A Place To Bury Strangers' mainman Oliver Ackermann is also the head of Death By Audio, the Brooklyn-based effects pedal company that has handmade pedals for acts like Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, My Bloody Valentine and now, U2's Edge.

U2's new single, "Get Your Boots On" was based around a riff written by Edge when he was toying around with Death By Audio's Supersonic Fuzz Gun pedal.

Here's where Edge shouts out Death By Audio, Secret Machines and School of Seven Bells........

You always manage to find -- in every record -- a pieceof technology that you engage with immediately, and that throws up a song. "Where the Streets Have No Name" came out of your dabblings with the Infinite Guitar box, and this time you mentioned your Death By Audio pedal...

It's this particular kind of 21st Century distortion. Guitar is such a versatile instrument, but it's very easy to get in a cul-de-sac in terms of how it sounds. I love anything that just gives it a different personality and this particular set of distortion pedals I think, are a different colour. It's like a different personality and that, for me, is a great jumping-off point. I used Death By Audio's Supersonic Fuzz Gun on the song "No Line on the Horizon," and a couple of others I think. It was Ben Curtis who turned me onto them. He's one of the Curtis Brothers from Secret Machine -- he's got a new band now called School of Seven Bells, who are pretty interesting.

Anyone notice that the vocal melody to "Get Your Boots On" is nearly exactly like the Escape Club's "Wild Wild West". Check out both songs after the jump......
