From Rattle That Lock (2015). Rattle That Lock is the fourth solo studio album by the English musician David Gilmour. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender David Gilmour Signature Stratocaster through a Hiwatt DR103 Custom 100, the rig we use for David Gilmour's other songs from Rattle That Lock, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
Common Questions About the "And Then" Tone
What guitar did David Gilmour use on "And Then"?
The guitar on "And Then" (released 2015) isn't documented; the Fender David Gilmour Signature Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar. Tuned to standard (E A D G B E).
What amp settings does "And Then" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 3.5, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "And Then" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "And Then" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
