  1. From the stills that someone posted at U2 Rec Yahoo Group, it looks like Edge is using at least (2) Death By Audio pedals for "...Boots..." at the Grammys.

    DEATH BY AUDIO HARMONIC TRANSFORMER:
    Link below has information about the pedal AND a video sample of the pedal.
    Death By Audio Harmonic Transformer Fuzz


    DEATH BY AUDIO SUPERSONIC FUZZ GUN:
    Link below has information about the pedal AND a video sample of the pedal.
    Death By Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun

    The picture I saw also showed a:
    ELECTRO-HARMONIX POG:
    Electro Harmonix POG Polyphonic Octave Generator

    Darn that The Edge! All of these pedals are pricey!
    DEATH BY AUDIO HARMONIC TRANSFORMER - $300.00
    DEATH BY AUDIO SUPERSONIC FUZZ GUN - $270.00
    ELECTRO-HARMONIX POG - $324.00

    TOTAL? $994.00 NOT including any tax or shipping. High prices but VERY cool sounds!
  2. yea the POG is on my list of pedals to get. I love the sound you can achieve from that thing. You can get a ricky sound through a les paul or a strat through that pedal, it's awesome. As for the other pedals, don't know really anything about them. I hadn't heard of them up until this album was being made. Sure have cool names though! Fuzzgun.
  3. Not sure you will get a 'true' Ric 12-string sound but if you have the POG and (1) guitar you can at mimic a 12-string to some extent. But yeah, the POG is a great device.

    A friend of mine has a Death By Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun... sounds cool as heck! Save your pennys, it's time for new toys for the pedalboard!

    haha. I'm in the middle of saving up for a strat, a new ipod, repairs on my current strat, a couple video games, and sooooooooo on.

    The fuzzgun can wait

    What's the prob with your strat? What kind of repair does it need?

    Guess I'll have to pass on this fuzzgun thing, too. Wouldn't quite know what to use it for anyway. If I need a distortion box in addition to my tubeman I'll continue using my old Ibanez Fat Cat (Proco Rat Clone).

  7. Latest U2.com video?

    Adam Clayton playing the John Entwistle designed "Buzzard Bass". You will get a kick out of Larry's response!

    Adam Clayton & The Buzzard Bass:
    http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/buzzard.swf

    I hope that Adam brings this thing on tour... it makes the Auerswald from Popmart look almost normal.

    More information on the Buzzard...

  8. HAHAHA. "WOW! that's the batman guitar is it?" Man that was funny. Larry is an "ill man". What a cool response.

    As for my strat Alex (weird saying that, as if I'm talking to myself) there's nothing wrong with it. I did just get the pickups changed because the old ones were being screwy, but that was only to sell it. I'm selling it because I want to get an American, and the money from selling my mexi will go towards the cost.


  9. That was funny!! The song he was recording sounded good too. Not sure abou the bass though. I would have to hear it better.
  10. Hahahaha. "You're gonna have to turn it down."


    And RE NLOTH Version 2--any idea what equipment he used? It sounds an awful lot like when I plug my Epi Casino into the drive channel on my Vox AC50. That "shimmering" sound in the chorus sounds like some of the Telecaster clips we've heard on the videos that U2.com have posted.

    NLOTH ver 2. It is quite possible that a Casino was used.

    Why do I think this? There are bits of the guitar melody that are very "Holy Joe". Seems to be a similar part to that melody and very similar in the "Holy Joe" tone.

    On "Holy Joe" Edge used his Gibson 330TD (also used for "One" during Zoo TV). It is to my understanding that his Casino replaced his 330TD, after the 330TD was destroyed in the HQ flood.

    Which video clip - for the shimmer bit - are you referring? Just wondering.

    There is a tobacco Telecaster seen in a few of the videos. Wonder if that will be taken on the road... time will tell.

    Here (http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/edgeputitdown.swf) you can see that particular Tele. Sounds like they are working on Magnificent here, but to me the sound was sort of similar.

    And here (http://media.u2.com/flash/highlights/edgeback.swf) about 2:04 in he's got the Casino with a similar sound (to me anyway).

    I really love my Tele and my Casino--it would be so great to see him use them more on the road! (And on an irrelevant side note: I wish he'd use that spectacular SG for songs other than Elevation)
