U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

(Just messin' with you.)



As for Bono's chain...

It's interesting that he was using the amount of gear he did when he only played on 2-3 songs per show during Vertigo. For the most part, it was the Elvis Dove for things like "Kite" and the Irish Falcon for "One".

It's also interesting that he had a Line 6 MM4 AND the MM4 Pro (rack version) AND he's both version of the Line 6 Delay Modeler with the DL4 and DL4 Pro (rack version). That said, I wonder which AMP MODELS he was using from the Line 6 AM4.

BOSS AD-5 acoustic instrument processor
BOSS SD-1 Super Overdrive
DUNLOP DCR-2SR Rackmount Crybaby Wah system
LINE 6 Echo pro (rack mount version of Line 6 DL4)
LINE 6 Mod Pro rack mount version of Line 6 MM4)
LINE 6 AM4 amp modeler (the red amp modeling stomp box)
LINE 6 DM4 distortion modeler
LINE 6 MM4 modulation modeler
WHIRLWIND A/B/Y switch with E-D# written on it's side

Controlled by a Skrydstrup controller (same brand of controller that Edge and Adam also use)

Indeed - if you look at the Chicago DVD, he only plays on RTSS, One and The Fly. What I find even weirder is that considering all the shizzle he's got on the rack, you can a) barely hear his guitar at the best of times! and b) it often sounds fairly non-descript...i.e. bollocks

Now now... be nice about Bono's playing.

Ah yes, The Fly... perhaps that might be where the AM4 Amp Modeler is being used.

Yeah, maybe Joe O'Herlihy is under strict orders not to push the fader on Bono's amp mic past 2. (Hahahahah)

I'm not a fan of Bono's guitar playing all that often but listen to hit little piece at the start of Running To Stand Still at the first Point Depot. Possibly the most beautiful piece of guitar work i've ever heard. Gives me chills

Another show I need to DL

you don't have it? It's only the best sounding bootleg ever matched with perhaps thee best performance ever (and the piece of guitar. . be ready for wobbly knees)

Originally posted by anstratdubh1979I can agree that Bono should have Dallas re-work his rack and work on his guitar tone. Maybe Dallas DID do Bono's rack...

Ahaha, you've got to remember that I don't have every show - yet

Hang on, I thought Brussels was the best performance?

Originally posted by germcevoy[..]

'theee' suggests wide approval. Personal says Brussels. I'm just drawn to that show. Really really get that Point show. Better than New Year's
