No problem Karl,
A Boss Blues Driver would work just fine for a dirty sound. The 70's and early 80's Gilmour has 3 basic setups:
1. Clean - Straight signal to the Amp.
2. Slightly dirty overdrive for some rhythms and some solos.
3. Super dirty which is basically fuzz for full blown solos.
Then he would of course add effects on top of it for different sounds and feels but in general he's using one of those. So all you need is a clean signal on your amp. If you want a little dirty sound or just a little boost for a fairly clean solo...like the first solo in Comfortably Numb...just stomp on an overdrive and like I said, The Boss is a good place to start. Then for a really cranking solo. Switch to the fuzz.
: many thanks brian i cant believe i was going mad for the chandler tube driver as im only into early 70s to early 80s.
: so the boss bd2 is definelty the one? with a little compression maybe depending on which solo
