Best way to rule the nut out is to put a capo on and see if the sound improves.
Thanks for the preset, I can't wait to study that in the morning!
Grt idea, thx!!

I just unlinked it and uploaded a new one in the original message (I updated the link above). Try that one and let me know if it worked.
I downloaded both.
the bassman sounded great
The AC one the delays sound a little unruly compared to the original one you posted (maybe something got messed up on my end)
You might want to check both out
attached are the two I downloaded
Thx, I'll check that. Both have .11 gauge. I'm always half step down because most U2 stuff is nowadays. I'll change strings and see what happens. May have a different brand on the good guitar. So strange!!!
Axe-Fx II firmware just keeps getting better. The Pride comparison came out better than Bad for some reason. Interesting how one comparison can sound closer than another even though it's the the same setup in both clips.
I'm still working on getting a little more of that "real, lifelike" crispness and attack that Edge gets in his bass notes (A and D string). There is something about the way the strings react in this particular clip of Bad. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
I learned something important this time around. I was able to get closer to the target tone by not focusing on the names of the cab models. The cabs are just EQ adjustments for me going forward. Even though the Blue and Silver speakers are in most AC-30s (especially the amps Edge uses), I decided not to focus on the type and just scrolled through all of the cabs until I got the tone I wanted. I ended up settling on the 4x10 tweed bass. It was amazing how much closer it got me to the Pride tone in this video. Funny, because this cab doesn't have much bass at all.
NOTE: THERE IS NO TONE MATCHING USED HERE.
I definitely made sure the amp was unlinked. I just tested it and uploaded it one more time in the original post. It worked just fine like in the video. So not sure what you are referring to about the "unruly delay." Try the latest one in the original post. If ok, pls delete the two you posted so people don't get confused. Thx for testing them!
Just got home to try the Pride-preset out and it's really awesome! Did my own comparison to Edge's tone from "It might get loud" and it's just amazing how close it is. Had to play Pride a couple times, and it brought a big smile to my face - the AxeFx is a wonderful tool in itself, and the added bonus of this community and the sharing of the combined talent of people like Michael makes it an incredible experience for newbies like myself!
Michael, will you share the rest of your U2-presets with us on U2 Guitar Tutorials - Introduction as you update them with FW 10.02?
I agree, It was Michael's site that finally made me buy the Axe in the end . You can learn a lot from from the preset videos as Michael explains a lot of what hes doing . It takes a while to go through them but this has helped me have some understanding and be able to makes changes to other presets . If he does update everything using FW 10.2 It will probably take a while . He may not have the videos showing all the settings in future probably just the preset to download . I hope I am wrong though .
Well crap, now I need to get a (good) strat...
