Signal Chain

Recording Notes

• The Edge is known for using a combination of multiple delays to create his signature sound.
• The Korg SDD-3000 was a key component in the signal chain, providing a distinctive pre-amp coloration and digital delay.
• The TC Electronic 2290 was likely used for longer, more ambient delay textures.
• The Vox AC30 provides a clean, chimey tone that is further enhanced by the effects.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean amp tone from a Vox AC30 or similar amp.
• Use a Stratocaster-style guitar with single-coil pickups.
• Experiment with multiple delay pedals, including a Korg SDD-3000 or similar digital delay, and a longer delay like the TC Electronic 2290.
• Set the delays for rhythmic repeats that complement the song's tempo.
• Adjust the delay feedback and level to create a spacious, sustained sound without becoming muddy.
