Notes
Live rehearsal for Division Bell tour, 1994. Rig matches tour setup, not earlier studio or Knebworth rigs. Alembic F2-B preamp used as master preamp, Hiwatt preamps bypassed. Pedals and effects as per 1994 tour board. No Mesa/Boogie or Ram's Head Muff in this era.
Tone Character(9)
edge-of-breakup clean with light overdrivemid-forward, punchy attacksmooth, compressed sustainslightly fuzzy, rounded note edgesclear and articulatewarm but present top endtight, controlled low enddynamic, touch-sensitive responsemodest amp gain, most drive from pedals
Difficulty
The riff requires tight rhythmic playing, dynamic control to keep the edge-of-breakup tone clean, and careful pedal use for the right gain layering, but does not involve advanced lead techniques.
