The Edge

Can be seen micing the Fender Tweed Harvard Amp. Original article from October 2009 here.

Listed as part of The Edge's "wireless guitar system" in this Music Radar article.

Can be seen micing his Vox in this image. Also mentioned by Guitar Geek as part of his 1981 guitar rig.

Used on the iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour.

The Edge’s vocal headset is a Shure Beta 54. He has two Vox and one Fender Harvard guitar amps miked with Shure Beta 58As, and two Fender Deluxes miked with Shure SM57s.

Used for The Edge's backing vocals on "Get On Your Boots, as stated by producer Declan Gaffney.

"When we were in France, we got this great vocal sound that Bono really liked, which was a [Shure] Beta 58, going through a 1091 and then an LA2A, into Pro Tools. I even A/B'ed the different 58s and Neves, and found my favourite LA2A, to get the best ones. I'm very proud of the vocal sound. I added a bit of compression while he was singing, and he got excited by that and adjusted his voice accordingly. When we were at Olympic, the vocal chain changed a little. I normally have two or three 58s up in a room, and at Olympic one of them would go through a Neve preamp and the LA2A, but the other would be Neve and then Distressor, and I actually preferred that sound. The LA2A sounded a little too thick. The Distressor had a sort of hardness that balanced the thickness out better. Edge's vocals were also recorded with one of the 58s.”

Beta 58As were also used to mike The Edge's Fender Harvard amps on the iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour, as stated in this Mix Online article.

Mentioned by producer Declan Gaffney.

"Most of 'Get On Your Boots' was recorded in Dublin by Richard Rainey, and the basic backing tracks were done live, by the whole band together. (...) Edge's thick guitar sound is entirely from the live band session, recorded with two Royer 121s, one on his Fender Deluxe and the other on his AC30, and the mics went through the Neve and then an LA2A, though it's not doing anything, it was just there for the sound. When recording Edge's cabinets, it's almost always a 121, or a Sennheiser 409, occasionally a 57. I record completely flat, because Edge will have found a great guitar sound, and you just record it."

The 121 was also used on Songs of Experience, as stated by engineer Math Bishop in this ProSoundWeb article.

“With The Edge I’d always have a Royer 121 and a [Shure] SM57 set up on the amp, and on these sessions I ran them through the Focusrite ISA 828."
