I think the riff in Magnificent is one of Edge's best. I remember hearing it for the first time and thinking, "Holy crap, this is the best riff he's written since Streets!" Maybe not, but it's still one hell of a riff with a great tone.
What effects do you think Edge is using for the different parts of the song?
He's playing his Gretsch Country Gentleman live, so I assume that's the main guitar he used in the studio. My guesses are:
Intro Fuzz - some sort of octave pedal. In the studio maybe the WH-1 going down?
Main Riff - Delay (dotted 8ths) plus Boost? (SDD3k? FA-1? Something else?)
Verse - Delay with Shimmer
Solo - Slight drive and delay. Could be a clean boost or compressor, or a TS-9/equiv.
Anyone know for sure?
