Which songs would be the easiest U2 songs to cover?
tpsglick2424 said:Yeah, streets is also a very easy song...
The Fly is easy?
I never tried it
craigp said:the thing with the fly is ya gotta have the right tone, typical with most of edges guitar work really, easy to play, hard to get the right sound

My guy has a good amp with a lot of effects, and he intends to be pedals. What do you need for The Fly and Streets?
tpsglick2424 said:You could use the Pod XT Pro rack for 95% of edge's effects..Even the fly..
The ones that have a wah pedal in them are not in the Pod..So maybe even 98%...
But it's like $400
I don't know for The Fly, you probably need a Korg A3. For Streets a good stereo delay is critical. With modulation delay if possible. Ideally a Korg SDD-3000 or a TC-2290. Preferably both. With two Vox AC-30 amps so you get optimal use of the stereo effect.

The Pod saves you thousands of dollars for the same kind of sounds you would get on other machines..
i always thought cover songs are supposed to be a little different from the real thing -- these guys aren't a cover band
We're going to do some earlier stuff, which doesn't require as much effects, right?

A simple distortion/overdrive pedal, a simpel analogue delay set to 225 bps for almost every song and an amp.

that's ~225ms delay, not bps. modulation delay helps too.

I completely disagree. Think Johnny Cash's "Hurt", or even Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah", which was then covered by Rufus Wainwright... You're putting rules on making music, which is exactly what rock and roll is NOT about. Poignant covers are sometimes the most drastically altered, filled with the covering artists' passion, soul, charisma, personality, and musical strengths. Star Sailor actually did an acoustic/stripped cover of "Streets" (strumming was in Half Time) - try finding it somewhere online, and listen... it actually worked.
PS... trying to figure out how to properly quote! sorry!
