U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Originally posted by WojBhoyHa, between the Artisan and the Hofner, that IS a tough call. You m'man, are a lucky bastard lol. Value-wise, there's no doubt a big difference BUT they both look fantastic.

Originally posted by LikeASong[..]That's the point.

PS. I'm uploading some audio clips which I played a few ago. Some of them were played with the Artisan, some were not... But they all were played by me

Originally posted by LikeASongA bit late but here anyway, here are a few clips I've recorded thru the last months. I'm not any kind of proffesional, and I play mostly looking for joy, so there are mistakes and so, don't expect a perfect version of any song.

All I Want Is You, whole song (Gibson LesPaul Artisan): http://www.mediafire.com/?nnjazpxjdn0
In A Little While, intro (Hofner VeryThin): http://www.mediafire.com/?1s1urnyy1m1
In God's Country, whole song (Hofner VeryThin): http://www.mediafire.com/?btgmbtz8ukm
Hawkmoon 269, live intro from Amsterdam 1989-12-18 (Hofner VeryThin): http://www.mediafire.com/?m34ai1gstzm
Even Better Than The Real Thing, solo (Gibson LesPaul Artisan): http://www.mediafire.com/?nnpddwy3zen
Until The End Of The World, solo (of course Les Paul Artisan): http://www.mediafire.com/?loe1xjlogmb

That's all for now Waiting for feedback and advices

Originally posted by bcgdHey Scotto, you'll dig this! I found these pics on the Lakland website. They probably give the most insight into Adam's sound and effect/guitar usage on specific songs. I would say that these pics give us more than the info from the two interviews that keep getting reposted everywhere.

I love Adam's "idiot proof" setlist complete with color coding for his basses and what effects are to be used.

Apparently nicknames help too. Note the designated switch for the bass Edge uses on "40"

Again the bass Edge uses on "40" gets special labeling

The tech bench for the "Poshest member of U2" complete with espresso machine.

Originally posted by WojBhoyI think that's the same for all of us, Sergio - no one here is a pro. if I'm not mistaken? We're all playing for personal enjoyment, and I know that I'm definitely not perfect! Giving your clops a listen ASAP

Originally posted by LikeASong[..]Fantastic, then I'll be a bit less ashamed...

Originally posted by WojBhoyMy 'evaluative' comments are on General Chat because I figured we were getting slightly off-topic here

Originally posted by LikeASong[..]Alright (answered on gen chat too), on topic again:


Which setups/pedals/effects does Edge use on Mysterious Ways (album)?? That echoes and delays and so sound darn good
