Interesting site, but most of the info is dead wrong.

Is the basic premise wrong, with using 2 delays in stereo, with long and short delays?
Love to learn more

There are parts of the premise that are right, but the explaination is wrong. There are songs that it has been confirmed that Edge does use two dealys.
None in stereo. The are use either to establish a rhythm like you hear on Bad or to thicken the guitar like on Gloria.
Also, it makes it confusing when you listen to the examples that the person who did the site plays and he is not playing the songs correctly. His Version of Bad is just that BAD.
On Where the Street Have No Name he doing some hammer on thing which is wrong, the rhthm is wrong. You cannot try to say that this is difinitively what Edge is doing than not play it right.

Stereo
Hi,
Absolutely Edge pans his delayed signals in stereo on the albums (when playing live, they run everything in mono obviously).
The stereo'd delay gives the guitars their big 3-D effect. Some songs are mono, like Bad. Pride is stereo (that's one reason it sounds so big), as are Still Havent Found, Walk On, and many others, although most are subtle. Listen to Indian Summer Sky, you can easily hear there's 2 delays, one panned left, one panned right.

But they are not done that way live (stereo) which is what some of the stuf on that site is based on.
On the studio stuff there are so many guitar tracks that, in my opinion, it is impossiable to slow down a clip of the song to the point it is mearly screeching noise and gleen any information about a specific guitar track let alone that there is a 5ms delay set to 3 repeats. It is an interesting concept of analysis but, in my opinion, it is a concept that does not work.
In addition, several of the posted delay times on the site are wrong. Miracle Drug, Streets...
