pink floyd - breathe

[AndyVengeance]

what effects do you think were used to get that milky like clean tone in pink floyd breathe? it's been bothering me.

[tubetonez]

A Univibe, which I don't have, and a tape delay. A phase shifter does ok along with some delay & chorus.

[AndyVengeance]

cool. how much for a decent one?

[tubetonez]

Decent for the money would be the Voodoo Labs Microvibe, the best would be the FoxRox Aquavibe IMO.

chicken salad with the trimpot tweaked will pretty much nail it.

what does the trim pot change? i just got one in a trade and the depth knob is kind of bothering me..

[SharkMinusBear]

I play it with my psilocybe phaser, analog delay, and middle tele position. It sounds fantastic... but then again I don't even have room for a vibe so I stick with phaser for that stuff.

I believe the trimpot changes the brightness of the throbbing LED, which makes the effect more pronounced.

You'll also need a Strat and a clean Fender or Hiwatt amp to really nail it. David Gilmour apparently recorded at very high volumes too, but a *very* small amount of overdrive should simulate the effect that had on his amp tone.

I still think that sounds more like a rotating speaker than a Univibe. I plugged into a Leslie at a music store once and that was the tone exactly. Univibe's close though.

[chisa]

i can get it with a strat on the mid and bridge pups, phase 90, bit of reverb.

[AndyVengeance]

what kind of settings are you guys using for a univibe or a phase 90?

sounds nothing like a leslie to me. And for the record it wasn't a leslie.

Neat clip - never saw that before. I have two comments on it -
1- He doesn't sound warmed up.. he's having trouble fretting that A chord. Holy crap, Gilmour is human!
2- His univibe sound is pretty weak compared to the record.

[RoboPimp]

and he does have a leslie in the background but that still sounds nothing like any leslie I've heard.

[jrowan]

He uses a leslie or other rotating speaker on a couple of tracks. 'Breathe' is almost certainly a Univibe.

 

On the Roger Waters DSOTM tour, Dave Kilminster, who was handling most of the Gimourish type sounds was using either a phase 90 or that Boss rotary emulator and he sounded damn good with that tone. (I'm basing this off of board pics that he posted on his web site, so take this with a grain of salt. For all I know he added some pedals to cop sounds better.)

 

 

Someone posted a clip of a bunch of Floyd stuff with the chicken salad awhile back. It sounded really good. I'll try and track it down.

Snowy White was also using the BOSS Rotary Emulator pedal:)

[Rocket Roll]

I'm a great fan of gilmourish.com, but that's not the whole story. "Breathe" could be very well be EMS Hi-Fli synth.

 

 

 

Hi-Fli was used on DSOTM recording sessions, no doubt about that. Where was it used? Amongst other things, to emulate Leslie sounds. How do we know? David used it on following tours, for the songs that needed Leslie sound.

 

(Take this cum grano salis, it's a common story but by no means an undisputed truth.)

i can nail it with my strat and micro vibe

[starsailor803]

My Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe nails it.
