I came across an interesting video by guitarguitaruk demo’ing the TC Electronic Flashback delay to achieve the Edge/U2 sound. Sounds like he’s representing quite well. Seen a few comments stating to just get the Nova Delay, but for the price point on the Flashback, it’s really quite affordable getting this sound.
