Hi, I wonder how one can obtain a clean tone on high notes as well as some distortion on low notes (as in the fat old sun solo for example :when the sound is very clean on the high bends and yet a bit dirty or fuzzy when played on the low strings) ? I tried adding some distortion : it' s ok for the low notes but it's too much crispy on the high bends.
Do stompboxes like the over-expensive treble booster have to do with this kind of sound ?

I guess it's got something to do with the SPC and EGX systems with are built into his guitar. Or maybe some EQ settings?

He didn't have EMGs on back then though...

Yes, saw it on gilmourish too.
After listening to the solo with the balance set to right (solo is panned right), it becomes obvious that there is always a bit of distortion (maybe from the bridge pickup + treble booster), even when he plays the upper bends

im not sure to be honest m8 ive always just used my gt 6 and tried to get as close as possible i have mine panned left and i used a cp 2 compression on top and wen i ben up i quickly change from the neck pick up to the center pickup iv enever had a problem that way

Keep in mind that with most types of distortion or fuzz, you can dig in a little more with your attack to get a little more dirt on the note, and vice versa.
