Another one of my favorite U2 songs and one of their first. This is not intended to be a note-for-note reproduction of how Edge plays it, but rather my preferred version based on recent live performances. I think it is reasonably close.
Signal path/recording specifications for those interested:
Gibson Les Paul Custom
Fractal Audio Axe-Fx Ultra
Vox AC30 (w/ Aracom Power Rox PR150-Pro attenuator)
AC30 is mic'd with a Shure SM57 (directly in front of the Blue Dog) and a Sennheiser e609 Silver (placed about one foot from the front of the amp to record both speakers). Both mics were simultaneously recorded into GarageBand via an Apogee Duet. No additional modifications to the audio were made within GarageBand.
Thank you for watching.

Pretty good mate! Just check your tuning a bit next time.
-
Fucking A, this is amazing! Is that you singing too???
-
good stuff
-
Nice playing but all this crazy expensive equipment and yet your tone would still sound better with just a Memory Man through that amp. Guess that's just me though. :-)
-
ps..is your ac30 vintage?
-
Love that tone!! And the set up you have! Where did you find the backing track? thanx!
-

what pickups are in the Les Paul?
MichaelD8393 10 months ago
@MichaelD8393 The pickups are replica T-Tops from manliusguitar. I was able to order them with the open top gold covers installed.

Awesome tone and playing David! This has to be the best sounding covers of this song on YouTube.

Awesome job, David! Nailed it. Only wish I could see the entire fretboard :)

@kfliegner Thanks, Karsten! I'll work on keeping the entire fretboard in frame for future videos.
