    I wonder when and for which song did Edge use that beautiful Gretsch ♥

    Reckon they'll take IOUs?



    Listening further on, it sounds like his take on Bad. Don't think it's actually a note-for-note rendition of any U2 song, but more just him noodling to give a flavour of the tone.

    Damn I need a proper Strat (or something tasty with 3 single p'ups).

    Isn't that the Gretsch he used for Invisible?
  3. I have decided that Edge's main tone for WOWY (for the open-string ringingness) is my favourite one. That is all.

    (and the one he used for the solos in ZooTV, that was gooooooooooood)
  4. Originally posted by LikeASong:Edge seems to be playing The Miracle on different guitars - which one will he settle with? I think he played it with a Stratocaster on the Apple event last month (and on the TV ad and the videoclip, although that doesn't say much), but this pic has surfaced from last night recording a Graham Norton and he seems to be playing a Gibson ES-335 (the Breathe one?).

    That's an Epiphone casino, pal, and its totally the wrong guitar to play that song on.


  5. This is something I just wrote, guys.
  6. Hauntingly beautiful, Cal It sounds like Coldplay covering Cedars Of Lebanon (which is a very positive thing to say in my opinion - already sorry if it bothers you) but with a very distinctive taste. And love the instrument stopping at 3:20 on the "couldn't care less - till the day I die" part. Lovely!


    Just out of curiosity... What's the main string instrument playing at the intro? It sounds like some Asian medieval fingerpick harp, something like this:

  7. So, this has just been uploaded to our photo section, with the title:

    Edge in L.A. with the Bob Bradshaw Son and his new Rack for the upcoming tour

    Bob Bradshaw has been designing (or helping with) Edge's guitar racks since the Elevation Tour (although he worked with him from as early as 1992) with the impressive results we all know Any guesses from anything potentially new in the rack?

    It's a good ol' Irish harp.
  9. I know for sure the fractal audio effects axe 2 is in there
  11. That's right Gotta love them. They had one at the BnB in Bray where I stayed last November and I was delighted with it!


  12. Like Edge has said before, he finds that every multi-fx unit is usually okay at most things but really good at ONE thing, and he derives a lot of fun in trying to find that one thing. I suppose he's either trying to cut down on his rig because it's a monster (if he finds the axe is that good) or he's just doing what he's been doing for years.
