I know some of you "Fractal Spotters" have seen the green glow behind him for some time, but today we officially welcomed The Edge to the list of artists using our products. I've been working with him and his tech Dallas for several years. Our projects have spanned the album "Songs of Innocence," for which we received a thank you in the liner notes, the rig for the promo tour behind that record, the rig for U2's 2015 world tour, and more. We've even had some amazing "jams" where he'd play and I'd operate Axe-Edit. Most memorable may have been "Bullet the Blue Sky" at S.I.R. where we set up individual pan, reverb send, volume, and wah pedals (with the power amp literally on "ten"). Though there was also an epic filter sequence in Dublin once... and that time we listened together to the stems of New Year's Day... Anyway, here is definitely a guy who can give your sound design chops the ultimate workout. We at Fractal Audio Systems are proud of this day, of the work we've put in together with Edge and Dallas, and that we've become friends through the process. Here's looking forward to many more sessions, innovations, and inspirations together.
Perhaps more widely than any other guitarist in history, the Edge is known for his signature sound—a combination of musical elegance, an exquisite core tone, and innovative effects—especially echo. For him to trust this illustrious sonic asset to the Axe-Fx II expresses that it meets his exacting needs, but also demonstrates that this guitarist is a veritable force at the forefront of both music and technology. We're proud that he chose to be listed here. www.u2.com
