Staring at the Sun(full-band) edge's tone?

[jumpmanst]

IF theres one thing i'm sure about with edge's tone on staring at the sun, is that there's no delay. Does anyone else know what effects he uses? U2sound.com is down, otherwise i'd look there.

oh, i bet there is delay! live i'm pretty sure he uses delay. the tone is really really fat and juicy, maybe a lovetone meatball? i know you need a humbucker gutiar, and probably a hollow body one like a Gibson ES.

The guitars in that song sound heavily chorused, and in the intro riff, detuned (maybe even by applying a heavy chorus).

There's a movie on that site where the bands is sound checking SATS. By looking at that, I'm pretty sure he uses the same fender that he does on discotheque, I could be wrong though. Maybe he uses a humbucking guitar in studio?

I think it's actually a Fernandes you're referring to jumpmanst...
But I could be wrong!

Its a Fenandes Sustainer guitar on Discoteque (Mexico City), which is odd because I don't think he uses the sustain feature on that song

 

[discothequeLP]

i dont think that the Fernandes he used on Discotheque Mexico City had sustain on it.

I'm pretty sure it did. Didn't he use the same guitar for with or without you? I'm sorry but I don't have the tape here, so I can't check it out.

He uses a lovetone doppleganger...very cool phaser effect...
