    Tsk tsk... (kidding)
  3. So I wonder WHICH song or songs that The Edge used this 'auctioned' Les Paul standard in JEFF APPROVED blue?









  4. Not that I was the winning bidder on this guitar... I WISH!
  5. First off, the DD-20 is a great delay. I have it, and it is great for playing U2 tunes. It's awesome. Easy to use, easy to understand, and it sounds great. It has about 10 or 11 different delay settings you can use, including Analogue and Modulating, which are both Edge delays.

    As for the les paul. I had a theory that this was the guitar he used on songs like Until The End of the World, or Zoo Station. Up until HTDAAB. That picture is recent, so I would assume some songs on the last album, maybe even their new one. But then I thought, if he has used it in the studio, and he wants to get the sound at concerts as close to the album as possible, why wouldn't he bring it on tour? So I'm not too sure what this les paul was used for. Maybe he did use it on a lot of tracks, but it was too valuable to bring on tour, like the 50's/60's natural strat he used on Stuck In A Moment. He vowed never to take that on tour with him, and he's had it for a while, you can see it behind him in Rattle and Hum during Van Diemen's Land. But he said he HAD to bring it on the elevation tour, because it was needed to retain the Stuck in a moment sound live. Anyway, I'm rambling. That's my two cents.

    Lol, what a phrase. We should all start asking you questions that would require "Jeff Approval" or something

    Far more interesting I thought was that you can see a Marshall head in the background...I've never known U2 to go for Marshalls before. Edge has always been a mostly Vox man, though we've seen him use other amps before and he began using Fender amps much more for Atomic Bomb/Vertigo Tour. Your thoughts on this?

    IDK who said this way before, but it is odd how he doesn't use blue guitars much. I can only think of the Telecaster he used for Atomic Bomb promo shows and some Vertigo shows, and Bono's ES175 he used in the video for Ground Beneath Her Feet.

    The blue Les Paul Custom was a fairly recent aquisition, during Elevation tour, if memory serves me correctly

    Blah... just being a dork in that blue is my favorite colour. My drum kit is midnight blue. First electric guitar was a Danectro reissue in blue suede fade finish (no not really made of suede) and my Danelectro 12-string is in blue sparkle.
  10. Edge has used Marshall, Fender and Hi-Watt amps in the studio -- Hence the use of the Pod Pro for amp simulation since Elevation tour.

    Good one dude Nah, as someone said,I guess most of you have Naked Adam on your desktop wallpapers


    Explanation
    But the wallpaper is really nice for every guitar player, since it changes the original meaning of the Firenze painting (God giving Life to the human kind) for a guitar-like paiting (Guitar IS the Life for Guitar-Human kind )... I love it

    Do you know for which songs specifically he deviated from his Vox? I'm sure Elevation on Elevation tour, but do you know any others? Any idea which amp models he's using?
