Gilmour used a Hiwatt DR103 into WEM cabs. The Big Muff fuzz is essential for that sustained, singing lead tone. Add generous delay and hall reverb.

Notes
Let the notes breathe — vibrato is everything on this solo. Do not choke the sustain.
Don't have Helix?
See the same signal chain mapped to another platform. Knob values carry over as starting points — gain ranges differ between platforms. NAM/TONEX users: the real gear names are what to search for as captures.
