Is anybody else still having problems with the "Sorry. This passcode has already been used and reached its maximum allowance" error? I have only used my code for 2 tickets, and am getting this error. FanFire says it's not their fault, UNLVtickets says it's not their fault. Trying to get GA's...

It does require some fooling around, but the details of creating a patch preset can be found around the net (U2 recording Yahoo group). I no longer have the IPS33b (sold it for a Fractal Audio Axe-FX), but it was much easier to get a good shimmer out of it than after hours of tweaking on the...

The DHP-55 does not do a good shimmer. The 33 and 55 are totally different machines. I had a DHP-55 and sold it to get an IPS33b (same as the DHP-33).

The Dunlop and Rocktron look the same, but I have read many places that it is a Rocktron Wah housing. After all, it doesn't really matter as the guts in it are the Kay Fuzz.

The original is made of orange plastic and, as those who have the original know, is not the most sturdy pedal. To live up to the demands of touring, it was rehoused in what I think is (was) a Rocktron Wah pedal.

The Rabb Fuzz, or Kay Fuzz, looks like a wah pedal as it is rehoused in a wah pedal. He is not using a wah pedal on the intro on the Vertigo tour. He is, rather, rocking back and forth on the Rabb Fuzz. I have a clone and I can nail the Vertigo tour version while rocking it back and forth...

The Rab Fuzz was rehoused by one of U2's tech's Rab McAlister. The actual pedal is a Kay Fuzztone. They are no longer made, but you can find some people who make clones (or happen to score a used one on ebay). I have a clone and it is dead on for the intro for Elevation. It is the only pedal...

They both *used* to be Alpine White. That is what happens to the Gibson Alpine White color over time; it yellows and looks cream. My LP Custom was made in the mid 80's and it is halfway between the Alpine White and cream color now.

I am not sure if the FilterFactory was even used during the Elevation tour - it was in his rack but I think the intro was sampled as nobody was playing it (they were walking on stage as it played). During the Vertigo tour, it is just the Kay Fuzztone. The original Kay Fuzztone and Edge's...

The new U2 Sound is a forum now. I am a member of it - you can find it here: http://www.u2sound-forum.com/forum/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi Another really great resource is the "U2 Recording" group on Yahoo! Groups. Great people and a lot of great discussions...

No need to piss on my circus ;) Ya, he probably didn't use it. But it is a nice thought to think that he did. It was a fresh, new pick that I handed him, so ...

I can't beleive this auction is now at $154. I have one, but would never part with it. I, also, have a green Herdim that Bono uses. My best win is one of Edge's blue Herdim picks that he actually used. I was front row in front of Edge on the second show in Boston in October. I play guitar and...

To my knowledge, the only reverb used live is 1) mixed in a the desk and 2) used for his shimmer treatment, which he uses a wet plate reverb. The Lexicon reverb unit in his rack is used just for shimmer. Please correct me if I am wrong. He has used the Syphonic preset on the Yamaha SPX90 unit...

I was, actually, standing right next to him that night. He had a marker with him and asked the security guard about getting it back. The security guard took his marker and took down his information and told him that he would do what he could about getting it back. So, yes, I can confirm that he...

Sorry, I have been to more than a handful of U2 concerts and was not aware that the teleprompter was used for his speeches -I thought it was only for the songs. Please forgive my ignorance. But, I am sure that there are many here who did not know this either. I mentioned the use of the...

What he was looking at was the lyrics. If you sit next to or behind the stage, you can see Bono's teleprompter. His right stage monitor is actually a teleprompter. It is used for every song. And I just discovered, unfortunately, that it is used for all of his stories. I saw the teleprompter...

If I had not been to the Boston show on the 3rd, I would have thought that the show on the 4th was great. The problem is that they just did not change up the setlist a great deal. I know that they usually don't, but with a few exceptions (Crumbs, Stuck) the setlists were VERY similar. They have...

Yup, still Arcade Fire. I was at TD Banknorth Garden last night and they piped it over the PA right before COBL.

Generally, holding a spot is frowned upon, especially if you are holding it all day. But, it all depends on the people standing behind you and around you.

Actually, I am wrong. His Irish Falcon only has a single cutaway. But this is not it.

Nope, that is his vintage Gretsch Country Club. The Irish falcon has double cutaways and actually has a falcon on the pick guard.

The Irish Falcon is Bono's green guitar. It is a Gretsch White Falcon (or black) with a green paint job.

Damn. Well, maybe there will be a kind person selling outside for relatively close to face.

Box office doesn't open until around 11 or so. They didn't drop tickets (only a few) until 1:30pm. I heard they dropped more around 7:30pm and had awesome seats available then. A guy I met in line went back in line later and got some sweet loge seats.

I predict UTTEOW. Dallas was tuning and doing sound checks with the Les Paul gold top last night. The gold Top has been used in the last 2 tours exclusively for UTTEOW. I think it may have been on the set-list for last night, but scrapped. I think we should see Saturday, if not on Thursday.
