    Delay Settings?

    I can't fine good delay settings (specially for UABRS version).
    Is It 1/8 dotted?
    Different delay during the song (first part, solo, "this Is The Edge part)?
    Anyone can help?
    Thanks.

    Edge's setup wasn't as sophisticated back then - you're probably looking at an Electro Harmonix Memory Man set to about 1/4 note with the level low and the feedback high. He probably kicks on a compressor for the slide part, which affects the character of the delay as well. https://www.guitar.com/rigs/edge-u2-...and-gear-setup

    Actually, in the video it looks like he walks to the back of the stage and turns up the amp before the slide part starts. IMO he's not really going for clarity - it's two Memory Man pedals in parallel set to 1/4 note-ish, then summed to mono to sound big and atmospheric. The clean, clear echos were still two years and a castle away...

    Gloria is 146 bpm so 1/4 note is 411 msec.
    So I'll try this with low level and high feedback.
    Is it right?

    411 msec, low level, long feedback sounds pretty good.
    It's amazing how delay level and feedback regulations change the sound.
    I thought it was a matter of delay time....I was wrong.

    I see the Edge's Delay site we used to use before all this info started making its rounds is down...http://www.amnesta.net/edge_delay
    I know Gloria was on there. Oh well. Dang I'm going to miss that guy's research. If I remember correctly (which may not be accurate as I'm getting older) but Edge was playing those old songs at 225 slapback timing with extended out feedback. ???

    If 411 sounds good, go for it I say! Whatever works!

    In this video, The edge uses the same preset for the chorus and the outro (preset 3), but the delay on the chorus seems short (like 210ms) while that of the outro is longer. Ideas? Thank.

    Same as usual... 1/8 for intro and main riff (after 2-3-4) 205ms
    Harmonics, and outro (including the part after the base solo and This is the edge) 1/4 411ms
    The slide solo is 1/4 note too if I remember (I am not in front of my axe fx)
