  1. The description seems a bit off. He doesn't have it any longer. And that he auctioned it off in 1999.

  2. For sure? Ok, then I'll change the descritpion when I get home. Any more info that I could add?



  3. That is what Dallas said. It was an auction in Ireland but I don't remember what for. The auction was in 1999.
  4. I've been loving the Rickenbacker. That's all I can say. I'm still figuring out what it's good at and what it isn't, but there's definitely more it's good at than not. This guitar is simply amazing.

    I was just diddling around on my U2 settings, and I came across my Pride settings and started to play. To my surprise the tone sounded a lot like the album version of the song! (At least to my ears).

    Here's the clip, I did have vocals on it, but really, who can sing this song in this register and sound as good as Bono does on the album? Scrapped those, so if you get bored, I understand

    P.S Real Thing is next!!!
  5. I wish I could play that good
  6. Anybody know what gear (pedals and effects mainly) that Edge uses for Pride? Album version too.


  7. You can get that tone with Comp/Boost and Delay.

    What did Edge have for the album? By then he had the MXR DynaComp Compressor, Boss FA-1 Bi-Fet (for boost)... He still had E-H Deluxe Memory Man during the making of the Unforgettable Fire album - for Delay. But it's also possible that he used the Korg SDD3000.

    A lot of the tone definitely comes from the guitar used too. I think it's still a mystery as to what he used. Some think it was the White Falcon, some think it was a tele,some think it was his strat with the Dimarzio FS-1 or the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder, and some think (this is what I think) it was his LPC. You can see him using the LPC in windmill lane in the making of UF videos while they're doing overdubs, so I think he used the LPC.
  9. Can't you also see them in Slane actually recording the song in the TUF movie? The included on the Slane DVD...
  10. Is LPC Les Paul Custom? Sorry Really doubt that's what you mean, can't imagine Pride on an LP

    Only thing he mentioned using the White Falcon for on UF was Indian Summer Sky and a few things that didnt' make the album.

    While "used" in the "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" video, I am not so sure it is on the studio recording.

    Seems the LP Custom was tried ifor "Pride..." per the Making of UF documentary. So while possible, that does not definitively shows that it definitely made the final mix. It is a good place to start for experimenting. But as the majority of live shows he's used a Stratocaster... leads me to believe that it was the major part of that song.

    Edge also mentioned that riff was first played/born at soundcheck in Hawaii on the War tour. That leads me to believe that it could be the Strat or perhaps the Explorer that the song was written with... or the main idea started with...

    It Might Get Loud shows Edge playing "Get On Your Boots" with the 1966 Gibson SG and at another point one of the Gretsch Country Gents. I'm not sure either of those made the final mix. So studio footage can lead the way but isn't always the final word.
  12. Doing overdubs with a Les Paul doesn't necesarely mean that the whole song (or at least the main guitar part) was recorded with it. I always thought (or liked to think) that Pride was recorded with the White Falcon. Not for tone reasons, but for feeling ones. An elegant guitar for an elegant style of playing in an elegant song
