Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb First Solo with KPA

Maurizio70 · Sep 6th 2014

Hi Guys,
here is my latest attempt to cover the studio version of the first solo of Comfortably Numb.

You know, the original have great post processing work, so it is very difficult to match the tone...
At the end I manage to found a good one that stays well in the mix and that is the best result I achieved from the past with other gear.
I preferred to don't do any post elaboration to listen directly to the KPA as it could be in a LIVE session.
I started from an HiWatt DR103 profile coming from TAF. So, let's listen to...

Comfortably Numb 1st SOLO

Most excellent, Maurizio!

Amazing tone and playing Maurizio! Could you share your settings (for the most part) for the edification of the Hiwatt DR103 TAF owners?

Thanks all of you for the appreciation!

Since we all have the Rig Manager now, I was thinking about a simple and effective method for sharing rigs that are started from commercial profile. Let’s take this case as a first trial…

Here you can download my rig for Comfortably Numb First Solo
http://www.maurizio70guitarist.com/songs-cover/pink-floyd-cover/

This rig is complete in all the slots except for the Amp Profile (that you will find set to “off”) in which I substituted the real Amp used with a fake “Default Amp”. In the rig/amp comments I put the information related to the commercial profile to be substituted.

I report also here this information but consider that they are clearly reported in the Rig’s comments.
• Change the default Amp Slot (please, NOT the Stack!!) with the Amp in 'TAF Pack2 HiWatt DR103 A-HiWatt Full'
• Amp Settings: Gain 4; Definition 5.6; PowerSag 3; Comp 4.6; Clar 3.8; TubeShape 3.3 (all others parameters are “0”)

Let me know if it works …
