  3. What are the guitars The Edge uses in Love and Peace or Else and The Fly during Vertigo Tour?

    It's a Line 6 Variax, but I can't remember if it was called Variax 300 or Variax 700.
  5. Hi,

    Does anyone know a good compressor pedal? I've been looking at the Boss CS-3, but also hearing some complaints about it.
    So, is there anything else in that, or a slightly higher, price-range?

    (EDIT: ok.....just found some posts about compressors in this topic, so, I should be looking for a Dynacomp 76 issue or a Maxon probably, unless there's something I'm missing)

    Also, what should I get if I want to make it possible to send my guitarsignal through 2 channels? Meaning, that I can add shimmer, delay or whatever through another channel and turn off that channel whenever I want (so basically, two effect channels).

    oohw, just another question (sorry, I'm very curious today)
    I have a couple of Epiphones I was thinking of replacing one's humbuckers with original Gibson versions.....are these guitars worth this upgrade and is there a substantial added value when I do?....and if so, which humbuckers should I put in to my Explorer or Dot Deluxe to get more of a U2 sounds into them.

    any ideas?

    Thanks

    mike
  6. New Electro-Harmonix pedal -

    Ravish Sitar

    As Edge has used Electro Harmonix pedals in the past... (Deluxe Memory Man, Big Muff, Holier Grail, Micro-Synth &Hot Tubes) ...I wonder if Edge has one and will use one on the next album and tour? I think that he could make some good use of it.

    It does to MORE than just 'sitar'. And perhaps it could add some new tones into older tunes, like Mysterious Ways? Just a thought...








    Danelectro made a 'sitar' pedal a few years back but it was garbage. This one seems pretty cool and sounds far better than the Danelectro pedal.


    EH has come up with some interesting ideas over the past few years... THIS, the POG, the HOG... as well as great standards like the Big Muff and Deluxe Memory Man.

    Line 6 Variax 700 acoustic. They are no longer made.

    That guitars have a variable set of sound settings and tunings. Take a look: http://line6.com/variaxacoustic/index.html


  10. The Line 6 Variax 700 acoustics were used in a more electric guitar fashion. Those were played through his effects rack / amps.


    Check about 4:18 into this video.



  11. Probably a direct box and that ran through some reverb at the mixing desk.
  12. Since this is kinda like a general guitar topic:

    Tried a few semi-acoustic guitars at the store today. Really liked the Epiphone Sheraton, unfortunately, the one they had wasn't in the color I wanted it in, so I ordered one:
