  1. You just can't go wrong with the £50 Boss DS-1 or Boss SD-1 - these are basic, straightforward distorsions that will keep you rocking for a good while. If you want something more sofisticate, maybe an Ibanez TS-808 or an Ethos Overdrive (there are cheaper new Epiphone Casinos than this pedal y'know) might serve you.
  2. Is there a forum that doesn't evolve edge guitar gears but ours?
  3. This is a good idea, DutchU2Fan.
  5. On the subject of gear:

    Axes:
    Epi Explorer (natural Korina finish - my true love) - never changed anything in/out but intending to buy some chunkier-sounding p/ups to give the tone some extra punch
    Epi Les Paul (Alpine white - the work-horse) - again, not changed anything in/out
    Ridgewood semi-acoustic
    (Also have a Ridgewood Superstrat, first guitar I ever bought, cheap and a bit knackered now, planning on turning into my first major revamp project when I get some money to burn)

    Gear:
    Bugera V22 valve amp - generally run through the clean channel but has a tidy crunch channel; if you don't have the big bucks for your JVCs, AC30s etc., you could do much worse than check one out
    Boss ME-20 multi-FX (mainly use for compression, delay, and tuning - Wah / volume too)
    Boss DS-1 distortion (distortion up to 11, tone down to 1, level at 12 o'clock)
    Boss SD-1 OD pedal (generally use as a bit of a line-boost and to add a bit of bite to the clean tone, or definition to the distortion)
    Some cunning buffer pedal I got for £30 on eBay which makes a huge difference if I borrow my mate's Wah pedal (to counter industrial-level tone-sucking)

    (the most recent stuff on here - https://soundcloud.com/hjwoj - has some decentish recordings of what the general chain sounds like in practise)

    Wish list:

  6. Fooling around with some new gear.
  7. Nice vid, Cal qu'est-ce que c'est the new gear?

    Bought a Big Muff Pi (with the tone/wicker switches) last week - much fuzz being had.
  8. Edge playing Bullet The Blue Sky on Streets' blackie Strat Supriising!
  9. I don't think that was the Streets one... I think I saw a rosewood fretboard?
  10. Guys, I'm looking for a clear snapshot of that Gretsch Duo Jet that Edge is using.
    Bonus points for a clear shot of, or info on, the pickups.
  12. On our own gear, a wee shout-out for guitarfetish.com - don't know if any of you guys use/know of them; ordered a pair of overwound humbuckers (called Crunchy Pats), delivery (inc. shipping from US to UK) was c. $50 in total and they've given my dear beloved Explorer a new lease of life. First proper fit-out for any of my guitars, and I can't believe how much difference a good set of p/ups has made (yep, joining the rest of the world), especially a good set of p/ups that haven't torn my bank account a new backside!
