp?

 

[stephen sawall]

That is the only place I ever use a ce-2. Also notice he does not use effects loops or amps that have them.

Gilmour is a huge influence to me so I am always interested with what and how he uses gear. I know he used TC 2290's in the past. Can you use them with a guitar level signal or must you use them with an effects loop?

Yep, that'd be right.

Why does that seem strange?

Best to run the 2290 in a W/D rig, driven by a line level signal and to a power amp.

You will find very few artists that mess with an FX loop live.

Yep!!!



I hate effects loops. Never had any luck with them, no matter the amp. Plus I think it is useless to run a stereo effect in a mono effects loop, like a chorus or stereo delay.

Either you run the effects in front of the amp, or as you said take a line level signal via a load box from the amp's speaker output to drive the effects ("post"-amp), and then re-amplify the signal/s with a stereo poweramp, or just do BOTH!

Unless you have two power amps...hello.

I guess I never realized how many people don't like/use effects loops

1. Yes, the 2290 has guitar level and line level inputs.

2. The dry tone is awesome on the 2290. NO need for a W/D setup. Total overkill IMO.


Seriously, a preamp-->2290-->power amp = all the tone you'll ever need.
