Pics of U2's Edge guitar rig

I remember seeing these a few weeks ago somewhere and I cant find them. It reminded me of a Steve Vai set up but twice the size. http://www.vai.com/Machines/livegear_whitesnake.html

I remember at least 2 6-8 foot racks plus all of the amps but I cant find it!

BTW now i know why i can't find any 2290's anymore :D

I did know he uses a lot of line 6 gear, but never thought he would use the pods!

Thanks!! That's still not the rack I was looking for tho... I remember it was at least 2 racks. I think it was from a pretty recent tour.

Not sure if it's intentional, but I noticed his Pod Pro's are set to Line In...
Got me wondering how they're being used?
Maybe just as FX processors?

with a rig like that you can't run it all at high-z guitar levels, you need to bump it up to +4dB first and the into those gazzilion efx, the ams, eventides etc wont like anything else. i'm sure there's a preamp somewhere....

luv his sound. luv their musc

np: zooropa

i note there's a custom electronics linemixer. i bought one of those once (it came with some other gear) .. what a peice of flimsy shit, sounded like poo and was technically as good as a behringer... no worse.. quite similar to my guitar playing abilities

what amps is he using? AC30s?

This rig I posted is from the elevation tour, but his rig doesn't change a lot i read in an interview. The right part of the rack seems not te have changed in years. I thought the only addition for the latest tour was a couple of those Line 6 DM-4 units, which are exclusively made for him by line 6.

He uses Vox ac-30 Top Boost amps.
