U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:Small setup for the time being. Apologize for the roughness of the playing and some of the distortion in the "One" verses are a bit too heavy, I know. My Boss Distortion is out of commission so I had to go through the amp...little harder to change on the fly.

Just a little thing you could try f your Boss dist is out of commission like that, just try rolling back the volume about halfway when your play the distorted part of One. It should really smooth out the harshness and will probably thicken the tone up a touch.

You talking about "One"? Yeah, I could write you a tab. I actually play it slightly different than The Edge, which I'm usually never a fan of doing...same notes, just a different spot on the fretboard, on different strings. So much easier, and a much less muted tone.

And if you're talking about UTEOTW, well, I could whip one up for that just as well, I suppose.

On the B strings all notes (specially the quick parts between frets 1 and 3) are hammered or slided, but I didn't feel like writing it

Epiphone looks cool. The stark black look of it is nice.

Are there delay effects in your multi-effects unit? Both one could use some delay.

Is there a 'rotary speaker' effect setting in your multi-effects unit? It would make "One" sound more authentic.

Thanks for posting the video.
