Where the Streets Have No Name

The defining textural guitar tone of the 1980s. The Edge's approach on Where the Streets Have No Name is built on rhythmic delay: a dotted eighth note delay synchronized to the tempo creates a cascading, shimmering pattern where the delayed notes fill in the gaps between picked notes. The result is a wall of chiming sound that seems much more complex than what is actually being played. The Vox AC30 provides a bright, chimey foundation, and the delay does the rest.
