  1. I wish Edge would get a 335 in Pelham blue.

    Looks like a nice guitar you got there in any case


    They have not played "Discotheque" on this tour.

    Other than Popmart tour, it was played a mere 6 times for 'Elevation' tour (including Astoria promo show) and only 2 times on the 'Vertigo' tour (last time being September 20th, 2005 in Chicago)



    Edge doesn't seem to favor the Gibson 335. I've only seen him use a Gibson 335 during the "Joshua Tree" tour ("One Tree Hill")

    Pelham blue is a nice finish. Edge does have a Pelham Blue Gibson SG. It's the backup to the ("Elevation") `66 cherry finish SG. I'd love to see Edge use the Pelham blue SG. Although I've never seen any evidence of it being used. I have seen two pics of Dallas playing it during soundcheck.





  3. i hate you...but really i love you. what i meant to say...was im very jealous I have an ebow and those things are fantastic but I would love to be able to add some vibrato with the trem arm hmmmmm...very jealous
  4. I blew out one of these things a few hours ago at my band's first show lol...



    This is the only picture of one that I could find. The one that I use is sort of different; it's covered with some sort of carpet-esque material. But it's ultimately the same amp.
  5. UPDATE: The eagle has landed!!!! (UPS has arrived) and the RetroRocket sounds very cool indeed.

    I can't believe how light it is! Especially compared to my Clapton Stratocaster, which is quite heavy.

    Awesome dude, awesome. How does it sound? How does it compare to a strat? You should post a recording demoing it!

  7. hey guys, how do u add make the 'shimmer' guitar effect? i have a boss me 70, anyone know if that can do it or do u have to buy a shimmer pedal?
    Cheers
  8. line 6 verbzilla with octo reverb effect. best one ive heard.
  9. Hello all,

    I was just wondering how many of you have any experience with the Boss ME-70. And do you like it?
    I have a Boss ME-50 but the memory-banks are full and I was wondering if the ME-70 would be a nice addition.
    I'm planning to attach both systems to each other which gives me a bit more options to add stuff like distortion or delay during a song (using a pre-set sound on the 70 and just one other effect on the 50)

    I would really appreciate any advice/opinions you can give me.

    Greeting,

    Mike

    i have the ME 70, all up has 36 customizble slots (9 lots of 4). i thinks its great, very easy to customize everything and if u have the patience u can get it sounding pretty close to the edge.
  11. I think the Line 6 M13 is the better of the multi-effects pedal board units. One can cover a lot of U2-related sonic territory. And, it has the octo-verb shimmer in there.

    They list for $499 but can be found cheaper new and used on ebay. I think I paid... $415-ish for mine (new).

    But if the Boss unit sounds good to you and you find it fits your needs that there is nothing wrong with that.
  12. Hey guys, I'm looking into buying my first wireless system (for guitar / bass). The one that has caught my eye is the Nady DKW-1 VHF, mainly because of the price. However, it also has some great ratings, which is also good. There are other options that I have been looking into from Nady, Audio-Tecnica, etc. For the price range ($150 and below), would this be the best choice? I mainly plan to use it at gigs.

    Thanks for any feedback!
