  1. What's up Bitches! Hahahaha... sorry, busy week at work. How are all the musicians today?

    Classic Edge tone OD pedal? Try a Boss SD-1 or Boss OD-2 or OD-2r. Avoid the OD-3 as it's shite. A Tubescreamer will get you 2000-2008 era OD tones.

    For something a bit more extreme? Boss PW-2. (Edge had one in his Vertigo tour arsenal) While only made for like... 4 mins in 1997, they can be found on E-Bay for under $100.00 I got mine for a mere $39.00
  3. +1 on the Boss SD-1 however if you pick up one used I highly recommend getting one without two of the knobs missing like I did.

    Yikes!
  5. Both BONO and ADAM have used a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive at times too.

    Seems Edge parted with his post POPMART when he began using the Ibanez TS-9 Tubescreamer. (Boss SD-1 being similar in character to a Tubescreamer)
  6. I've use the SD-1 to get that John Entwistle sound I like. Although a different beast altogether I'd like to get an EH Big Muff. About a month ago there was guy around here who sold one on Craigslist for $40. I just wasn't quite quick enough.

    I've actually been throwing my extra money at my motorcycle rather than gear lately.
  7. Where can I hear Adam with overdrive?

    Hmm, definitely something to start saving up for lol...methinks I better start searching around lol! Cheers guys
  9. The SD-1 is fantastic. I have that and a Tube Screamer, the TS is wonderful for a good rhythm sound, I throw in the SD-1 for a scintillating lead/solo sound.


  10. Love and Peace
    Vertigo
    Bullet (live)
    New Years Day (live)
    All Because of You
    The Fly
    Last Night on Earth
    Hold Me, Thrill Me...

    just to name a few.

    There's a bunch if you know what to listen for. Adam and Edge generally have a policy of if one of them is using an effect then the other one backs off theirs. Sometimes though they throw everything out the window and will just pile it on but again subtly. Listen to "Vertigo" chorus after the "No one gets hurt..." part for a great example.

    (BTW - I was just hypnotized by listening to the beginning of WOWY and staring at my avatar.)

  11. lol, dear me...what version we talking here?


  12. Straight up "Joshua Tree". Bonus points and my admiration for anyone who can tell me what song Adam's playing my avatar. Actually just bonus points. I save the admiration for myself.
