Three-in-one Gilmour-flavoured workstation: a 1977 op-amp Big-Muff-voiced fuzz feeding a warm multi-head tape delay and a blendable modulation section (flanger, rotary speaker, u-vibe, phaser). Thick scooped sustaining fuzz with swirling wet-side texture behind it; effect order is switchable so fuzz can sit before or after the time/modulation block.
