2 songs, each with a starting point and the rig from its sources
Tonelify's library has 2 Pink Floyd songs, each with the rig reported in interviews and articles and a reference starting point on a generic five-knob amp. There is no single Pink Floyd setting. Wish You Were Here starts at Gain 2 and Comfortably Numb at Gain 5.5, so set the amp for the song, not for the artist.
The numbers below are the same ones each song page gives. The rig for each song is on its own page with the sources it comes from.
Creamy fuzz-driven sustain, huge ambience.
Start at Gain 5.5, Bass 5, Middle 8, Treble 5, Presence 5, Reverb 4, with the neck pickup for body, bridge if the lead needs to cut.
Thin radio-filtered twelve-string that opens into full acoustic strumming.
Start at Gain 2, Bass 5, Middle 7, Treble 5, Presence 5, Reverb 4, with the neck or middle position.
These are positions on a generic five-knob amp with gain, bass, middle, treble and presence, each running 0 to 10. They are a starting point, not the settings used on the record, and they will not transfer unchanged to an amp with a different gain structure or EQ voicing.

Yes. What carries these sounds is the gain structure, the EQ curve, the pickup position and the order of the effects, and all four can be rebuilt on other equipment. Tonelify rewrites each starting point for the amp and guitar you own.
