    Here's what I mean of the high end clipping though.

    [YouTube Video]

    As you can hear, its a very tinny, treble-y sound.

    And we screw up in this one, during the main riff, but listen for the channel change into the distortion, and hear how high it sounds.

    And I'm NOT saying that its the only way the pedal can sound- it just needed remixed. It does have every ability to sound fantastic- you just have to be weary of how some of those presets are going to sound turned up very loud, and make adjustments.

    Some of the better examples are Facebook videos, so I'll see if the kid that taped them at the festival we played can up them to Youtube. There was some high clipping going on that day.

    Nice I have nothing constructive to add to that by the way, I just wanted to hear what kind of sounds you were getting. I have nothing to show myself, although in some cases it's a good thing 'cause the last time I played a show of any sort was about 2-3 years ago, and it was all fairly haphazard lol...I wouldn't mind seeing if there's video of it doing the rounds somewhere though. Anyway...


  2. Edge has a couple of Gretsch 6122 Country Gentleman.

    He's used them for: Please, Mothers..., One (Popmart), One Tree Hill (Vertigo), City of Blinding Lights, Magnificent.

    The ElectroMatic 5122 will not sound as good as a 6122. The pickups are not as good. Although you could swap out the stock 5122 pickups for a set of TV Jones Classic pickups (made to vintage specs) and it would sound a lot more like Edge's
  3. I got a great deal on a 2004 RetroRocket. It sounded like The Edge's but in it's blue finish, it didn't quite look the part.

    But after a trip to Marty Bell, it now looks exactly like the Retro Rocket that Edge has used for "With Or Without You" on the Vertigo and 360 tours.

  4. Very very badass man! The black is definitely an improvement, Edge or not, it looks much cooler. Post a clip or two! I'd like to hear how it sounds NOT going through Edge's two story rig I'm guessing that's the "elite" model of the retrorocket?
  5. I liked the blue, it made it look "different", much cooler in my opinion. Of course black is much much Edge-ish, though

    It is indeed the Elite. (Elite is the only one with the Hot Rails)
