Can you get the U2 shimmer with the Axe Std?

[saffer]

Hi guys,

I'm in the process of buying an Axe Std from one of the forum members and I just wanted some clarification from some of the axe users;

I'd like to use some shimmer and delay similar to the U2 stuff thats been posted on youtube, as well as some 80's metal tones and very clean bright acoustic-like tones.
Will I be able to get a decent variety from the Std unit?

Also, could you point me to a thread that helps build the shimmer sound?

Thanks for the help

yup yup, just fine.... the shimmer effect you hear in demos is a pitch shifter that is also in the standard

you can use the crystals algorithm in the pitch shifter (feedback tyoe reverse)

or the Plexi shift in the multi-delay

to get that sound.
