Maximum Edge U2
Helix
A few notes to start: 1) I run my Helix with 4 stomps on top and 4 Snaps below, and in 10 switch mode. You'll need to run like this to tale advantage of this patch 2) It is IMPOSSIBLE to do an all-in-one U2 patch. edge would likely need 2 Helices 3) That doesn't mean I can't try. 4) I don't know how to change Suggested Pickup to single, but.... SOOOOO - this patch is based around 4 main U2 settings based on 4 songs: Beautiful Day, Pride, Where the Streets Have No Name and Vertigo, and they're in Snaps 1-4 in that order. Moving through 1, 2 and 3, you'll notice more and more delay on each. So if you want to do an earlier U2 song like Sunday Bloody Sunday, start with Beautiful, as that has less delay than Pride and Streets. If you want to try Elevation, start with Vertigo as that more drive on tap. The 4 stomps on top give you options for Drive (like the Chorus for Beautiful Day), a Boost+Delay (good for a lot of Edge's solos), Ambient Verb (which brings in a Particle Verb) and More Reverb, which just adds a longer decay and higher level to the Chamber reverb which is the core for all of the patches. Hitting the Mode button and going into 10 switch mode is where this becomes flexible. You have 2 more drives, one is the Rat (which provides the Fuzz for Vertigo as well) and one labeled End of the World (figure it out). You can raise the pitch an Octave, add in a Simple Delay (which will give you an approximation of edge's multiple delays bouncing off each other), a Tremolo and something called One Rotary (figure that out too). It doesn't cover everything - it can't. But unless you're in a U2 tribute band, I'll guess that you can use this for most of your Edgier needs.
