U2 - One - Guitar Cover

My guitar cover of One by U2. Fender Stratocaster + DigiTech RP 80.
People ask about effects and the tone, so here it is:
This song is pretty much "only" about finding the right amount of gain that suits you and the EQ to get the "dark" tone. No effects except of some reverb and compressor. A tube amp is much better than Digitech of course, but anyway , the preset of my RP 80 is: Pickup/Wah - OFF, Compressor - 7, Amp Model - G2, Noise Gate - G5, Chorus/Mod - OFF, EQ - b5, d6, t2, Delay - OFF, Reverb - H4. As for the guitar - I played the bridge and the middle pickup, the tone knob in the positin 10

Really great cover - perfect guitar I've got the same :) -. Is it possible to send me the solo details, I have some difficulty to retrieve it. Thanks.

@BatigoalC Hi, I just sent the tab to the UltimateGuitarTabs. I will add the link to the description of the video as soon as it appears there. If you want it earlier, you would have to send me your e-mail address since I can not add an attachment to a private message here at Youtube.

Great cover—the technique and tone are excellent. Do you have a tab you could share?

[HappyStrat24]

@met1138 I don't have a tab for this, I learned this by watching several live versions, sveral youtube cover versions and then I somehow put together what I liked. I only made a tab of the little solo at the end, as someone requested. If you would want that, let me know and I would send it to you. But i recommend you to download the video from youtube and use a VLC player, which allows you to slow down the video without changing the pitch. That is a great help when learning a song.

I've seen a few cover videos of this, Ithink you're the only one who has got the intro tone zeroed in - that dark, slightly overdriven sound. Did you have your guitar's tone pots rolled back or is the tone from the FX? Which overdrive model do you use - is tone rolled down?

[HappyStrat24]

@tootone76 just the RP80 directly into the comp - not the very best tone solution, I know, but it works good enough for me :-)

@HappyStrat24 Thanks, I've just send you my email in a private message. Regards.
