Baically just a long delay (about 430-440ms) with modulation, (usually edge's modulation settings imo are very fast and very low depth).
Then you need a light overdrive for the main parts,
a compressor if you want to get very technical and spot on, but a very transparent compressor sound,
then a shimmer type sound, like from a verbzilla or eclipse.
For the solo sounds you need a tube screamer on high settings

That should be about it, as far as exact settings go, just feel it out. Tweak, tweak, and tweak, like other Edge guitarists have, and you'll find the right sound
