I'm pretty sure that it is a Jim Dunlop Crybaby Wah. According to Pedal Nuts, Edge used a standard CryBaby. I use the standard model and when you combine it with a heavy overdrive you can really dive into that "Fly" tone.

BEAT ME TO IT !
I ran into this clip and was gonna use it on here as a reference on how to work the wah... were you at this show also by any chance ?
Lots of new info everyone thx for the input !
great, great info guys. thx vm. thx for the detailed explanation darren and the great short video you attached. I knew about the strumming part, but honestly was not aware that (if done right of course) the difference in the sound is so huge.
keep on rocking sleepy, this song is made for it. I like your tone and don't take the guys too seriously about the wah. its a bit like teriyaki sauce... you can never have too much of it LOL. (just kidding of course, but I overdo the wah all the time, simply because I like it so much. guilty as charged)
No, but I was at the 2011 Chicago show. Definitely on of the coolest experiences I've ever had.Originally Posted by Aaron23

LOL yeah, the wah is definitely the 'ranch dressing' of effects--now I just gotta keep from drowning my salad. Thanks everybody for the help--I'll be working on incorporating all this--hoping to have a new clip up sometime next wk. I've been working on the strumming today, and I think there's a "sweet spot" for parking the wah, just before it's all the way in toe position...
Awesome--was that the one where they surprised the audience with 'One Tree Hill'? Wish I'd been there. I did get to see U2 in Nashville last summer--the night Bono gave his freakin' Gretsch awayNo, but I was at the 2011 Chicago show. Definitely on of the coolest experiences I've ever had.

Yeah--I couldn't believe it. Perfect ending to a great show. And that's my last off-topic postOh, to the blind guy?
sleepyrnr,
Not trying to gatecrash your thread! I was working on The Fly earlier and I recorded the main riff - putting my money where my mouth is:
Chain is Fassel Wah (parked at 80%) > Classic Dist > Analogue Phaser > Strymon Timeline > Vox AD120VTX (using speaker emulation outputs)
That's with the bridge pickup on a Strat with Kinman Woodstocks.
Work in progress but let me know what you think. Really let loose on me haha

MUCH closer to the tone
im relearning the strumming pattern for the main riff... its a lil tricky but a do hear a drastic difference. Id say its more "chunky" if you will
