  1. Yeah great find. Can't wait for Moment of Surrender.

    Do we have any idea what kind of equipment Edge has been using? I imagine Marshalls--we've seen pictures of them (one was in that BBC video as well), he said this album had molten guitar rock. Any thoughts?

    Edge mentioned Death By Audio effects in "Q" magazine a few months ago. After reading that, I contacted them and asked WHAT of their effects might he be using. They told me he bought at least one of each to start with.

    And Death By Audio make a great variety of sonic 'goodies.

    Edge may (mostly) use Vox AC30 for live application but has used a variety of amps in the studio for a number of years. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Marshall or Hi-Watt on stage for the next tour - along with a couple of Vox AC30's.
  3. I visited the DeathByAudio website - this is really sick stuff. Absolutely not my sound. Wouldn't know what to use it for. But I'm quite sure that Edge will find a way to make even that stuff usable.

  4. I feel sure that Edge will use in an 'Edge' way. He doesn't always use effects or any gear for that matter... in the most traditional way or the way the manufacturer intended. (ie: Use of the Line 6 Variax 700 for The Fly)

    "Edge is as Edge does".

  5. I know what you mean, I felt the same when I heard it but I think Jeff's got a point, Edge is certainly not orthodox in his use of various gear and guitars...
  6. Right now I'm collecting parts to assemble another strat. When it's finished it's supposed to have a different sound character than the one I already own.

    The one I have (transblue): Highway1 rosewood neck with jumbo frets, light ash body, 2-point tremolo
    The one I'm gonna assemble (honey blonde): Squier Deluxe maple neck, basswood body, 2-point tremolo

    I own a set of Robert Cray pickups (same as Texas specials). Two of them are right now installed in neck and mid position of my blue strat, accompanied by a SD Little59. But I also like the raw over- the top- wound modern power rock pickups of the current Highway strats. Since an ash body scoops mids while basswood pronounces it - what set would you suggest to put in which guitar? The highway pickups are very mid- pronounced while the Texas specials can get a little ear- piercing with lots of gain.

    I'm also thinking about giving the Texas pickups an extra switch for a mid- and bridge- in series- sound. Has anyone of you ever tried that? And does it sound more humbucker- like? In theory, it should sound like a widely oversized humbucker.

    Thanks for answering

  7. Has Edge always had Single Coiled pick-ups in that LP? I know, kind of a silly question, just curious


  8. Those are not single coils...they are uncovered humbuckers.
  11. What do they stand for? I mean, does undercovering them make any (positive?) effect on the sound??


  12. I've always wondered the same. Does it do anything?
