Newer board: [David Gilmour — PULSE / Division Bell rig (1994)](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/david-gilmour/pulse-division-bell-rig-1994/). ## Signal chain **Order evidence — Source-described.** A source states the sequence. | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Silicon Fuzz Face (BC109) | Provides the first of two selectable fuzz voices in the integrated board. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/fuzz-face/ | | 2 | Custom Fuzz P-1 (internal) | Offers the board's second, smoother and more sustaining fuzz voice. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/custom-fuzz-p-1-internal/ | | 3 | Phase 100 | Adds selectable four-stage phase movement after the fuzz circuits. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/phase-100/ | | 4 | Uni-Vibe (Original black floor unit) | Supplies the deeper pulsing modulation placed after the Phase 100. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/uni-vibe/ | | 5 | Power Boost | Raises and shapes the signal between the modulation section and the wah. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/power-boost/ | | 6 | Modified Cry Baby Wah | Filters the boosted signal before compression and can reverse its input and output. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cry-baby-wah/ | | 7 | Dyna Comp | Compresses the combined effect signal before the external gain and flanger loop. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/dyna-comp/ | | 8 | Ram's Head Big Muff | Supplies the principal high-sustain gain voice within the external loop of the Cornish board. | External board loop | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/ram-s-head-big-muff/ | | 9 | Electric Mistress | Provides the metallic modulation at the end of the documented core effects route. | External board loop | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/electric-mistress/ | | 10 | Custom Tone Pedal | Provides treadle-controlled high-frequency roll-off after the external effects loop. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/custom-tone-pedal/ | | 11 | Custom Volume Pedal | Controls the overall level before the delay send and final line driver. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/custom-volume-pedal/ | | 12 | Noise Gate / Line Driver | Controls accumulated noise and drives the board's three switchable amplifier outputs. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/noise-gate-line-driver/ | ## Reconstruction note The order follows Pete Cornish's published account and the detailed 1977 archive. Most circuits were mounted inside the board and switched through bypass loops; the Big Muff and Electric Mistress sat on top in the external send/return. The delay send sits between the volume pedal and final noise gate/line driver but is not drawn as a pedal. Tuner feed, master bypass and three amplifier-output switches are control routing and are omitted. ## Questions ### What pedals did David Gilmour use in 1977? This dated entry lists 12 units: Silicon Fuzz Face (BC109), Custom Fuzz P-1 (internal), Phase 100, Uni-Vibe, Power Boost, Modified Cry Baby Wah, Dyna Comp, Ram's Head Big Muff, Electric Mistress, Custom Tone Pedal, Custom Volume Pedal, Noise Gate / Line Driver. This is the recorded inventory, not a claim that every connection or model identification is confirmed; see the evidence and routing notes. ### What order were David Gilmour's pedals in? A cited source states the order. See the diagram and routing notes for the separate paths and any unconfirmed connections. ### Is this David Gilmour's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 12 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear David Gilmour owned or used. Floor pedals, rack units and routing devices are included only where recorded; omitted equipment and uncertain connections are explained in the notes. It is not a complete or current rig inventory. ### When and where was this pedalboard used? 1977. In the Flesh tour. This is one dated setup as documented, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? 3 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Gilmourish, Kit Rae, Pete Cornish. Among them an archive record and an official listing. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18. ## Sources 3 cited sources across 3 independent groups.
