  1. Here's a sweet piccy of Adam playing his natural finish Lakland "Darryl Jones" model bass during the 2nd leg o' the Vertigo tour.



    Close up of Adam playing. You can see the Herdim guitar pick in Adam's pick guard, for the songs that he does use a plectrum.



    While Adam does have two natural finish Darryl Jones models... juding by the grain of the wood - both pictures above are of the same bass.

    Per Dallas, Edge uses 3-4 sounds per song. Each of those 'sounds' is actually a grouping of effects. There may be an intro sound, verse sound, chorus sound, bridge or solo sound and or maybe even an outro sound. Again, each of those might have similar effect with different settings to completely different effects and settings.

    That said...

    "Elevation" the song? Per page 105 of the January 2001 edition of Guitar Player magazine:

    GP: "Elevation" has some amazing distortion tones.
    EDGE: "I used a Gibson SG through an old fuzz pedal of Daniel's (Kay Fuzz) into a Bassman (amp). He (Daniel) said what do you think of this? "Within ten minutes, I had the riff that became the stepping off point for "Elevation".

    Important note:
    Live, Edge uses what is referred to as the "Rab Fuzz". Which is that U2 crew member Rab Macallister too the guts of a Kay Fuzz and installed them into a wah pedal housing. Et voila "Elevation". Why the change? The Kay fuzz was in a plastic housing and would probably not stand up to touring needs.

    GP: "What is the massive wah-wah at the end of "Elevation".
    EDGE: "That's us filtering the tone after the fact with an Electrix Filter Factory.
  4. Speaking of "Elevation"... Here's my FAVORITE picture I got of Edge playing this... I took this one at the November 2, 2005 Los Angeles show. We were inside the ellipse and parked right in front of our 'guitar hero'

    Speaking of Guitar Hero, shouldn't the game owe Edge residuals on the name "Guitar Hero"? (Kidding)

  5. I'd complain about the quality, but takeing good pictures that close to a stage is hard. It actually looks pretty cool like that.
  6. What was "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" played on.

    I got bumped! But I liked that this one looked 'artistic'. Many of my up close shots came out great.

    The recording? I am uncertain. He's 'miming' the video with his Yamaha AE2000
  9. THIS (pic below) being the Yamaha AE2000:

  10. Picture request:

    Hae you any Pop Mart era pictures of The Edge with the orange Fernandes guitar or the sea foam green? Both were used for "Discotheque", "..Velvet Dress" and "With Or Without You"





    Here's Edge using the orange one at the dress rehearsal for Elevation tour...


    I need some large pictures of either and any clear close-ups. Can anyone help me out with this?

    Thanks!
  11. Sorry I can't help with the guitar pics Jeff...

    ...however, I just got a couple of questions if you're feeling in the mood

    Firstly - I haven't watched it in a while, but I remember on the PopMart DVD, Edge played SBS and then BTBS on a Les Paul, but can't remember whether it was the goldtop or one of the '75?

    Secondly - do you know what amps. Edge uses?

    SBS and BTBS were the 1983 Gibson Les Paul 30th Anniversary Goldtop.

    BTBS:


    Amps vary from tour to tour. 1960's era VOX AC30's are a mainstay.
