Hi, I am considering buying a 200W TE Elf Bass Head and TE 1 X 10 speaker cab. I want to upgrade my existing amp which is a Blackstar 60w combo.

Hi, Is it possible to emulate the bass pedal sound used for Floyd's Money using a Boss GT1B pedal? I'm sure Walters used a pedal/s that would cost a fortune to purchase nowadays and realise I am not going to get a true match, but any way of programming something that sounds remotely similar...
