Is there somewhere on the internet where I can find a list of his pedals?

What is the need for 3 different delays and 2 different compressors?

Note: On the "Pulse" tour, in-particular the "Comfortably Numb" video, there is a point which the camera is overhead and it shows Gilmour from behind along with his pedal board. The board seemed to be about 12 pedals wide and 4 pedals deep. Thats 48 pedals, is that even possible?lol

Donno Mate, I just copied it out the book ! It does seem like a lot of work when he could just dial up the "DaveG" patch on a GNX2 :D

I guess these are the liberties you can take when you have 10 000 roadies...not that Im jealous !

Have you hear Gilmour's tone? I think that answers that question, at least for me!

Note: On the "Pulse" tour, in-particular the "Comfortably Numb" video, there is a point which the camera is overhead and it shows Gilmour from behind along with his pedal board. The board seemed to be about 12 pedals wide and 4 pedals deep. Thats 48 pedals, is that even possible?lol


That footpedal setup what he uses to trigger various effects in his rack, also to control miscellaneous other events. I believe that it's MIDI.
... and that's all I have to say about that.
