Selmer stereomaster is the key to get Barrett's signature sound. An amp head which Syd has used in the 60s and later on, when David Gilmour has joined the band he was also using it for a while. If you didn't knew, David Gilmour first had to try to replicate Barrett's unique playing style and sound. So you can watch Pink Floyd's perfomance on the french Bouton Rouge show. And you will notice the amp standing behind Gilmour with the stereomaster on top. On the proof video, on 3:08 you can see Syd playing with this amp head.
