U2 delay settings for guitar

[Tapdogg]

Well, in my search for U2 guitar specs, I came across this file. I threw it on my site so you guys could use/enjoy it.

So, grab your delay pedal and have fun with it.

excellent, tapdogg

once I get a delay pedal, I will definitely try it out... But it will be a long time coming, since I got no moolah at the moment!

Edge is a genius--that fact is both frustrating and inspiring!

Tapdogg, may I ask permissssion to forward this webpage of yours to a U2 list I join?
(it's u2sound)

 

[Tapdogg]

Actually, I believe that is where it originated. My roommate hooked me up with that file and he's on U2sound all the time.

So, if you throw it on that group, tell them thanks because it probably came from them.

They use delay on every song? Are you sure?

I think the link is dead, does anybody else have any delay ideas? I've been reading tabs. Sorry to make this brief, but does 400 to 420ms for the Streets intro sound correct?

I can't really help you with exact times...but I will suggest getting a delay with tap tempo...it's great! The key to the streets intro is stereo delay...there's just NO other way to nail it. To play U2 you need a stereo delay or a rythmic delay on basically every tune. Sorry if this hasn't been too helpful...but if you're really into getting U2's or U2-ey sounds...check out the line 6 dl-4. It's a lot of money...but there are just sooo many options and you can twist and turn knobs and get so many killer sounds. 3 presets plus a tap tempo switch. This thing is it when it comes to a versatile delay pedal.

I wanna dance, dance, dance in the dirty rain....where the streets have no name...

I've been using 350ms for the studio version of streets and 331ms for different live versions with a few repeats set. Sounds great!

I cant see the page. What does it have? Anybody could mail it to me as text (if it has several parts, just the main, to see what it is all about)? Thank you. rafita01@hotmail.com

The delay time for Streets is 365ms.

I'll be the judge of that.
