He lost me at sentence 3: "Even before he started using a delay pedal, like on Boy".

Um, practically every U2 song ever makes heavy use of guitar delay.

Boy was U2's first album, so the sentence suggests Edge was using delay before he started recording U2 songs.

U2's Pre-Boy recordings (1978/79) have a very different sound because they mostly don't use delay:
