Does anyone know what kind of guitar, and what kind of sound or effect is used for the background, always backing tracked guitar in "One"? Shows up for the first time at 0:58 on the album version, always present in the live versions as well but it's very clear if you watch both Bono and Edge's guitar playing that neither of them is playing this particular riff, which is essentially the same riff played over and over, with either a slide or a 2 semitone string bend.
Just wondering does anyone play this riff when playing the song live, and if so, how? And am I correct in thinking that neither Bono or Edge has in fact ever played this in a live show?
Here's an ad-hoc rendition of it using Garageband, appalling quality and non-quantised as it's 4AM and I put absolutely no effort in but should clearly identify which guitar part I speak of:

Using Edi's One backing track as a guide if anyone was wondering. Any ideas?
