    Ok, i thought he tried axe fx 2, as these rumours appeared second half last year, right? THE axe fx 2 was already there, and i don't think fractal hands out the ultra with fx 2 available.

    But, when i heard him try it, it sounded like that preset to my ears. Its one of my core presets to use for u2. But i'll have Ã* go Ã*-b testing, that can give a totally other view.

    Those records were made in 2010 apparently that's why I suppose it was Ultra. But of course maybe it was Axe II pre-version or something.

    I'm kinda thinking vox 2 is heavily modded .. I think the mod was done by Bonos boot when he kicked it in during one of his tantrums when he owned it I think Dallas rescued it you can still see the hole in the grille cloth

    EXACTLY! Note the IMGL clip. Same thing. The AC30s are fairly thin or it's his guitar. This clips are awesome!!!

    I´ve also amplified the very low conversation between The Edge and Joe about their summary of the test and it sounds promising. This was recorded prior to the Fractal Audio boys spending a week or so with the Edge recently setting up his AXE FX II´s.

    Hope this is useful for you to tone match - You will have a headache though as VOX 1 and VOX 2 are really different in tone - I´m almost convinced the big drive songs use VOX 2 now after listening to the AB test, as Edge will probably be looking after his flaky Frankenamp VOX 1 for the Clean Songs.

    All the best

    Rewddog, can you pls make the clip downloadable? I would like to use it to model both of his amps. ;-)
