  1. +1 to the last post, the Explorer is a semi-forgotten guitar in the Gibson catalogue, and releasing an Edge signature one would make it much bigger.

    Being that Gibson replicated Edge's 1975 Les Paul Custom and fooled both he and Dallas... And that there is a bigger market for Les Paul Customs than Explorers... There is a better chance that Gibson would want to market an Edge Les Paul Custom than an Explorer.


    That's what I was thinking. They already have the schematics, so why wouldn't they? Personally I'd rather have the cream les paul over the explorer.
  3. Who wouldn't? As a guitar, a cream LP is probably the best choice on Earth!! But we can't disagree in this: the Explorer is much more iconic of U2 and The Edge
  4. Anyone know of a site that has the the effect settings for U2 songs, mainly wana get my Kite settings right, any help would be much appreciated

    Very true, very true.

    Nope, and I've been looking, your best bet is to search on youttube for someone doing a Kite cover and see if they have settings posted (or ask them for it).


  7. Yes, the Les Paul (and the Strat) have become the generic guitar due to their ubiquity.
    Doesn't suit the image of a guitarist like the Edge, who's style and approach to the instrument is completely different to most guitarists.

    True, but then again a lot of U2's anthems are played on the LP and the Strat.

    We should start a section on this site


  10. This is the topic for it, really

    If you look back on this topic, when it was started almost 3 years ago... Lots and lots of interesting stuff about effects and tone etc etc was posted.

    Also Matt (AnStratDubh) knows a fucking lot about all of that.

    Yes there is some great stuff on here.....but 211 pages is a lot to look through....I would quite like a thread just for effects and maybe another one just for tabs, with a strict policy of no off-topinness!

    Well, that would be maybe too much... But hey, we can thikn about it. Maybe use this topic for general talking about guitar and tabs/gear requests, and the other two just for the answers...

    PS. We once wanted to start a tab-only toopic, it had no success
