having a bit of trouble indentifiying(sp) a few things though.:cry: Can anyone identify bits of the new rig?

I want to know what the thing labelled 'twat' does :stunned:

^ :laugh3:

can someone please post the picture it won't load for me :angry:

For some reason, I can't get the images to post right (which is why I was forced to link to them to begin with...) Sorry...:cry:

 

Left To Right On the Pedal Board:

 

Obsessive Compulsive Drive Fulltone

EH XO Micro POG Polyphonic Octave Pedal

I think he uses it in the solo of Violet Hill

Ibanez Tube Screamer

Thats all For now more information later!:)

The solo on Violet hill doesn't sound like the POG to me. I'm pretty sure the OCD is what provides. the main heavy distortion for violet hill. I'm almost positive the POG is used in the first part of 42. other than that, I'm still trying to figure things out....:worried2:

I think I've got it all figured now (apart from the custom made gear which is almost impossible to definatively id.

He has enough gear:laugh3:

"He has enough gear"

 

Only about 1/10th as much as The Edge. I'm convinced Edge's rig could fly to the moon and back!:laugh3:

so does his Pandora box control the different Rack units?

Also very interesting to see he has 3 seperate Wah Pedals...

Not all three are Wah's.

Also Volume pedal.

 

:stunned:

 

 

If I could, I would take that machine to a motel room and have sex with it

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Dont judge me:P)

two of the pedals are expression pedals, not Wah's. One looks like it's connected to the reverb pedal and the other is probably for volume

 

As for the foot control. I'm assuming Jonny does most of his onstage controlling with the custom Mike Hill switcher on the main board. However, there is a Voodoo Labs Ground Control Pro in the photo with the rack, But I'm guessing that's used off-stage by his tech to control his sound when he's away from his board.

Edges gear makes my head hurt... He has about 10 times as much as johnny yeah. He doesn't even have pedals on the floor anymore. He just uses a 'Pandoras box' to a rack that can eat johns for dinner.

 

Ever wanna get into Edges delay and stuff, google edges delay....good page in there somewhere.

Yes true, i watched a day in the life of the Edge that really opened my eyes to how much stuff he has, 47guitars on tour, technician with a computer who controls his sound and all his racks and amps

Poor Dallas. He has to retune every guitar depending on Bono's vocal key which he usual decides 10 minutes to show time....

 

Edge is a technical guy. Expect more new pedals on the new album in November.

Though Dallas said thats not the worst, He reckons the worst is when Bono changes the setlist during the show and he then has to scramble for the right guitar and find the right sound on the computer within 30 seconds

During the Vertigo Tour edge had 57 guitars on the road!:laugh3:

 

His "rack" is actually two standard racks linked together and places side by side to allow for the sheer number of units.

 

His effects switcher (circa 2005):

Are there also pics of Guy's pedals?

Wroking with Bono can be very difficult. Though he helps make U2 amazing. Johnny is slowly getting up there on Edge greatness. Maybe in 20 years....

"Are there also pics of Guy's pedals"

 

I've yet to find any clear photos of Guy's pedalboard yet, though it does seem like he has a fairly sizable board this tour as well. If I find anything, I'll be sure to post.

which pedals do any of you have from Jon's pedal board?

Anyone got the same model guitar or amp?

I have a 72 thinline, natural finish with factory standard humbuckers. Its not custom or anything like im sure his is, but it plays very nicely. Great attack and the neck is slippery slick.

 

I also have a Boss DD-5 (similar to his DD-3), a Phase 90, Line6 DL4 (awesome pedal!), MXR Micro Amp (which it doesnt look like he is using this tour), and the ProCo Rat distort. I also have a Boss Tremolo which he used to use in the early days but doesn't look like he does now.

 

I don't have a DeVille Amp although I want one or a Vox amp.

 

Some day I hope to save up for a Rickenbacker 620 as well (same as Chris Urbanowicz from the editors uses, similar in feel to the thinline). Pricey though...
