  1. The Edge and Fractal Audio Axe FX II

    Summer of 2010 I ran into Dallas at Guitar Center Hollywood. Amongst other topics, I told him about the Fractal Audio Axe FX.

    I told him that I'd forward the info to him at Principle Management the following Monday.

    Seems he was interested enough to check it out.

    I've heard some in-ear monitor mixes from the S. American shows where Edge mentions Fractal during soundcheck. Seems he was A/B-ing sounds.

    It also seems that it will be used, at least for smaller promo shows as one was in his rack for the Oct 15th, 2011 Clinton Decade of Difference show at the Hollywood Bowl.

    Have a good look at this photo from the Clinton Decade of Difference. Look at the unit in the bottom of the rack. Big square green display.









    Now look at the Axe FX II. (At the link below)

  2. Ah. Trick of the eyes.

    Turns out that is a Tubescreamer in a pedal drawer.

    Oh well. D'oh.

  4. Anyone have any good advice about multi-effects pedalboards? I'm thinking about putting one on my x-mas list

    As always, it depends on your budget and your requirements.


    This is regarded as the best pocket-sized multi effect modeller:

    Although it's not suitable for live playing.



    If you want to play live (and if you have a lil' bigger budget) you can aim at something like this:

    http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=1001



    It knocks at somewhere around the 220-250 € and it's an excellent piece of gear for that price. For that same price, you can look at the Vox Tonelab EX ( http://www.thomann.de/gb/vox_tonelab_ex.htm ), although I've found that Vox stuff is slightly harder to use and modify than the Boss products. Although it's not something you shouldn't be able to sort out with the instructions and a good dose of patience
  6. What about the Line6 Pod HDs?
  7. I only speak of gear I've personally tried
  8. Then I'd very much appreciate if you could tell me what you thought about the thing that's important to a U2 fan... the echo
  9. Well, echo/delay is easily emulated with any of those I pointed out, even with lower-end pedalboards like the one I own myself (Digitech RP-50). Nevertheless, if you want to have a PROPER delay unit, the Boss pedal is excellent: http://www.u2start.com/topic/363/381115/#381115

    Do you know if it is possible to have multiple delays with the Boss ME-70, like you need for Streets?

    I think so, but I am not sure. Maybe Google it, I don't have the time... But it's worth every penny. Line 6 products are better as a whole but more expensive and less easy to customize - I think.
  12. I wonder how lacking the Boss ME-25 is compared to the ME-70... saw in that link that Joe has an ME-25.
