  1. In other news, I picked up this bad boy this week, arrived today so looking forward to getting home and getting my shimmer on
  2. Originally posted by WojBhoy:Loved watching - also love that Dallas is still thinking of songs from previous tours (mentioning the Casino being the Joey Ramone song), seems like he loves the shit out of BTBS too (understandable).

    Such a mad rig, and love how much he hypes Edge even after all these years (again, I bloody well would too) and how much time they dedicate to getting it just right.
    He even mentioned Gone , which I WISH they would play again.
  3. Definitely - I've generally steered clear of the tour so far so as to avoid spoilers, but from what I've seen, definitely think Gone would fit well with the whole Experience / loss of Innocence vibe.
  4. You'll have to let me know how it sounds! I've been using the Line 6 M5 for my shimmer sounds for a year or more, does a great job! But would like to free it up for other things on songs aha.

    After 4 hours of intense plinking, I can confirm it's excellent! Adds another dimension entirely. Will try cobble some sounds together at some point
  9. Was having a faff last night with current rig and was pleasantly surprised at the Streets sound I came up with:



    Couldn't tell you the exact settings but the basic rig is:

    Squier Bullet Strat (in phase between middle and bridge, mais oui) > Boss SD-1 (set at 9 o'clock, I think) > Boss DS-1 (switched off but you never know if the bypass is completely true!) > TC Electronic Fluorescence Shimmer Reverb (I have NO idea what that was set to but it sounded schwing) > Boss ME-20 (with some kind of delay setting I've concocted to mimic whatever the hell Edge has it at + a dash of compression) > Marshall MG-30 amp digi-combo (with god knows what setting on the dials).

    In short, I'm pretty pleased with it. I can't get enough of the shimmer at the mo - it properly helps fill out the sound when you don't have Edge's rig (or indeed his fingers).

    If only I had the backing track on at the same time - such as it is, I was playing the drums with my teeth and the bassline in my head.
  10. Thinking of starting a (guitar) cover channel, where I upload songs in a different style.
  11. Would absolutely love that, as a new guitar player it’s sometimes hard to find good covers of U2 songs, would love to see it!!

    I feel you bro: shimmer is a-d-d-i-c-t-i-n-g! I'm starting to add it to mostly all songs I play because it just fills up the sound when you're playing on your own. It's just a killer effect!
