King of dotted 8th delay also referred to as the 3/16th note delay. He adds slight modulation and there is a second delay called a slapback that is added to it with another pedal. This setup is used in most of his delay based songs. Keep in mind he did all these in the late seventies when they were using drum and echo machines !! A true pioneer and a great musician indeed.

U2 didn't use a drum machine until probably Achtung Baby. As for early delay, he was using an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man Deluxe. A real finicky unit that had to be manually adjusted each tune. By Unforgettable Fire, he was starting to use more rack mount equipment and may have had the Kord SDD by then (but definitely had it for Joshua Tree). I don't use any slapback or modulation, just an old Boss digital delay pedal, compressor pedal, Vox amp, Strat, and the blue Herdim guitar picks, and it is dead on for Streets and Pride.

Haha seriously! But it's a super easy song when you strip away the delay. He's playing pretty straightforward chords like D, Dsus, A, and Bm. The main melody he arpeggiates is a Cmaj I believe. The secret to the song isn't the chords, it's the delay and the Herdim blue picks.

0:08 For all of you nerds out there - you can see it's a Dotted 8th (1 rep) and a Dotted 8th (7 reps) together. That's 360ms (I've measured this audio at 359ms and that's how he sets his Korgs) - which is a Dotted 8th at 125 bpm.

@@ordinalkirk oh no it's not that easy I'm afraid. So for an album song played to a click it's easy, you just tap Tempo or measure or discovered the grid and BPM by the clear transients. With this I found out the section where you can best hear the delay, ideally something that has a clear transient, and measured in Protools the distance, that you can just read in MS

You can get the sound without breaking the bank... you need: A fender with 5 way pickup selector Use the “quack” neck position #2 of 5 A delay with dotted eights setting A compressor pedal An EQ pedal An optional chorus pedal A bit of reverb A tube amp with a good clean channel you can can overdrive just a bit You must have the German Blue Burden picks he uses. He uses the scratchy side of it. It’s essential to that arpeggio sound. Look up the eq and delay settings. Play with your amp till you get it sounds close to a Vox AC30 as possible.

Luca Fogliati if you’d seen enough interviews with him, you’d know that “giving to guitarism” is not what he’s about. He’s said on numerous occasions that he sees himself as somebody who’s role is to support the singer and the song. There are probably plenty of better guitarists, but what matters at the end of the day was whether the songs are good. And from that perspective, he’s contributed a great deal.
