There is a dedicated thread to this kind of stuff - U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A.

Also, you may want to introduce yourself to the forums in the 'Welcome to U2start, ya'll' part of the forum.

I did look at this thread, but people are mostly talking about little (and interesting nonetheless) details of more recent live performance... I´m, on the other hand, looking for an old studio recording information. I did look, but couldn´t find that in that thread :/

I´m new around here, and I didn´t really know where to put my question, so sorry if this wasn´t the appropriate place.
Anyway, does anyone know how does The Edge get his crunch tones in the Boy album? I´m not sure if it´s a boosted AC30 (saturated preamp) tone, or an overdrive pedal (SD-1) into a clean AC30. Any ideas?

Thanks!
