I think Edge used a Fender Jaguar (Lake Placid Blue) on a regular base for the live performance of Discothèque and If Your Wear That Velvet Dress during the PopMart Tour.

I think it was a Fernandes.

Regarding the delay, I know what you mean regarding the Boss - it happens with a lot of other delays. I didn't find that to be a problem with mine (Boss PS-2 - best pedal I have, both manual delay and manual pitch shifter), but then again I end up playing with multiproccessors most of the time and delays there are absolutely customizable number by number, so...

Yeah, glad I finally did. If I'm lucky it'll arrive from Germany on Friday, otherwise it's next week.

The DD-20 has quite a lot of options, it's a good pedal, but when I get my money from my summer job, I'll have quite the budget and figured that since among the best things ever, I'll treat myself to one of the best delay pedals... And that's pretty much the Strymon Timeline or the Eventide TimeFactor.

I recently checked out a Fernandez with a sustainer, not a bad guitar at all. I would say a great guitar to own in an Edge focused collection (next to for example a Les Paul and a Rickenbacker). It could replace the ubiquitous strat.

I would have to go find a Japanse made Fernandez though, the one I played was Korean, iirc:

Fernandez, interestingly, do a "Vertigo" model:

but with EMGs so not particularly Edge like.

Their most strat like, Japanese model is this one:

The sustainer will make WOWY, TUF, and LIB easy.

ADAM CLAYTON | CUSTOM WARWICK STREAMER CV

Warwick introduced the Streamer CV - Classic Vintage - bass at NAMM 2013. Now Adam Clayton ordered his own Custom Shop Streamer CV according to his personal needs.

This bass comes with a Swamp Ash body, a one-piece-maple neck and a maple fingerboard with a 9 1/2" radius equipped with Mother-of-pearl inlays.

Adam Clayton's Streamer CV is fired with passive Seymour Duncan SPB-3 pickups combined with passive MEC electronics.

Matching with the beautiful Gold Solid Finish, Warwick dressed this Custom Shop Streamer with a white pearl celluloid pickguard.

VIDEO LINK (Below):

It has the same passive pickups that are in the Warwick 'Reverso: Adam Clayton Signature model'

I'm thinking of getting a Les Paul -shaped guitar, but I don't want Epiphones and I don't have the money for Gibsons, so other brands are the way to go. I wanna go for a new axe although used would be welcome too.

I've seen this beauty which has lots of passionate reviews (mostly everyone who's played it puts it above Epiphones, for less than half the price)... It's the AXL 1216. It also comes in other amazing colors and finishes (below).
