Is that an oil can delay?
That’s a Morley (Tel-Ray era) pedal, and yes, it’s an oil-can… something.
They made a few oil-can-based effects back then… it could be the Rotating Wah, or the Rotating Sound Synthesizer. The former apparently created a Leslie-style effect, or could be used as a “traditional” Morley wah or volume pedal. So, no oilcan delay.
I think it’s the former, as I have no idea whether the Rotating Sound Synthesizer used the same oilcan/treadle format. I’ve never seen one…
But I HAVE seen the Rotating Wah. If you thought the old Power Wahs were massive, that’s even bigger! Sadly, I had the opportunity to try it out and I didn’t. If I’m lucky, the shop that had it might still have it… I’ll check tomorrow.
EDIT: I just found a photo of the RSS. It doesn’t have a treadle - just the oilcan part and a platform for the switch and knobs. That means the pedal in the Gilmour photo can only be the Rotating Wah.
