    Exactly. I couldn't afford the real deal so I scored this for half the price. Oh, and purchased it at Grayson's Tune Town in Montrose. (A little local humor for Jeff)

    Hahahahah...
  3. Being that I have a stompbox effects factory of stompbox effects... I have my main and my smaller pedalboard.

    I made the smaller pedal (pictured below) myself... the 'wood' is merely a spare shelf from an IKEA book case. Works well in this capacity.



    As guitar effects are right to left (like reading Hebrew) Here is what is on the pedalboard from R - L:

    (not in the picture but on the floor and first in line before the board:
    - BOSS AW-2 Auto Wah [tan] - While not as extreme as a Lovetone "Meatball" (which I also have) the AW-2 is pretty versatile and sounds great.

    - BOSS PSM-5 (power supply) [red]

    - BOSS OD-2r Turbo Overdrive [yellow] - Edge used a OD-2 for Until The End Of The World during ZOO and POPMART tours

    - BOSS PW-2 Power Drive (overdrive) [orange] - Edge used one on his smaller board for the 1997 Tibetan Freedom show and it appeared in his main rig on the Vertigo tour

    - PSIONIC AUDIO 'Z2' (distortion) - You'll notice the familiar "BOY" album graphic. Lyle from Psionic Audio made 13 of these, sending one to The Edge himself. The Z2 is a copy of the old Guytone Zoom distortion that Edge used around the time of the October and War era.

    - BOSS DC-3 'Digital Dimension' (digital chorus) [pink]- The DC-3 was sold from March 1988 to August 1993. The name was changed on later version to 'Space-D' to avoid a law suit. Luxurious sounding chorus pedal. It's like having a great digital rack mount chorus in a lil box. Good stuff. NAILS Andy Summers-like chorus tones.

    - BOSS PH-2 Super Phaser (phaser) [light green]

    - BOSS TR-2 Tremolo (tremolo) [dark green]

    - BOSS RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay [charcoal] - Can be used as a digital delay, reverb or combination of both.

    Behind the row of pedals, is the Boss TU-2 guitar tuner. The orange Boss pedal that is also back there and not hooked up is a BOSS DS-1 Distortion.

    So SEE all the guitar newbies... YOU TOO (U2) can make a pedalboard with ease... just a board, some velcro and some pedals... et voila!

    The first piccy (above) piccy I took with my phone this evening. Phone cameras sort suck but it gives an idea of what is on the smaller board. I will take and post a better piccy once I get a digi-camera:

    Why two different pedalboards? Here's the main BIG board...


    Being the other/bigger one... although that one has diffent stuff on it now, that piccy is older...

    ..so yeah WHY two? Same as "WHY A LEMON"... "WHY NOT.

    check the edit version... more info and such.

    Like the "Z2"? Pretty sweet, eh? Only 13 in existence in the BOY motif. Lyle does make the pedal still but not with the U2 paint job - wanting to avoid law suits and such.

    Check him out at:

    www.psionicaudio.com - He makes GREAT guitar toys.

    His 3.14 is his clone (and better) of an E-H "Big Muff".
    http://www.psionicaudio.com/main/314.htm

    Here's some video links to see more of what it does.
    http://www.psionicaudio.com/main/triad_video.htm

    Mick in the videos is Mick of the NY U2 tribute "the Unforgettable Fire". Great guitars and stand up guy.

    The Triad is basically the MAGIC of the SDD-3000 - that being the built in pre-amp to the SDD-3000. Even if Edge isn't using the SDD-3000 as a delay, he often is using that pre-amp in it.
    http://www.psionicaudio.com/main/triad_features.htm

    Lyle also does "mods" on Newer VOX amps. He can get them to JMI era (1960's era like Edge's) in specs and in sound. In short, Lyle is a fecking genius!!!!

    That there is a Gretsch Country Gentleman. And he's playing "City Of Blinding Lights". If you have the Vertigo Live in Chicago DVD - it's the first guitar Edge uses in that show.

    He used a 1964 or 65 on Please. That one died in the flood. The one used for COBL is a 1963 model.
