U2 & Guitar Gear: Q & A

Originally posted by KieranU2I was going to get the ME-70, so let me know what it's like.

Originally posted by Mr_TrekThe Tonelab just lost. It has tap delay only. And the Boss can have double delays.

That makes the choice easy for a U2 fan. Sorry VOX, I did like your sound.

So you have chosen already? 70 or 25?

I was wondering what the right humbucker for a really sharp but clean tone would be?
What comes to my mind is the Goldtop Edge favors, what are its humbuckers and would any of these cut it?

Axe-Fx II and The Edge


Hello all,

Wanted to share some cool news with you... We recently spent two weeks in a Dublin studio with The Edge, exploring the Axe-Fx II. Together we dialed in sounds -- amps, cabs, delays, and more -- working both from U2's original recordings and Edge's live rig, also taking the time for some totally new creations.

Edge is not only a great musician, but a true virtuoso when it comes to using technology as a creative tool. This made for a really intense and enjoyable time, and the results were exciting and inspiring, especially as U2 prepare to begin work early next year on some new material.

It was a unique opportunity and an incredible experience, and we at Fractal Audio look forward to how the story might continue...

PAF seems to be the better option. A high output isn't a good option.
