Recording Notes

• The Edge is known for using a variety of delay and modulation effects to create his signature sound.
• He often blends a clean amp signal with a slightly overdriven signal to achieve a dynamic and responsive tone.
• Experiment with different delay times and feedback settings to find the sweet spot for the 'sunday bloody sunday' sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a clean amp setting on a Vox AC30 or similar amp.
• Use a Fender Stratocaster with the bridge pickup for a bright and cutting tone.
• Add a chorus effect to thicken the sound and create a sense of movement.
• Use a short delay with minimal feedback to add depth without washing out the notes.
