Shimmer Effect?

I'm not sure exactly, but my guess is that you'll have to input all the settings manually. Not hard, just annoying and time consuming. You might also need to compensate a bit for the slight differences in the patches due to firmware changes.

Edit: My patch is a modified version of Lincoln Brewsters atmospheric patch, and he has his XT patches on his website (lincolnbrewster.com). I believe the one in questions is 17c. I believe I changed it by bringing down the modulation depth and feedback times on the delay. For the EQ, I cranked the treble and presence to 10, and brought the bass to 0 (my guitars are very warm sounding, and the patches sounded muddy until I did this). The gain levels of the amp and OD I changed to taste (ie: I don't remember exactly what I did to them.) I may have edited the post EQ a bit as well, but I don't remember exactly how. I also use the noise gate, unlike LB. However you do it, this will get you pretty darn close to what I'm using at the moment.

I get my xtlive power supply tomorrow hopefully so I will have to try this...

For now I am going to use that and my laptop as a practice amp. My guitars run the gambit from bright to warm. ( I do prefer bright)

Anyway, thanks.

I use a verbzilla and have created some close sound-alikes to that u2 sound...

Wow! I finally got to listen to this yesterday. It sounds like there is a bit of everything in it. Phasing, delay, reverse, delay, pitch shifting, harmonizing, reverb, etc. The cool thing about the Axe-FX is that it will show you the effects it's using for each preset and even the order that they're in. If you're really curious as to what the effects being used are you could ask someone (even the guy that posted the video maybe). I'm wondering if "Crystal Echos" is a preset or if he created the patch? Let us know what you find out.

The "crystal echoes" sound is a patch on the Eventide H series, the axefx is kind of modeling it. It's based on grainular delays and pitch shifting. It takes short samples, delays and reverses then pitch shifts them.
