Notes & Caveats

⚠️No direct numeric amp settings found for the 2016 remix; settings estimated based on typical Hiwatt DR103 usage for Gilmour in this era and genre.
⚠️Pedal models are inferred from period-correct gear and audible effects; no explicit 2016 pedalboard photo or official rundown found.
⚠️Exact pickup selector position not visually confirmed for 2016 remix, but neck pickup is strongly supported by tone and historical usage.
⚠️Some sources reference general Gilmour gear, not specifically confirmed for this performance; only effects clearly audible or widely agreed upon are included.
⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Gilmour's 'Echoes' solo tone at Pompeii is edge-of-breakup to light crunch, with prominent mids and a warm, slightly dark character. He favors boosted mids and bass for sustain and body, moderate treble and presence for clarity without harshness, and moderate reverb for space, matching his Hiwatt/Big Muff/Delay setup and live production style.
