There is no trademark Edge delay on U2-Three ("Out Of Control", "Boy/Girl" or "Stories for Boy"). In that, that was the improvement of the 'Boy' versions of "Out Of Control" and "Stories For Boys" - the atmosphere due to the delay.
Apparently it was Bono that 'procurred' (borrowed or permanently borrowed) the first EH Deluxe Memory Man.
Edge used it for "A Day Without Me" and began to play with it and incorporate it into other songs that they were working on.
Originally posted by thebonodrums:I happen to be lucky enough to own one (deluxe memory man) and they are the best delay ive ever used. DO NOT...buy the new ones. They dont have the same chip and dont sound as good. The one I have is a nineties...so its amazing.

Yeah I've heard they're nothing short of awesome, might consider getting one myself. Someone told me they don't have the 9vDC input (wall wart input) though, is that true? Like an adapter input as opposed to a 9v battery?
On another note, I just purchased a new amp (my third one now to be exact). A ZT Lunchbox! Mick from The Unforgettable Fire raves about this thing (as do others) because of its incredible sound and super small size. I was looking for a small amp for my bedroom for practising (AC30 is too big for my room, and the blues jr is at my drummers house for band practising) so this was the ticket. According to him, it's ultra clean and takes effects really well, so now my "mini-gear" conquest begins!

The sound was spectacular too, it sounds like an AC30, but a bit "smoother," I would say (either that or the distortion used.. either way, it sounds great.) That single clip sold it for me, I've got to say. Great find! 
Nice buy Originally posted by U2Nick:[..]
Wow, that little thing delivers 200 watts? Incredible!
It's that big, literally the size of a lunchbox, and it delivers 200 watts and sounds THAT good! I'm pumped as hell to get it. Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:[..]
Yeah! Poeple are calling it "alien technology"
Seriously, my HUGE (five - seven times the size and really heavy
) Line 6 can only pump 120 watts. I don't necessarily need all the power (except for at rehearsals... but even then I usually only have the volume up about 3/4) but it's just an astonishing point. The Line 6 sounds like crap compared to that thing as well... guess I might be trading up soon!

Rightfully.
Not in a million years. It's basically my dream amp, and I have it! Saved up for a long time for it. Although it's a bit unnecessary, meaning that I don't play to huge audiences and normally I don't play it louder than a quarter way up (the master volume knob that is) but the tone is freakin' great nonetheless. Never heard anything better. My band plays mostly classic rock kind of stuff, and it sounds phenom. for that. It breaks up really nicely (well yeah, it's a tube amp!) and the natural overdrive on it when turned up is great. They're discontinued (I believe...) but you can find em' on ebay for around 300-400 bucks.
