Back in 2006, I was right right up in front of one of the ramps that the stage had and before the show, Dallas was checking something, walking up and down the ramp while playing Edges guitar ( the cream colored telecaster he would use for Vertigo) , I’m guessing he was checking something to do with the wireless transmitter, but the cool thing that I want to mention is that I called Dallas’s name and I guess he was surprised for someone to know and call out his name, so the stoped and turned around and came to me, I said “ Hey man, can I have a strum? “ He said “go for it, quick!” So I got I reached my hand and he put the guitar down so I could reach and I got to strum the guitar . I know it’s not a big deal, but it was very cool for me.
The Edge is all about tone....that’s it. He’s not flashy, he doesn’t shred, he just is a master tone down to the guitar pick. If you haven’t seen this band live you’ll be blown how good they sound compared to the albums. Even outside too, it’ll blow you away. I was shocked how well The Edge juggling all these guitars and dancing on all these pedals sounded while being on time....it’s insane.
I feel the same way about Edge. One of the stupidest things I ever read on UA-cam was when this dipshit said that Edge was no good and that anyone with that much gear would sound amazing 😤😤😤😤😤😤
@@pabdiary I used to work in a rehearsal studio and this is clearly untrue as I used to see guys come in with £5000 worth of Les Paul and Amps and Gear and they still sucked . People think buying the best gear means they can skip actually practicing...
SN95 Mustang Garage I saw U2 20 some years ago at a Stadium gig in Washington DC one evening in the fog and light rain....talk about setting a mood....that show moved me....there was magic in the air....and this is coming from a “rock” guy....believe me when I say music can be magical🤙
My favorite part of Rig Rundown's are when they get to the amps (Axe Fx excluded). Love guitars, but so much tone is created in the amps and speakers. This tech didn't disappoint!
Back on the day when I was a U2 groupie, and followed them around, Dallas Schoo was just as loved & nearly as well known as the band themselves. So when he'd come out to do Edge's guitar check just before the show began, he'd get just as many screams and shouts of his name as the band. 😀 He was so sweet & cordial, he'd nod & smile at those closest to the stage (obv his hands were full), all while remaining humble, with the understanding that the REAL show was yet to come. Nicest guy in the world, and FIERCELY loyal to the Edge, just what you want in a superstar guitar tech! (and he obv loves his job!) 👍🎸
Rhett Shull I’ve been chasing that Unforgettable Fire (ac30 broken up chime/bell) anthem tone for 20 years with real ac30s + rack sdd3k or tc2290, line6, fractal, etc. I can get close but not quite.
I have a schematic and specs of the original Vox 1 when i was working with Vox to build him a backup amp for the 360 tour. We used an ac30cc2x back then as a base and tweaked it to his specs which is pretty much similar to his more recent Vox 1 replacement which he uses now. The reason why his Vox 1 sounds different from other 60s is because its a late 68 model which sounds different from the early ones. The cabinet is the original cabinet that came with the amp, but it has an incorrect backplate from pre 67. In the 360 tour backup, we used a MM transformer, changed some resistor values, speaker recone to vintage spec (cc2x came with Chinese blues), and added the mid knob per his request to adjust mid eq. In all honesty, his amps are definitely modded, but nothing too different than what you can buy off the shelf. You can see the amp we built him behind his two ac30s from that tour.
John is a star in his own right - I always get stoked when I see John on these, because he's the best. As far as the small differences between sounds, some people just seem more in tune with them, like The Edge and Eric Johnson.
This is a mobile Super Museum of studio all time greatness. The best part is this museum is commanded and literally played by one that lived through XX Century rock history and wrote a part of it. In no time it won't be the possibility to witness things like these anymore. We can actually be THANKFULif we see it with PERSPECTIVE.
I met & hung some w/ Dallas ("really big" Shoo) 42 years ago in Boulder when he worked for Firefall. Just as dedicated, sweet & cool then, as he appears to still be here. It's kind of infectious, isn't it John (I see you catching his glow - it's shiny on your face man). I sure hope he's compensated large (& I bet he is - deservedly so) for that singular spirit - it's priceless!
Yes... The Edge is fanatical about his tone but realistically take an off the shelf Vox ac30cc2, a memory man delay and a tube screamer and that will give you the same chills the edge will give you. (Assuming you can play). The Edge himself stated the same thing.
If you play am off the shelf AC30 you will sound like an Edge copycat, the CC2 sounds NOTHING like his Voxes. Dallas has stated Edge hates normal voxes, why else do you think they got them to build custom copies of his 64?
This is a great episode. One thing that baffles me is how well curated and authentic Edge’s guitar tone is. But U2 uses SO MUCH backing track live that in the end is just really expensive guitar-Karaoke, isn’t?
I just love this guy, I want to sit and talk gear with him all day Poor dude and the sound levels... Why aren't they using iso boxes, again??? You could make them big if The Edge is worried about the cabinet vibration. Also, The Edge sounds a bit neurotic. I can appreciate that LOL.
He needs to be because The Edge is nuts. His OCD has OCD! BTW, the full version of this came out last year, you should watch it. He goes over his guitars, pedals, picks (it's a secret) and everything else.
When he says the "Walnuts" is that the Gibson 335 walnut from the 70's? I assume he is talking about semi-hollow's because the next thing he says is Gretsch...
get the distillers Ryan Sinn the bassist, Brody Dalle vocals and guitarist, and Tony Bevilacqua guitarist what amps do they use what cabs do they have what string company they use show their instruments
To bad Edge didn’t tell us all about this himself. I like to hear it from the player. Mayb he’s to big to talk to John. Or mayb busy. Could go either way. He is a incredible player and song writer.
agreed, although likely he was at some kind of press conference. I have known people who have worked with the Edge within the music industry, apparently he is a pretty easy going dude. I can't see the "too big" aspect. Can totally see the "too busy" aspect.
Here's perhaps a silly question: when they say they turn the amps to three or eleven, do they mean the digits on the amp or do they actually mean "three o'clock"? Thanks for any help!
Assuming those are ac30HW is the bright switch on the normal channel you can find on all HW series. But Edge’s HW must be modded...he don’t use normal channel but I think this is working in the top boost circuit in some ways.
Great video, but I have 2 issues with what's said.... 1 Milton Keynes is not in London and 2, Milton Keynes is NOT in London!! To give some Americans an idea that would telling someone that New Jersey is in New York...!!
With bouffant and theme of '80s barnett we goo oh yes and recall the old times when drug and thought adn with interst and ambition we take it that we're all different and at the same time very similar ! That's great we know how to fling and whirl and make believe we're all so young and got so much time left.... Take them all from the others take them all & keep them TILL YOU DIE !! IMPORTANT...
Ahh man man man man man ahh man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man ahh man man man man man man man man man man yeah man man man man man.
Milton Keynes is in Buckinghamshire 50 miles outside London, and Vox was founded in 1957 the Uk in Dartford Kent before being bought by Korg Japan. The guy needs to look up his info before talking.
Completely anal about the slightest difference in tone. ( in the full length video Dallas even says Edge will adjust pickup pole pieces between gigs ). Yet not one person in the crowd would even notice. Edges tone is amazing - but it seems like a lot of it is for the sake of being Uber picky.
As a guitarist who is also a tone nut, it's more than just being picky. Even if the audience can't the difference, he can. When he has the tone right where he want's it, it's more inspiring for him to play. That inspiration comes through in his playing, and that is what the audience can hear.
@@victormaniaci2104 Agreed. It's funny how many people will say "the audience will never hear it". Well what about the person who plays the guitar hours a day? It's for them, and that's who the tone was always for.
@@craiger2399 So he plays a $2,000 hand wired amp and is super anal-retentive with every little tone ingredient but has a $20 digitech (tone sucking) pedal on his board? Got it. The Edge is The Man.
Well, his ears won't comply with anything else apparently. I now see this as mobile Super Museum of studio all time greatness. The best part is this museum is commanded and literally played by one that lived through XX Century rock history and wrote a part of it. In no time it won't be the possibility to witness things like these anymore. We can actually be THANKFULif we see it with PERSPECTIVE.
Mark Homiak Not necessarily, it’s just the classical music approach. There’s still room for music to evolve, a have many of their songs from “touring” them. I like to extract all kinds of tones from just one amp and guitar and a bunch of pedals, it I’ve really learned that there’s art in practices I didn’t even suspect... and I keep learning
The tones he will be remembered for long after we are all gone were the early tones when he didn't have all that excess thats the irony in it. Again though if i was a multi-millionaire I would take everything and the kitchen sink with me. Vintage everything and 2 guitar techs haha
No, but he might and he has to enjoy it too. I dunno, I use Orange amps and I've tried the modellers and profiling etc and they just don't sound like my orange amps being driven. That's not to say these modellers aren't fantastic, they are, but sometimes its just not the same. That said, if I could get a modeller to sound and feel like my orange amps, I'd switch!
I find it hard to listen to people who start new sentences in the middle of talking. " Check it out - so he - somethings not right - you know he'll bring it - and - you know so it's - we'll lokk at it - so yo know - it's not - could we maybe." just finish a sentence XD
Dallas is the epitome of audiophile, guitar snobbery. I've heard him claim that capacitors in a wireless system make a difference and now talking about the tolex on an amp having *any* impact on anything other than looks.
I love The Edge, but why on earth doesn't he just come to terms with one of the amazing profilers (Kemper, Line 6, etc,...) and the simplicity they offer for this kind of range of tones he's doing, especially if these are already no on-stage. He could make everyone's life easier by doing this and no one in the audience would be able to tell a lick of difference.
there is nothing like the tone of an old tweed amp. if you can afford to carry around multiple amps along with a repair guy then you just have to go with the best tone possible. of course when i gigged on friday i brought a newer tweed amp. too nervous about traveling around with a hard to replace amp. at home I always play vintage.
Mikael Lewis I’m totally not a profiler/molder guy, but it’s kind of absurd the way this rig is set up. If you’ve already decided to remove the amps on stage and go through in ear monitors, it makes no sense to keep a dozen vintage tube amps beneath the stage anymore. The sound at this point is indistinguishable from a pro level modeler/profiler for this purpose. Most other acts at this level have already made the switch for touring. It’s odd for an artist who’s so fluent in technology would cling to a setup from the 1950’s for amplifying live performances at scale
rob oliver....I guess it’s all in the ear of the beholder. I hear a difference between my tube amp rig and even the best modeler. You know, whatever works for you, I guess. This setup seems to work well for the Edge, so why change it? But I guess you know more than a really high profile 40 year pro touring veteran.
@@MrRadialdrift well lucky for you. here in murrica we don't believe in science, so we are all basically fucked. don't be so pompous, not all of us here wanted to do the wrong thing.

I would not wash my hands for the rest of my life after touching one of his guitars.

The other Edge of tone. No words to describe the artistry... of the whole production. Awesome. Thank you. ⚓️
John: “the Edge drinks water?”
Dallas: “No, no, no...”
John: “does he breath air?”
Dallas: “No, no, no...”
That sounds like Consuela...
@@javiceres Haha - I got it!
I love this tech's passion about being a very important part of the process and also love Carl B's enthusiasm during this interview.
This guitar tech is so cool, really a major contributor to the Edge’s sound!!
Dallas is one of the best techs in the business!
This is a real passionate tech. Great episode. And John is such a good reporter every time again.
Dallas is a real guitar wizard and The Edge is a sonic genius 🎸🎸🎸... Greetings from 🇩🇪 to 🇮🇪!
The edge is a genius ? lol more like the most overrated guitarist in music
@@thomassummerhill6357 No that's Tom Morello.

The greatest guitar tech to one of the greatest guitarists 🎸
2:27 The Ragin Cajun speaker rules supreme! I can expect the prices of these to jump up a bit.
@Bryan Charles agreed. I popped one into my Princeton non-reverb and it's loud enough to gig bars and clubs without a mic.
I had one in a Super Champ combo and it transformed that amp!
I only use Rajin Cajun's and they are amazing...😃😃👍
Agreed. I had a Fender Hot Rod Deville 4x10 with those in and it made that amp sound so much better than the stock speakers!!
Thank you Premier Guitar!
What a great guy.
Backin up backing up backin up. Cuz my daddy taught me good.
There it is THAT MARSHALL SOUND!
More Edge stuff !!! I love it
There's no need to ask this guy questions- just uncork and enjoy.
You know your band has made it when you have not only this much gear on the road, but the crew to haul and set up all that gear, night after night.
They have about three stages, when on tour. Insane!
Preston Sucks At Guitar best live gig I’ve ever seen.........and I have been lucky to have seen a LOT of bands!
John word count: 13
Great stuff. Lovely amps. The fabric look is so classy.
Love that guy 😊
He’s got a Guitar Emporium shirt on from Louisville! I bought my last guitar there.
This is a great episode. One thing that baffles me is how well curated and authentic Edge’s guitar tone is. But U2 uses SO MUCH backing track live that in the end is just really expensive guitar-Karaoke, isn’t?
Great episode 🤘🏼
Milton Keynes is not in London BTW, it's about a 50 miles away
I loved this one..
I just love this guy, I want to sit and talk gear with him all day
Poor dude and the sound levels...
Why aren't they using iso boxes, again??? You could make them big if The Edge is worried about the cabinet vibration.
Also, The Edge sounds a bit neurotic. I can appreciate that LOL.
This dude is a wicked guitar tech ?
Yes as evidenced by being tech for The Edge.
He needs to be because The Edge is nuts. His OCD has OCD! BTW, the full version of this came out last year, you should watch it. He goes over his guitars, pedals, picks (it's a secret) and everything else.
Christopher Rowe yeah but there are still a lot of good techs who are douche bags this guy seems like a rad bloke who also knows his shit
Jeffrey Rude yeah I’ve seen it before, your not wrong about the edge having. Ocd far out he must be pretty tough to work for
Great video! Ximre bought an Achillies 5F2-A Princeton tweed, that's an Amazing amp!!!
Ah man. Must be a nerve wracking job. I can totally hear it in his voice and mannerisms, but Edge seems like a nice enough guy.
Once Dallas is released by the Edge, I will take him on my gigs. Obviously, he will have a LOT less equipment to worry about...
When he says the "Walnuts" is that the Gibson 335 walnut from the 70's? I assume he is talking about semi-hollow's because the next thing he says is Gretsch...
is it just me or did Jake E Lee show up at the end?
Time for an The Edge Deluxe Tone Master.
I like to see the gear the band is using.

Old tweed amps sound killer on about 7. Unfortunately they dont last very long at that volume
Tweek from south Park got himself a touring gig
Rightttt mannnnn... you wanna do a line mannnnn.
*what's the "weight" switch on his AC30 at **6:09**?*
Assuming those are ac30HW is the bright switch on the normal channel you can find on all HW series. But Edge’s HW must be modded...he don’t use normal channel but I think this is working in the top boost circuit in some ways.
No telling. Label indicates it was a custom build by vox or someone.
Makes it heavy....or light
Great video, but I have 2 issues with what's said.... 1 Milton Keynes is not in London and 2, Milton Keynes is NOT in London!!
To give some Americans an idea that would telling someone that New Jersey is in New York...!!

... but seems it was enough to become a legend, I guess.

I love The Edge, but why on earth doesn't he just come to terms with one of the amazing profilers (Kemper, Line 6, etc,...) and the simplicity they offer for this kind of range of tones he's doing, especially if these are already no on-stage. He could make everyone's life easier by doing this and no one in the audience would be able to tell a lick of difference.
there is nothing like the tone of an old tweed amp. if you can afford to carry around multiple amps along with a repair guy then you just have to go with the best tone possible. of course when i gigged on friday i brought a newer tweed amp. too nervous about traveling around with a hard to replace amp. at home I always play vintage.
Bryan Mannoia...these Kemper guys just don’t understand, do they?
Mikael Lewis I’m totally not a profiler/molder guy, but it’s kind of absurd the way this rig is set up. If you’ve already decided to remove the amps on stage and go through in ear monitors, it makes no sense to keep a dozen vintage tube amps beneath the stage anymore. The sound at this point is indistinguishable from a pro level modeler/profiler for this purpose. Most other acts at this level have already made the switch for touring. It’s odd for an artist who’s so fluent in technology would cling to a setup from the 1950’s for amplifying live performances at scale
rob oliver....I guess it’s all in the ear of the beholder. I hear a difference between my tube amp rig and even the best modeler. You know, whatever works for you, I guess. This setup seems to work well for the Edge, so why change it? But I guess you know more than a really high profile 40 year pro touring veteran.
If you don’t get the tube allegiance than I can’t explain it to you. You either get it or don’t.
burned out roadies/techs are all the same
Am I the only one that finds this totally absurd and pointless...
Yeah imagine that with Kemper in reach.
Don't worry, you're not...
The edge is bald.
@@parlance.electricco oh my, astonishing!! Poor Edge.
And this is relevant how?
Clean stages are ugly, I want to see crap everywhere. U2 was never a good live band to me. Much more a studio band.
Bla bla no sound examples
So PG are just recycling odd videos now?
do you know of any band on tour right now?
@@keseysvenisonchili Yes in fact, because my country did the right thing so venues have opened.
@@MrRadialdrift well lucky for you. here in murrica we don't believe in science, so we are all basically fucked. don't be so pompous, not all of us here wanted to do the wrong thing.
@@keseysvenisonchili Where was I being pompous? Your smart arse comment instigate this conversation.
Brain damage.
Hear the wood. Really??? Sounds like a bunch of cork sniffing to me
really liked the first couple albums, the rest...meh
First
Is this guy absolutely wasted or is it from years of drink and drugs?
there's nothing wrong with him. he's a professional that's passionate about his work. some of us should be so fortunate.
If that guy was a wasted junky do you think he'd be working for a perfectionist in one of the biggest bands in the world
He sounds pretty on the ball to me and very knowledgeable
