Great tone and playing. I have always been a bit mystified by the Pride tone. Yours sounds spot-on to Edge's live tone, but there is something about that original tone that is just razor sharp. It's punchy but incredibly clean and articulate at the same time.
Very good job.
Yeah agree. Like i said earlier, to me a key part of the pride tone is the strat tuned whole step down with low action. And I'm pretty sure he's using 3 amps for that tone (vox 1 being the cleanish part, vox 2 being the crunchy part, and vox/box being the fat part).
The vox #2 is the darker sounding vox, right? What is the vox/box?
The vox/box is a 90's korg era ac30 mic'd in an iso box under the stage at very hi volume (= much more bottom end and crunch/compression). All of edge's vox patches use vox 1 and vox/box, some use vox 2 as well (i.e. pride, bullet the blue sky etc).
Ah, right, thx.
That would explain why edge has so many axe fx in his rig, as he needs/wants so many amps on at the same time (if h modelled them).
How did you mix these in your preset?
I've finally come up with a convincing dual amp patch for my U2 tribute (Achtung Babies) and recorded a few tunes to hear what it would sound like in a mix through my rig.
All fx are from my pod hd500x (yes, I know.. i just didnt want to start programming the fx on the axe until I got the core amp tone right!).

Hi Edo, i can't believe this, i've seen you and your Achtung Babies live 3 times, and my wife has seen your shows so many times she can't remember
Grat band, the best U2 tribute band in the planet, no joke... :encouragement:
Thanks! I've been with them since 2010, so if you've seen us since then, that's me! lol
btw, if you're into U2, this is our website with our new promo: Achtung Babies
@Jacques & Troopy, as far as I know, he still has vox 1 and 2 (although one should have been replaced by the current vox hw with white tolex), fender 1 and 2, and fender harvard. I suppose one axe is for 2290 delays only, one axe is for shimmer only (into the fender harvard), one axe is doing vox in a box and one is doing multi fx. That is just my theory though, no proof - yet!
I can't wait until you try the tuner in the Axe-Fx
Great tone!! Good Job!
Great tone ! what size did you use for the Blue cone/cap RWs .
Thanks
