  1. I will have to double-check but I do think that ZOO tours and POPMART were E-flat. (Capoed and the 3rd fret)

    Seems that more and more things that were in E-flat have gotten moved to standard E tuning. Mysterious Ways during Vertigo being a prime example.
  2. Previously it's been mentioned that EH has developed the POG 2...

    As the POG 2 has pre-sets, perhaps we will see one or more in The Edge's gear for the U2:360 tour?

    POG2 - Polyphonic Octave Generator

    Back in 2005, Electro-Harmonix unveiled the original POG, a polyphonic octave generator that enabled guitarists to conjure everything from the surreal jangle of an 18-string guitar, to rich, thick walls of symphonic sound.

    The POG2 will take you even higher. Use the new attack control to fade in lush, smooth swells. Tune in the new second sub-octave to reach deeper than ever before. The 2-pole resonant low-pass filter now includes two additional Q modes. Slide in the newly enhanced detune to further refine your sound.

    The POG2 delivers unrivaled tonal variations -- and now you can save your favorite settings, and recall them with a click. The POG2 just plain sounds better, thanks to an enhanced algorithm that delivers a more focused and in-the-pocket harmonic performance. And all this is now packed into our rugged and pedalboard-friendly diecast chassis.

    Great step up from the first version. I'm already saving for one of those...

  5. That is not the Goldtop in that picture...

    ...ipretty sure that there is the Les Paul Music Rising. You can tell by the finish and the wood truss rod cover.


  7. That is the "white" one...the sister guitar to the one he gave away on the charity thing.
  9. Anyone catch Glastonbury coverage? Some interesting stuff doing the rounds these days...

    ...caught a bit of Jack White's band Dead Weather (I couldn't sing and drum like he does lol, then again I'm not a drummer...), very funky (interesting collection of guitars doing the rounds); was impressed with Doves and White Lies (who put together a pretty cool cover of Dancing In The Dark - can't wait to see The Boss play on Sunday!); there seems to be a thing about Telecasters these days though, most of the musical world seems to be playing them....
  10. Edge's rig will be harder to decipher... ...as seen in the U2.com countdown footage... The Edge's gear will be a bit harder to decipher during the up-coming tour as the rack will not be on stage - it will be in the underworld.

    Being that there is a circle catwalk and The Edge will be more mobile... it is also likely that that Dallas will be changing programs more often than in the past.

    The shows will still be amazing. But I know that many fellow Edge-fans are a little sad that they will not be able to read the settings on the rack this tour.

    C'est la vie.

    Telecaster is one of the tried and true guitars. Loads of good tones in them straight away. More so with a Custom (humbucker in the neck).

    Dead Weather album comes out Monday in the UK and Tuesday in the US. I've alread pre-ordered the vinyl from Jack's label, Third Man Records as well as digital album from iTunes.


  12. Here's the interesting thing... there were TWO Les Paul Customs. One had black knobs and one had gold. The one with gold was auctioned.

    Could they have popped gold knobs on the one that had black? Maybe but I've compared my pictures that I took last year, when it was on display at guitar center, with tour pictures so it DOES appear that they one with gold knobs to begin with -the 1975 - was the one that was auctioned.

    Here's the rub. That travelling guitar display was at the Hollywood store this weekend. The two guitars of Clapton's and Stevie Rah Vaughn's Strat were there but NOT Edge's Les Paul.

    Perhaps EDGE bid on and won his own guitar. Perhaps he loaned it to Guitar Center for the travelling guitar show last year. Perhaps he has it back now? Perhaps THAT is the white LP in the background of the earlier photo that was posted of Edge playing the MR Les Paul?

    Perhaps.
