The units are evidenced; their sequence is the archive's inference from the convention below, not an observation. Do not report this order as documented. Reconstruction convention: Tuner → Wah and filter → Compressor → Overdrive, distortion and fuzz → Modulation → Delay → Reverb → Amplifier. A documented routing zone always overrides it. | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | CS-2 Compression Sustainer | One of three compressors carried, giving different degrees of sustain. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cs-2-compression-sustainer/ | | 2 | Dyna Comp | The squashiest of the three compressors, for long sustained leads. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/dyna-comp/ | | 3 | CP-9 Compressor | The third compressor option in the switching system. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cp-9-compressor/ | | 4 | Whammy | Provides the pitch dives, operated by a remote treadle. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/digitech-whammy/ | | 5 | MZ-2 Digital Metalizer | Adds a harder, more processed distortion colour. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mz-2-digital-metalizer/ | | 6 | Cornish P-2 | The Cornish fuzz voice built specifically for this system. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cornish-p-2/ | | 7 | Tube Driver (boost) | Used as a clean boost rather than for its distortion. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/tube-driver-boost/ | | 8 | RAT II | One half of a paired distortion-and-EQ stage. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/rat-ii/ | | 9 | GE-7 Equalizer | Shapes the RAT II, wired as a dedicated pair with it. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-ge-7-equalizer/ | | 10 | Cornish SS-2 | Gilmour's principal lead distortion in this rig. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cornish-ss-2/ | | 11 | GE-7 Equalizer | Shapes the Cornish SS-2, wired as a dedicated pair with it. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-ge-7-equalizer/ | | 12 | Big Muff Pi (Sovtek Russian) | Supplies the thick fuzz sustain behind the best-known solos. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/big-muff-pi/ | | 13 | Tube Driver (overdrive) | The overdrive counterpart to the first Tube Driver's clean boost. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/tube-driver-overdrive/ | | 14 | GE-7 Equalizer | The standalone equaliser shaping the overall voice. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-ge-7-equalizer/ | | 15 | Volume Pedal | Handles the swells and overall level. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/volume-pedal/ | | 16 | Talk Box | Produces the vocalised guitar heard on Pink Floyd's talk-box passages. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/talk-box/ | | 17 | TC 2290 Digital Delay | The primary delay of the rig, driving the long rhythmic repeats. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/tc-2290-digital-delay/ | | 18 | Uni-Vibe (Rack-modified) | Supplies the throbbing vibe modulation. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/uni-vibe/ | | 19 | ISP-33B Super Harmony | Adds harmonised lead lines. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/isp-33b-super-harmony/ | | 20 | PCM-70 | Provides the large reverbs and ambient washes. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/pcm-70/ | | 21 | Digital Delay System II | A second delay line alongside the 2290. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/digital-delay-system-ii/ | | 22 | Electric Mistress | Supplies the flange heard across the Floyd catalogue. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/electric-mistress/ | | 23 | CE-2 Chorus | Feeds the chorus-driven amplifier of the three-amp spread. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/ce-2-chorus/ | | 24 | Tremulator | Provides the amplitude pulse used on the slower material. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/tremulator/ | | 25 | CLS-222 Leslie Simulator | Stands in for the rotating cabinets when they are not used. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cls-222-leslie-simulator/ | ## Reconstruction note This rig has no single signal order to record. The source describes a Pete Cornish routing system of 24 send/returns driven from a Bob Bradshaw footboard, which means effects were recalled per preset and their sequence changed song to song; the order drawn here follows the source's own listing and the archive's convention, and should be read as one configuration rather than the configuration. Three compressors and three separate GE-7 equalisers appear because Gilmour genuinely carried them: two of the GE-7s were wired as dedicated pairs with the RAT II and the Cornish SS-2 respectively, and the third shaped the overall voice. The Ernie Ball expression pedal driving the Whammy is a controller rather than an effect and is omitted; the Whammy it controls is present. The six Hiwatt heads, the Alembic F-2B preamp and the Doppola rotating cabinets sit outside the effects path and are omitted. This board rests on one specialist source. ## Questions ### What pedals did David Gilmour use in 1994? This dated entry lists 25 units: CS-2 Compression Sustainer, Dyna Comp, CP-9 Compressor, Whammy, MZ-2 Digital Metalizer, Cornish P-2, Tube Driver (boost), RAT II, GE-7 Equalizer, Cornish SS-2, GE-7 Equalizer, Big Muff Pi, Tube Driver (overdrive), GE-7 Equalizer, Volume Pedal, Talk Box, TC 2290 Digital Delay, Uni-Vibe, ISP-33B Super Harmony, PCM-70, and 5 more listed in full above. 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? The complete order is reconstructed, not observed. The layout follows the cited routing constraints and the archive's signal-chain convention where the sources are silent. 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 25 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? 1994. The Division Bell world tour. This is the rig documented for that touring period, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? One cited source, listed above with the date each was read, including Gilmourish. Among them a written article. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-15. ## Sources 1 cited source across 1 independent group. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1. [PULSE 1994](https://www.gilmourish.com/?page_id=2117) — Bjørn Riis, Gilmourish (Specialist source · article), accessed 2026-08-15, independent group `gilmourish-pulse-1994`. Long-running specialist study of Gilmour's rigs. Enumerates the 1994 pedalboard and the rack separately, and describes the routing: a Pete Cornish system of 24 send/returns with all effects controlled from a Bob Bradshaw footboard, meaning effect order is programmable per preset rather than fixed. ## Related pages - Every documented board by David Gilmour: [David Gilmour board history](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/david-gilmour/) - [David Gilmour — Animals-era Cornish board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/david-gilmour/animals-tour-1977/): shares Electric Mistress, Uni-Vibe, Dyna Comp - [Jack White — White Stripes octave-and-fuzz board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/jack-white/white-stripes-board-2005/): shares Big Muff Pi, DigiTech Whammy - [Johnny Marr — Smiths BCB-6 board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/johnny-marr/smiths-bcb-6-board-1986/): shares CE-2 Chorus - [Kevin Shields — Reunion tour three-board switching system](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/kevin-shields/reunion-tour-three-board-system-2008/): shares Boss GE-7 Equalizer, DigiTech Whammy - [Andy Summers — Walking on the Moon studio core path](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/andy-summers/walking-on-the-moon-studio-path/): shares Electric Mistress, Dyna Comp - [Dan Auerbach — Turn Blue rack rig](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/dan-auerbach/turn-blue-rack-rig-2014/): shares Big Muff Pi - Previous board in archive order: [Dave Navarro — Jane's Addiction split-path board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/dave-navarro/janes-addiction-split-board-2024/) - Next board in archive order: [David Gilmour — Animals-era Cornish board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/david-gilmour/animals-tour-1977/)
