225ms Delay Base Tone (Short)
- Download Tone
For almost all the really old songs this should work well. I have a fairly crunchy base tone, more so than the 330 and 440 basic tones. The STOMP setting is quite over driven and best used just for solos.
These are the songs I use this tone for:
-
Desire
For the solo at least, this delay is great. I think this is possibly the most difficult U2 song to really get the correct rhythm, its almost a Bo-Diddley beat. Its easier on acoustic than electric I have found. -
I Will Follow
For this classic just leave the delay on and you are good to go. Even works over the middle section. -
Out of Control
I sometimes turn the delay off for the verses to make it punchy, but you could leave it on throughout. Put the COMP and STOMP on for the solo to give it some extra ummph. -
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Recently I have been preferring to play this song with a shorter delay. It makes the main riff sound a little more urgent. -
God Part Two
This is mostly bass and drums until the second verse. But with the delay on you get a good big sound, I sometimes also use the WAH on this track. -
Red Hill Mining Town
Delay on throughout. I have to play very lightly on the intro to make it come through clean, but this delay works well for the verses, and I use the STOMP to play a solo in the vein of Atom Heart Mother Pink Floyd cause the chords are very similar to a few songs on that album. -
The Electric Co.
Delay on throughout, this one is a fast song! I use COMP to make the pre-solo section bigger, then hit STOMP for the actual solo which increases the gain but softens the actual tone a little.
