What do you think about the boss DD20?
There’s also a very cool Sound on Sound feature (not quite like David’s effect but close), storing/banking of presets and seamless change between patches. The DD20 is like all Boss pedals – OK but a bit sterile and bright sounding. It’s also a bit too noisy to be up there with the studio quality models. Noise level: 6/10

Make sure you boost those mids as well! Just to add to things, throughout his carreer in pink floyd, he used HiWatt amps.
