I know that feeling all too well!
What guitar/pick-ups do you have? Sounds great.
It's a Custom Shop Strat, I believe with the '69 pickups. I can get a very similar sound (maybe even better) with my stock, MIM Classic Series Strat, however.

Quick A/B clip between my rig (guitar into axe fx) and U2's recent live in Paris. I'm still missing that extra crunch in the 2KHz area but I'm getting much closer than I used to with previous wf's. Any ideas on how to get that crunchiness on the hi mids without losing definition??
My thoughts exactly. It sounds really good. I mean if someone told me it's Edge playing I would completely take his word for it. Stop obsessing! I know I've done the same with Petrucci sounds. It eventually led to shooting IR's with curve spectrum comparisons of Petrucci's real tones and using the exact same mics and cabs he used and trying to nail the exact same sound as closely as possible.... on the other hand that was how Cab Pack 7 came to be so maybe the obsession takes you somewhere.all i think after listening to any of these clips is "they all sound great and i'd be more than happy using any of them". sometimes the obsession can blind us to the fact that it already sounds fantastic....is that last .001% really that important??
@edo, according to the specs. the signature Edge Strat comes with .009 strings. Is that true? If so, before you recorded your clip, did you replace them with .010's or .011's?
Thanks
The challenge is that we have no idea of the fine details of what goes into Edge's signal chain. In addition to whatever effects he is using, who know how many amps and AxeFX's are being used to create this sound? At most we can get 2 amps in the Axe. He has 4 of them and as many amps on stage (if not more). To get as close as some of you have with a single Axe is nothing short of amazing.
Cool! Do you have a link to the source of this information? I would like to read more about his signal paths for other songs and tours.
Thanks! Any ideas on The Fly from the Elevation Tour? BTW, you were once asking about Vox IR with a 58 Mic. OH seems to have been listening:

Yes I think it came with 9, I didn't even strum it and put 11's before plugging in
That's what I figured, I can hear the difference. I think that's one of the reasons why the high-E sounds like it does on your intro. riff. Sounds like your hitting a taut telephone pole guy-wire!
@edo, how do you achieve that 'live' tone, do you use a reverb block at the end, if so, which one? I presume you're using stereo cabs, panned left and right?
Thanks
Not sure about the telephone example..!!
