From How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004). How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is the eleventh studio album by Irish rock band U2. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Explorer through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for U2's other songs from How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
