U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Originally posted by anstratdubh1979This one is my favorite of Edge's guitars. Looks cool and feck.

Used for "Desire" and "The Fly" during the Zoo tours and seen in the "Wild Irish Rose" video...

...studio use? Uncertain but there are pictures in the AB CD booklet and AB era related studio shots of Edge playing this guitar... So I'd assume it's on the album for at least one tune (or more)

Awesome guitar no question of that. Such a great tone throughout most of ZooTV when it was used

And it looks cool as feck! When I went to the R&R Hall in 2003... I stood and stared at every inch of that guitar for an hour. You could see the finger grime on the fretboard - everything.

And unlike the picture... it now has (or did in 2003) a mauve coloured mirror pick guard that matched the guitar nicely.

Ha, that's delightful lol - "the finger grime on the fretboard"...

...which reminds me, I got hold of some more Roto reds (strings) today, plus another strap for my Strat., need to replace the shitty strings on my LP and clean the fretboard, pickup guards etc.

If only to get Dallas to drop by... set up and re-wire my pedals for maximum effectiveness and to set up all my guitars. That is MY idea of winning LOTTO

Ha, indeed, and get Edge to mess around with the settings until he finds something unique and Edge-esque

Even to just set up my guitars so that all of them play with great intonation and such... that'd rock.

Perhaps we should kidnap him?

Originally posted by anstratdubh1979What's on the pedalboard presently? (I've tons to chose from)


Right now the chain is as follows:

Ibanez Weeping Demon (Wah) > Visual Sound Route 66 (combo: Compressor and Tubescreamer-like OD > Boss OD-2r (Overdrive) > Sobbat Drivebreaker (Overdrive) > Loveone Big Cheese (fuzz/distortion) > Line 6 MM4 modulation modeler (digitally reproduces a number of various Tremolo, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Rotary, Vibrato pedal sounds) > Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler (digitally reproduces a number of delay pedays) > Line 6 Verbzilla (Reverbs and Shimmer sounds)

Now now... kidnapping Dallas would make us a retronut.

Aha!

How we'd organise a cross-Atlantic kidnapping of someone who's more often than not living in the south of France or in Dublin would be a feat in itself!
