The Edge's Delay Settings > Walk On (105 bpm)
Here's the sample clip I studied for this song (it's slowed down 4x maintaining the same pitch and matches the waveform in Figure 1)



Figure 1: Waveform of the sample clip


  • This is the most likely signal path:
       Guitar -> Signal split to A/B:
    
         A -> 290ms (1 repeat only)  ==  1/8 @ 105 bpm
                  (with modulation, about 70% of the inital signal) -> amp #1 -> panned right mostly
    
         B -> 420ms (1 repeat only)  == 3/16 @ 105 bpm 
                  (with modulation, about 70% of the inital signal) -> amp #2 -> panned right mostly
    
    

Delay 'before and after' demo: (Remember, it's an acoustic guitar and I'm only demo-ing the delay settings, not trying to sound exactly like the record!)
