David Gilmour's Distortion Effects Pedals

Used on his solo album About Face and Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

In a 1984 issue of Guitar Player Magazine, Gilmour said the following of his sound: "At the moment, the sound that I'm using a lot of the time is going through a Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal to a Boogie amplifier to a [MXR] DDL and then on into a regular Fender amplifier....I use a DDL on it...because I find it stops the fuzz box from from sounding like a fuzz box. It smoothes off the unpleasant, raw frequencies that you get from the fuzz box. Then you get a nice sort of sound.”
