Effects
Dotted-eighth ("triplet time") delay is central to the main rhythm guitar: the delay rhythm runs throughout the song on two double-tracked guitars, one left and one right. Gilmour used an MXR Digital Delay System in the Wall era.
Evidence / Sources
Tone character: choppy, double-tracked rhythm guitar driven by a dotted-eighth delay
Delay is documented for this song; studio knob settings are not. kitrae.net's recreation of the band demo uses a dotted-eighth delay at 380 ms (about 8 repeats) as the primary delay, plus a quarter-note delay at 507 ms — recreation settings, not documented studio values.
