U2 is a legacy band and there’s nothing thats going to change honestly. They aren’t going to somehow recapture the punk rock energy of Ireland in the late 70s. That was nearly 50 years ago!
I’m not 100% convinced that even if Fractal has the best charts and graphs, it’s going to be the preferred modeler. I mean distortion itself was originally a defect. Low fidelity gear has a charm and tone that we now will emulate.
My guess is Edge is a gear junkie who tries just about everything and when the UAD stuff came out he got a really good sound out of it for his ears right away. And could easily swap the amps out for the pedals using the Fractal for effects.
