    Well, I never.

    You know, I like Miami. I think it's a good song.

    Songs where all 4 members shine

    I'd say the studio recording of Bad.

    Lesser seen Edge guitars...

    I agree, a Firebird VII would be a good fit.

    Post your rigs!

    Been a while since I updated this. Years ago I added an Epiphone Firebird VII, and I have another Vox amp, a small Yamaha amp, and a Pod X3 Live. But the biggest change by far is the Sho-Bud LDG pedal steel that my wife bought for me as a complete surprise for my birthday last month. Holy crap.

    Lemon - Tremolo

    The shape of the tremolo plays a big part in the sound of Lemon too. I've always figured he was using a square shape, with reverb taking a little bit of the sharpness off of it: Hearing Effects: Modulation 2 (tremolo, vibrato, pitch shift, wah-wah) | Easy Ear Training

    Criminally underrated and under appreciated songs

    This one. This song gets shit on all the time and I think it's great.

    Oddball Covers That Just Might Work

    And on that note, I might be able to imagine U2 doing "November Rain."

    Yeah I agree it's funny, but it just might work.

    Oddball Covers That Just Might Work

    I think the intro to Thunderstruck is well within Edge's wheelhouse. That could be easily modified to use a delay, then he'd hit a looper to loop that through the rest of the song, and the main heavier guitar would just be overdriven without delay with that loop playing in the background.

    Oddball Covers That Just Might Work

    I heard "Thunderstruck" on the way to work this morning, and it occurred to me that U2 could probably do a pretty good cover of that. No one in the crowd would expect it.

    About amps

    He used some form of Hiwatts for parts of ATYCLB, I think. For UF and Joshua tree I'd guess that the AC30s did almost all the heavy lifting, with one of the Fender amps doing the shimmer effect. That's just a guess though.

    PRS guitars

    I will say that I have seen even critics of PRS guitars say that the PRS SE One is an all-around nice guitar, most likely because the aesthetics of it are quite a bit more restrained than many other PRS guitars.

    PRS guitars

    I have never played one but I've never really come across anyone that had anything bad to say about PRS from a craftsmanship point of view. All the criticisms I've read usually center around the look of the guitars.
