For instance, when it comes to The Edge's guitar setup, “We've always started out with what they used in the studio where it sounded great,” O'Herlihy says. “But when it comes to what we're doing out here, sometimes those things just sound too good and he's looking for that extra bit of distortion that he feels is part of the image of his sound. Sometimes, good microphones don't deliver that, but when you put a crusty [Shure] 58 in front of it, you don't have to do anything to it.”
Picking the right mic for the guitar amps turned out to be crucial, as the number of amps has doubled since the Elevation tour. “The Edge orchestra has finally decided to go from a string quartet to a symphony,” O'Herlihy says with a laugh. Three Fender amps have joined the three Vox AC30s — as well as the standby “Vox In a Box” that is now a part of The Edge's live sound — which makes things interesting for the crew. “The amplifier technology is all vintage and we just trust in God that it works every day when we take it out of the box.”
