I cant find this anywhere....

That fuzz soudn that Edge uses sounds so... full. It seems like a total n00b question, but sometimes you just have to ask.

What does he have to get that sound?

I am not too familiar with what he uses for distortion/fuzz, but I need to have whatever that is. That sound is great... Like I said, it has a certain "full" sound that I haven't heard from a distortion.

The second more direct question is, what the hell is that effect? It can't be a wah, it is too mellow. You see him on the Chicago DVD pushing a pedal in tempo with the song, to my ears, it sounds like a phaser, but I have never heard of a phaser being controlled by pedal.


Anything, anyone?

Thanks.

.........So I read not evena few threads down bout the Rab Fuzz....... I feel like an idiot.

From what I've read the Rab fuzz is something he only used for the Vertigo tour. On the album it was the Electrix Filter factory, a 19" rack mounted filter.
Besides those he uses a different distortion during the verse and pre-chorus/chorus. Probably a tremolo during the more quiet bridge part.

Could be a whammy pedel on the intro

its a kay fuzz pedal which was put into another casing
and called the rab fuzz ...

if you have a pod xt you can get the same type
of effect sound using a Expression pedal to
control the sweeps on the fuzz octo or big muff
setting ..

perfect example is in the video el_milagro
posted thats a pedal sumone made for sumone
and it sounds great but another alternative
is the pod xt/pro/live with expression pedal
