HE used a Big Muff and Fuzz Face for this. Which does he use on In the Flesh? The Big Muff sounds more like... the Ram's Head Big Muff sounded pretty good if so.

Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face (BC109)
- modified with a tone circuit
Electro Harmonix Big Muff (1973 “Ram’s Head”)

Yeah, that's how I knew he used the Ram's Head.

Well... all I know is he rolled his volume back to get smoother overdrive tones from the Fuzz Face and Pete Cornish added that tone control to his Fuzz Face.. my guess is that it'd be a passive big muff style tone stack.

I don't think it's the big muff on the recording so I recon it's his Fuzz face with the volume backed up as the tone isn't too harsh like a full on Fuzz Face and it's not thick enough to be a muff, that's my guess.

Edit... I suppose it could be a muff with the gain backed down... he does do a little solo fill though in which case i'd imagine he'd kick the fuzz face on to boost the muff or he could have just turned the volume up to get the full on fuzz face tone.

Those big chords on In the Flesh sounds muffish to me, but with the sustain knocked back a bit.

So it is and I was originally wrong! I'l have to listen up on my muffs... although it does say he used a fuzz face on the album section but there's no mention of it in the recording section, but he probably forgot using it.

On the Wall Gilmour used a Ram's Head and pushed it with the Tube Works Tube Driver.

A metalzone into a fender frontman 15R nails it.
