Notes & Caveats
- No direct source confirms exact guitar, amp, or pedal models/settings for this specific solo; all gear and settings are inferred from Gilmour's typical studio setup and the audible tone.
- No explicit pedalboard or amp settings published for 'Between Two Points' solo; amp and pedal choices are based on Gilmour's established studio practices and the sonic character of the solo.
- No evidence of fuzz, heavy distortion, or wah in this solo; delay and reverb are clearly audible.
- Estimated amp settings based on classic Hiwatt/Strat Gilmour studio tones for expressive, edge-of-breakup leads.
- Pickup choice inferred from the warm, round, singing tone typical of Gilmour's neck or neck+middle Strat positions.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Gilmour's solo tone here is clean with a hint of breakup, warm and mid-forward, reflecting his Hiwatt/Fender amp preferences and typical bluesy articulation. The reverb is present but not overwhelming, and the EQ is balanced for clarity and warmth, matching his modern solo tones.
