The Edge Tone
I always thought it was one delay, or at least I’ve always gotten away with using one delay to do Edge sounds.
I thought he demonstrated how he does it in the movie “It Might Get Loud”?
Do you have a Korg SDD-3000? Precise settings won’t work unless you have the same delay.

Well, finish watching the movie, and make some space in your rack.

Re: The Edge Tone
I'm not an Edge expert nor major fan (but I am a tone whore).
Perhaps this will help unravel at least some of the mystery:
Infinite Guitar
Apparently this was mentioned in the liner notes off the Joshua Tree album.

Re: The Edge Tone
Those numbers must be for different manufacturers delays? Seems way excessive. I survived the 80’s doing U2 tunes with just 320ms, 340ms and 400ms. On one tune I needed to drop to like 160ms or something, but that was it. In storage I still have my notebook with all my original Korg SDD-3000 settings. I’ll dig it out and post when I can.

The numbers are from die-hard Edge tone chasers (U2 online community) and their findings.

Re: The Edge Tone
I think in reality it’s somewhere in between. I’m confident not everyone on that list was matching tempos with controlled studio gear. I think we all know how die-hard tone chasing fans can be idiots using the wrong gear based on inaccurate information and way over thinking what the guy actually did.

Re: The Edge Tone
I was really into getting this tone for a few months. This site provided some info, but I think it may be slightly over the top. The basic concepts are there now.
