Pink Floyd Echoes Guitar Cover - Part 1

Gilmour Tone Building
Instrumental cover of the song Echoes, from Pink Floyd's 1971 album, Meddle. Demonstrating various fuzz and overdrive effects to recreate some of David Gilmour's fantastic guitar tones from the studio recording and Pink Floyd live recordings, such as the Live at Pompeii and 1971 BBC performances. I use specific fuzz pedals for specific parts of the song in this video, but any of those individual fuzz pedals can be used for the whole song. The primary delay used was a Free the Tone Future Factory. A Free the Tone Ambi Space was used for some light plate reverb. Settings for both are shown in the video. A Catalibread Echorec was also used for delay in the second solo.

0:00 Violin Slide effect with Dunlop JHF1 Fuzz Face. Bridge pickup
0:35 First Solo (album) with Colorsound Overdriver. Pickup position 4
1:21 Slide Solo (BBC 1971 style) with BK Butler Tube Driver. Neck pickup. Standard tuning
2:52 Second Solo (Pompeii style) with Skreddy Lunar Module. Bridge Pickup
5:20 Funky Solo (mix of album and live versions) with Phil Robinson BC108 Silicon Fuzz. Middle pickup
6:14 Rhythm Guitar behind funky solo with Analogman BC108 SunFace. Bridge pickup

Mics used on the Hi-Tone speaker cab and Bassman are Sure SM57 and Sennheiser e906. The 59 Bassman was used for the first guitar solo played on the white Strat. The Hiwatt was used for everything else.

Here is a clip without the backing track to hear the guitar tones more clearly.

Get up the camera you ain't fooling me David

After 50 years there are still musicians who play PINK FLOYD music why? Very few play other great musicians I think because their music is unique like Beethoven or Mozart. You always discover something new or special.❤

Great job. For me Echoes Guitar Solo is the best of all times.

[joaopedrorey]

You need to do this with Shine on… it’s like a favor for the humanity.

[santistratomaster]

This is truly the best performance i've seen about this song since the actual pink floyd.

[kevingreer]

I’m blown away. Today is the first time seeing this, and definitely won’t be the last.

[pgab]

Great job, I wouldn't be surprised seeing a comment from David Gilmour saying that there are guitar players that remember those parts better than him.

[gustavomontesarrieta]

Loved this. You killed it. 5:20 onwards are my fave riffs. Gilmour is amazing.

[eddiecriglington]

Fabulous.
My Favourite Floyd track. I bought Meddle when it was released, in 1971, I was 15.
I still have my original Vinyl Album.

Amazing! Me and my dog, too, enjoyed this extraordinary performance... although he prefers "Dogs". Joking. He loves PF as he feels that I do. Since 1975. Thank you. Sincerely, Peter.
