    Very cool, right sound, right pedal, but I do'nt think that's how Edge does it. I think what Edge does is set the pedal in "oscillation" mode, so when he plays the chord and rolls up the volume (or tone?) knob it "oscillates" creating that feedbacky siren sound. If you can find a video of Edge opening up that sound for Vertigo, you can see him play the chord on his country gent (from COBL) and roll up the knob, then while the sound is still going he quickly switches to the tele.


    EDIT: here's how Edge does it: [YouTube Video]


    The video link you put is fine to start the sound. That was how I did it too but didn't have the video on for that. That was the bit most of us already knew. What I was showing and hence the video was the pitch shift that Edge did later in the tour.

    Early in the tour it was just getting the one upward siren. And Edge did that like the video you put up.

    ALSO... you don't roll the volume up, you actually roll it down (off), the crunch disappears and you are left with the oscillation that makes the siren.

    Later in the tour, when he began having the siren go up and down in pitch, like the Pasadena DVD, there is more to the sound. It isn't just the initial upware pitch of the siren. It modulates up and down (like the DVD). That was what I was showing - What (presumeably) Dallas is doing underneath the stage once the siren goes starts.
  2. Am I the only one who doesnt like the siren at all? Anyway, Jeff, good approach, and nice discussion with Alex


  3. Yep. You are the only one.


  4. +1 (Sorry Sergio )

    I'm thinking of picking one of these up, pretty much for the sole purpose of trying to nail Streets for our band.



    Here's pretty much why-

    1) I would go with the TC Nova Repeater, but this is more than half the price and I'll be going away to college in just over a month from now...I don't need to spend close to $200 on something I'll rarely be using until next summer.

    2) I know I probably would get more diversity out of the TC Nova, or even the Line 6 Echo Park unit (which I seriously considered for awhile), but I'll literally be using this pedal solely for Streets. I have the Digitech RP-250 (a slightly older model of it though) multi-effect processor, and I can get a pretty precise delay for most of the other songs through that....Streets is the only one that I cannot- for the LIFE of me- seem to generate through that pedal. (If anyone has any ideas for that, btw, please let me know...I'd rather get it through the RP-250 and not have to spend $60 to play one song)
  5. Also, I've found some "patches" for the (I believe current) RP-250, that have sounds like "The Fly" and "Streets" already made up...but how can I download those and get them loaded onto the pedal? I don't think there's a sound-card that's removable....am I just shit-outta-luck in that aspect?

    Don't know of any pedal that will download sounds.

    As for the delay for "...Streets...", you should be able to dial that in easily enough.


  7. With the processor I already have or with the addition of the DigiDelay?

    And I read more into it; Digitech's multi-effect units come equipped with USB ports now, and Digitech has free downloadable software called X-Edit or something...once you have that, you can download patches, queue them in the software, hook up your pedal, and literally transfer the sound and overwrite a preset on the pedal.

    Both.

    Multi-Effects can. But that is the case with Line 6, Axe-FX, etc. But I don't know of any pedals that do that.
  10. Does anyone else think an LP Jr. would suit the Edge?


  11. Someone asked Dallas if Edge had a Les Paul with P-90's - a Jr. If I remember correctly, he said no.

    That said, I do remember seeing a picture with a double cutaway LP Jr. (amongst other guitars and bass guitars) at HQ in Dublin.




    But that might have been Dallas' LP Jr. - Dallas has one that Leslie West of Mountain gave him. Now THAT is pretty sweet. He mentioned cranking up his Marshall, out at his house in the hills in Colorado, and playing that LP Jr. loud.

  12. There's also a white Fender Jaguar that I'd not seen previous to this picture...
