Have a listen to this below. This is what the delay from the riff sounds like when I just hit a short sharp stab on an A minor chord 5th position. Are your settings close? This speed of delay will only work for this riff or a riff at this same tempo bpm. If you want to work out the correct delay speed for one of your own ideas, check out this delay time calculator here.
Many guitarists want to know how play guitar like The Edge. There is plenty more that The Edge plays on guitar, but the dotted eighth note delay is the core of his sound. Have fun with this riff and use these ideas in your own playing if you enjoy how it sounds. There is so much more you can do. Be inspired by The Edge and make your guitar playing unique just like he has done with his.
That is how you hear it anyway and then you feed that into the longer modulating delays that often show up in U2 songs between and ms. This is how and why the sound is so lush an more complex than you are able to get with just delays running in parallel.
Stilwel: The key is in the mix of the 2 delays. A single repeat. No Modulation, just a straight up digital delay. This is strictly there to add a percussive attack to the sound. The single repeat keeps things tidy, un-muddy, and un-fubar'd I like it fast and shallow, like a vibrato.
At BPM, ms is a dotted 8th note delay. To emulate Edge's delay sounds, the trick with the AxeFX is to understand how the filters in the delay and the modulation waveform work.
This will make each repeat slightly darker than the previous one and prevent the low end from getting muddy. Then you want a Triangle waveform for LFO controlling modulation. One other trick, which I've not seen in any of the various postings of what Edge used on any particular live date but I hear in the Rattle and Hum era a lot, is inverting the polarity of the delays.
This also cuts the low end out a lot and gives a more crystalline sound. Easily done in most digital rack delays these days. How would you go about doing that? As to the polarity it depends on the rack device - it's a software setting most of the time.

Firstly, for overdrive, the Edge likes to use the Boss GE This is not an overdrive pedal, but an equalizer that he uses to raise the volume of his overdrive and distortion pedals. He never cranks up the overdrive too high on these, but they are an important part of his sound on many songs.
Of all the guitarists famous for using delay pedals to great effect, the Edge might be the most iconic of them all. However, for those of us on a budget, getting an older Korg model or even a different delay can be perfect, if you have the ear to try and match the sound that edge makes with your own!
