Time
The blistering solo on Time features one of the most aggressive tones in Gilmour's catalog. A Stratocaster through a Big Muff Pi into a cranked Hiwatt DR103 creates a thick, sustaining fuzz tone with singing upper harmonics. The Binson Echorec delay adds rhythmic repeats that fill the sonic space. Gilmour's precise bending and vibrato bring the notes to life over the massive sustain.
