What did Edge use for dirt...

Post by Jops »

at the Red Rocks concerts? I saw a vid a couple of weekends ago on tv and he was playing through JC-120's. Any one know what he was using? And please, sweet Jesus, don't tell me it was amp distortion :roll:

The JC's at that show were ONLY for distortion. The AC30 was the clean/delay amp. Dirt was either a Boss Power Driver (RAT) or a Boss Turbo Overdrive in turbo mode. Edge has always liked solid state amps for really dirty and fuzz tones. I do too.

JC120's .. i'll have to check that out :o ..
From what i'd seen, I always thought that it was a Boss SD1 and AC30 .. that was the drive setup early on.

That's why they call him the 'edge', baby
