...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?

The screaching intro? Edge refers to that as the 747 sound. And that is pretty much what it sounds like - a jet engine/siren.
Per Sept 1997 Guitar World and Flood... "It's him using his Korg SDD 3000 delay heavily feedback and then going through a couple of different fuzz pedals and a Whammy pedal. One of the fuzz pedals was a "Fuzz Face". He used a semi-acoustic guitar - either an Epiphone or a Gretsch with that setup to get that sound."
So while Flood isn't 100% sure on the guitar, chances are it was either the Gibson ES330 or one of the two Gretsch Country Gents that Edge was using around that time. (One was either a 1964 or 1965 [seen it quoted by either vintage] and the other was a 1967 Country Gent.)
When playing it live, Edge activates it on a sequencer. But per Dallas, Edge remakes the sequnces for certain things ever few shows.
Originally posted by scottoAnyone out there chasing Adams tone?Maybe i can help.The equipment i use is Ashdown ABM 900 Pre Amp,ABM 4x10" and a 1x15" cabinets.American made Fender Jazz strung with DR Sunbeams and i also use Blue Herdim picks when required.
My amp settings are.Bass 12 oclock,Middle 2.30,Treble 12.30.Slider 1 Flat.Slider 2 +2,Slider 3 +3,Slider 4 +.5.I have the drive set at 1 oclock,input 11.30 and output 11.My gear is very similar to what adam is using also.
From there i only ever change the pickup adjustments on my bass.For finger played songs i back off the Bridge pickup about 1/3 with the neck pickup on full and set tone at half.For pick played songs i have Bridge pickup on full and back off the neck pickup about 1/4 with tone on 1/2 way mark.
If anyone else does anything alse please let me know so i can try it also.The big part of Adams tone comes from the Ashdowns.I wish i could add a Line 6 XT Pro like Adam uses but my funds don't allow it at the moment.
Also if anyone has close ups of any of Adams gear please post so i can check them out.
