Notes & Caveats
- No direct rig rundown or pedalboard photo for The Machine's 5.25.25 performance found; gear and settings estimated based on typical Gilmour live rigs and cover band practices.
- Rotary speaker/Leslie effect is clearly audible in the riff section and confirmed by forum discussion, but exact pedal model used by The Machine is not specified.
- Amp model and settings are inferred from standard Pink Floyd cover band setups and Gilmour's Animals-era live rig.
- Pickup choice is inferred from Gilmour's live approach and typical cover band practice for this song.
- Pedal settings and signal chain order are estimated based on Gilmour's Animals-era rig and common cover band adaptations.
- Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. The Machine closely emulates Gilmour's mid-70s tone: edge-of-breakup/crunch with strong mids, full bass, and clear but not harsh treble. Presence is slightly boosted for clarity, and reverb is subtle, matching the live ambience but not overwhelming the dry, articulate riff tone.
