Since I used the BOSS ME-80 on my Classic Patches Medley video, I’m going to go through how I would create this tone on it, but essentially the process would be same on any of the BOSS multi effects units.Ĭontributed by Josh Munday – Tone Designer On the original recording, he played a Les Paul Gold Top (with P-90 pickups) direct into the mixing desk and then gated and compressed the signal, before running it back out again and into a Mesa Boogie Mark I Amplifier which was mic’d up and recorded…phew. If you Google a very specific search term like ‘Another Brick in the Wall Part II guitar tone’ you still get more than 16 million entries! There are some strange and crazy theories out there, but fortunately for us Dave Gilmour has done some video interviews describing the sound behind one of the most iconic guitar solos of all time.
