David had been using an F2-B in front of his Yamaha RA-200 rotating speaker cabinets since the late 1970s, but in 1990 he decided to try it in place of his Hiwatt preamps. Using the F2-B preamp for the whole rig was something unique to both the 19 Pink Floyd rigs, but it was never used this way after that. The F2-B was a bass preamp, similar to the preamp used in the Fender Showman/Fender Twin Reverb. An Alembic F2-B preamp was added as the master preamp for the rig in place of the Custom Hiwatt AP100 preamps. The rack effects were changed, including a new Pete Cornish switching system with built in buffers.
