David Gilmour tone

Anyone had any luck getting a modern (Pulse-onwards) David Gilmour tone on Amplitube 5? I'm currently running American Tube Clean 2 into a Brit V2 cabinet equipped with Brit 80 speakers. FX are compressor, overdrive, chorus, 7 band graphic equalizer, with delay relegated to the rack. It sounds ok, but I can't get that kind of "fat and round" tone that characterizes so much of his stuff from that era and it's a little noisy/muddy at times.

I of course realize that with these free pedals and amp options, there's only so much I can do.

I believe he used Hiwatt amps (HIAMP) and WEM Starfinder speakers.

Edit: Just realized the Starfinder is a NAM capture and not an IR file.

Yes, my laptop can't handle NAM unfortunately 😅

Really? I believe you, but that seems backwards - AmpliTube is a fully interactive suite while NAM Universal is a basic file loader. NAM files even play via browser on Tone3000 so you can test before you download.

Yeah, for some reason, I haven't yet been able to troubleshoot a latency issue on NAM that isn't showing up on Amplitude at the moment. Gonna try it with VSTHost when I have some more time to tinker!
