What type of delay does the edge use?
Korg SDD-3000
Edge often uses the Korg SDD-3000 delay units; the TC-2290s, as used on ‘Streets’, are pictured above. Sending the different delays to separate amps allows more control when mixing the songs — you can vary the levels, or send 1 delay to the left and another to the right. Edge/U2 do this in a few songs.
What tuning does the edge use?
