The Edge

We talk to Tore Mogensen and James Santiago about the UAFX pedal project – its success, challenges and future

Based on the U2 guitarist’s 1973 black Strat, it has been played and signed by the man himself, and it comes bundled with 3 UAFX amp emulator pedals

The guitarist confirmed to us last year that he's using three UA amp modelling pedals for Fender and Vox tones at the Sphere

Even better than the real thing? The U2 guitarist reveals to MusicRadar what he's using

“You can hear the strain in his voice,” says the guitarist, who says reworking 40 tracks for the Songs Of Surrender album taught him to “serve the song by serving the singer”

"We are turning the amps on," he says of next U2 album

U2 might have redefined the spectacle of a live rock show but the Edge and Bono were in their element playing stripped back acoustic tracks for NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series

But drummer Larry Mullen Jr will not be joining them for their 2023 Las Vegas residency

And he wants Mutt Lange to produce it? “The approach. The discipline. The songwriting discipline. That’s what we want,” says the U2 frontman
