- Hi, I don't know all the effects that the Edge uses, but I can describe some of
- the sounds I've manages to reproduce :
-
-
- He likes long delays being played in a way to double the tempo. Just take
- a rather long delay ( let's say 400 ms = d ). And then play two notes regularly
- at a tempo t suchthat t=1.5*d=600 ms ; you'll ear twice as many notes as you
- actually play. Let's make a sketch:
-
- E and B: notes being played. e and b : echo of E and B
-
- ------- -------

- V V V V
- E . B e E b B e E b B e E b B and so on.

- If you've have managed to play this, perhaps you have recognized the
- introduction of "where the streets have no names". With a little training, you
- can play it all by playing E and B on the 12th fret, while you play the bass with
- your thumb.
-
- You can use this technique while you are playing chords in arpeggios, and
- make that way lovely backgrounds.
-
-
-
- In a song like Bullet the blue sky, he uses nothing but a bottle-neck and
- a heavy saturation. Bluesmen usually use this technique with a clear sound, the
- result here is very original, reminding you of "those fighter-planes". You just
- have to slip from the 12th fret forward the 1st.

- Happy new year from Nancy ( france )
