Silicon Fuzz Face Sustain — Clock Solo
The solo's bright, aggressive sustain comes from Gilmour's Strat and silicon Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face feeding a very loud clean amplifier. Accounts differ between a Hiwatt and a Fender Twin, so this version follows the engineer-supported Twin account; the numerical controls are approximated from the documented rig and Gilmourish guidance.

Notes
Run the amp clean and loud in character, allowing the Fuzz Face to provide the saturation. Control noise and harshness with picking dynamics rather than reducing the fuzz drastically.
