Add a Fuzz Face-style pedal for the documented fuzz sound
Why it sounds like that
David Gilmour shaped most of the guitar sounds on Money himself, using the main processing boxes of the age, including phasing pedals and a Binson Echorec. A Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face and a Kepex tremolo processor are heard on the song, and the latter section uses a custom Bill Lewis guitar. Across the album he played his 1969 Fender Stratocaster, The Black Strat, through Hiwatt DR103 100W heads. The basic track was cut live by all four players, with two extra Gilmour guitar lines overdubbed.
- Record the band live, then overdub only the two guitar lines that weave in and out of the track.
- Treat the guitar with several effects units, as Gilmour did across the album.
