I only own the 2005-05-24 Dublin show, which I got it on the eMule... Otherwise, my REM shows would be zero... Maybe you can recommend me some good ones, specially from the post-1992 era (for example, U2-ish related I'd recommend1993-08-28 Dublin, 1993-11-27 Sydney, 1997-07-18 Rotterdam... Can you do that for REM??) ? Thanks!! Originally posted by anstratdubh1979:Some Edge video goodness from the BBC? Certainly!

Originally posted by anstratdubh1979:That 'string' like sound is called "Shimmer". It is basically a harmonizer and reverb. Edge then blends that tone with his main signal. The shimmer is basically a pitched up and reverbed trail of the notes he's playing. He's used it tons and is a tradmark. E
How can the layman (us) get this? The Line 6 Verbzilla set to the 'Octo' setting is a cheap and effective way to achieve this tone.
Digitech IPS 33b is a nice rack harmonizer that works well for this tone.
Edge uses an Eventide harmonizer.

Peter Buck has used a LP at every show I've seen since 1989. He got one around the time of the "Green" sessions. It isn't one that he uses often but does for the heavier things like form "Green" or "Monster" like "Orange Crush", "Stand", "Crush With Eyeliner", "I Took Your Name" & "What's The Frequency Kenneth".

I was expecting something much more interesting. Originally posted by haytrain:Just watched the videos Jeff posted with Edge talking about his guitars. What's the name of the effect Edge brought in when he was playing the inifinite guitar? It's a synth-y sort of sound....
