So I just saw U2 in DC with a couple friends of mine who both play bass. Had to endure the “Doesn’t he just play eighth notes and the root?” nonsense about Adam. Of course I tried to defend him and say there’s more than just WOWY. I ended up putting together a playlist of what I think are his...

I was watching a video of With or Without You from this tour, and it looked like Adam was playing his old Ibanez bass (like the same one from the Red Rocks video). It's hard to tell, but it's definitely not a Fender, and I don't think it's a Warwick either. Looks like the headstock says Ibanez...

Saw a recent show in New York and noticed Dallas was running Edge's expression pedals for EBTTRT and Elevation, which I expected. I was surprised, however, to see that he was also rocking one during Mysterious Ways. I assumed Edge had an AutoWah, but maybe not? Anyone know anything about this? I...

Hey all! I ordered a TC Electronic Nova System, which should be in tomorrow, and I'm excited to try and get some U2 tones out of it. I had a M13, but to me the drives were too digital sounding. Hoping the analog drives in the Nova will be better. Does anyone have any experience with this unit...

Been a while since I've been on here... Does anyone know where in his signal path Edge puts his wah? Conventional wisdom says to put the wah before ODs, but I thought I remembered reading somewhere (maybe here) that Edge put his afterward. With a racked wah, he can probably move around the...

Hey guys, I'm getting tickets for the U2 show in Baltimore and have a question. Has anyone either had or heard of someone having their view blocked by the legs of the claw? If so, how bad was it? At Baltimore those seats seem to be closer to the stage, and almost more of a side-view than a...

So I'm about to replace the tubes in my AC30, and I have two questions: 1. What does Edge use? I think I remember reading somewhere that he used NOS Mullards, but they're fairly expensive. So... 2. What alternative tubes would you recommend? (Also, out of curiosity, how often do you find...

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...

One of my all time favorite U2 songs. Wish it had been included on TUF. Hauntingly beautiful... It's a really lush guitar sound; any idea what Edge is using to get it? It sounds to me like he's using chorus, but maybe he just put a lot of mod on the delay. I also can't decide what kind of...

During the 80s, Larry had a drum to the right of his racked tom (where many drummers put another tom). It looks like a sort of snare, but does anyone know what it was/what it was used for? I assumed it was the snare he used at the beginning of Streets (from PopMart through Vertigo he had a snare...

Rediscovering the forum has really killed any productivity I may have had. I am learning a lot though... Does anyone know what pickups are in Edge's Les Pauls? I assume they're different since he uses different LPs for different songs. The ones that come to mind are: Goldtop Custom White...

What pedal is Edge using for overdrive on Last Night on Earth? I sort of remember reading something about an EH pedal, maybe the English Muff'n? Does anyone know?

Does Edge have two delays going for Pride? If you listen to the beginning of Pride on the Vertigo DVD (Chicago), it sounds like he has two. I also think I read somewhere that he does that. Does anyone know what the two times are and if they're run in stereo or parallel? Also, any other songs...

Does anybody know where to get the single version of Last Night on Earth? Personally, I like that version better than the album version (stronger vocals, heavier guitars, etc.), but I can't find it anywhere (other than YouTube). I've checked iTunes, Amazon.mp3, etc., and can't find it...

I have an AC30CC with the stock Warfdale speakers. I'm thinking of getting new speakers, and I know the Alnico Blues are supposed to be the speakers for AC30s. I could get two of them, but I've also thought about mixing speakers. For example, some AC30s have Greenbacks in them (not sure which...

Does anyone know what pickups Edge is using in his Strats? Specifically the Black/White pickguard (the one he used for Bad, Streets, AIWIY during the Elevation Tour, and perhaps the same one he used when he played Streets with Muse). I assumed he only used one B/W one, but I read somewhere...
