Letterman ...the Edge AC15 and fender tweed amps?

[XmasTree]

I believe that's what they were.
Anyone catch that?

i just saw ac30s and tweed amps, im pretty sure he never uses 15s. And his tone was killer the past two nights. Rumor was he was bringing a divided by 13 on the road but I have yet to see it.

That'd certainly be cool... seeing the Edge w/ /13's!

 

[XmasTree]

What is a divided by 13? delay?
..please explain, i've never heard of it.

I swear that Vox was smaller ac15 ??

 

[markom89]

/13 is an amplifier company. he (fred;the builder) makes amps for many touring/recording pros and i wouldn't be surprise if edge was using one.

On the tour in 2005 he had a ÷13 near his keyboard.

First and foremost, i"m not making fun of you for not being familiar with a company, that would be the epitome of douchbaggery, however, I think it's very funny that the first piece of gear associated with the guy is immediately a delay haha.

Love the edge, hate P&W music for turning me off on U2 influenced anything these days

Hate to sound like I'm clueless... what is P&W music???

There was a smaller amp on top of his AC30, that might just be a 1x12 AC30 of an AC15, I have no idea. I'd like to know when he uses the Tweed amps, his tone sounds like all AC30 to my ears.

Praise & Worship...
Every modern P&W song sounds like U2 was the major influence.

I like Southern Gospel and I dig that they are starting to sound more like high-powered- Brent- Mason- playing- in-the-band stuff haha but pop P&W is starting to sound all the exact same.

I just watched Monday's show... he is playing his usual touring five amp set-up of 2 AC30s and 3 Fender 50s Deluxes. I love how the tweed on the top Deluxe is so beat up and frayed, very cool looking amp. I know his AC30s are old and his Tweeds are from the 50s... I can't imagine how much he pays to keep these maintained and up and running. He's got the cash, but these amps must take a ton in upkeep.

I found this pic on flickr and was wondering... are those Vox speakers in his tweeds?!
...and what's that black head looking thing to the right on the road case?

The top one looks like a Celestion silver bell alnico and the bottom one has a Jensen.

I saw a youtube clip and he was talking about adding an old Marshall of some sort to the mix of amps... maybe that's it? But I'm such a Marshall neophyte I have no idea what the back of the old heads look like.

I'll bet it's an AC-50

 

[Rev2S]

Is the Marshall amp that the Edge is playing in the video "Get On Your Boots" just for show?

Really, why?? Once they've had a cap job, new tubes and drifted resistors and other components replaced, they'll continue to last for years wth very little upkeep requred.

I thought P&W meant Punk and Western!

Check out this clip... @ 2:25 he mentions the Marshall being a new acquisition, so I'm sure he's using it nowadays.

Really? I'm not that knowledgeable in the upkeep of the older tube products... that's good info to know.
