U2 Live in Berlin 1981 excellent sound quality

My favourite era for The Edge's live guitar tones was 1981-2, as demonstrated in superb quality here live in Berlin in 1981 with tunes from Boy and October using the black Strat and the Explorer towards the end. Plenty of chorusy short just a bit longer than slapback delay from the memory man and that distinct driven tone from the Vox. I've read some suggestions that he boosted it with a Boss FA1 FET boost or even a Boss OD1?

    Superb tones and I’m pretty sure he used an OD1

  • Cool concert. I’ve never seen that before. Impressed to see Adam Clayton popping and slapping!
    I’m guessing that if it was Fa1 had to be on all the time? I think he just used the memory man (men) and a dyno comp, tho? The overdrive sounds like a wound up ac30.
