I like the distorted tone both on GH and the Bug
remember, Going home had a distorted tone on the studio version, it's only after Alchemy that the clean tone became the "usual" sound for this track, but at the origin, the solo was meant to be played with saturation, while the intro was played on acoustic.
Apart from 96, Marks has always choosen to play the whole song with the tone that he needed for the intro, but a distortion stompbox could have solved the problem : clean tone for the intro, and drived tone for the "rock" part...
but Mark has never been a stompboxes player...( apart in 2005 with Boom like that)...like Gilmour
