  • www.premierguitar.com PG's Rebecca Dirks is On Location at the Chicago Theatre, in Chicago, IL, where she catches up with guitarist Joe Satriani before his 'Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards' Winter 2010 tour. In this Rig Rundown segment, Satriani walks us through all the gear and equipment he's using during the tour. Also, he talks about how this rig differs from the one he uses with supergroup Chickenfoot.
    For his effects, Satriani uses a Vox Satriani Big Bad Wah Wah, Vox Satriani Ice 9 Overdrive, Vox Satriani Satchurator Distortion, two Vox Satriani Time Machine Delays, a Voodoo Lab Proctavia, a DigiTech Whammy, and a custom true bypass switch built by amp guru Ben Fargen (Fargen Amplification and Sonic Edge Effects).
    For his amps, Satch is using three Marshall JVM410 heads that have been converted into working prototypes for a future signature Marshall head that should be released sometime in 2011. The heads are based on a JVM410 format, but each one has been tweaked and altered throughout his current tour.
    And for his guitars, Satriani has been using two different Ibanez signature models--the JS1000 and the new JS2400. All of his Ibanez guitars are loaded with DiMarzio pickups.

      Joe was more of a high school senior persona to Steve, so it figures. As Joe once said Steve didn't really like learn something from him, except for stringing the guitar, maybe Steve later took a little from Joe's playing but totally nothing like a private advanced training, however, the highschool thing is true.

    Satch is about the only guitarist that can actually go through his rig and tell you why and for what he's using certain pedals. amps, guitars .. Most just have the techs do the interview because they're like "uhh yeah we use this little boxy thingy on one song I can't remember which one but it sounds great because I'm awesome".

    Rebecca did a great interview and asked a lot of great questions that only a guitarist would which was very cool. She must play. Who else would ask, "Why did you go with a rail instead of a humbucker?" or "What speakers do you have in the cabinets?" (He never did say what models either. All he said was the wattage.) I wanted to know if Joe uses V30's like Vai does or GT's. I'm pretty sure you can get the 1960 cabs with several different speakers.

    I miss Rebecca, and it had nothing to do with her looks or body parts. She had a great balance of interviewing the Artists about the smallest items (“What tubes are you using?”, “Howdoes this set-up differ from your Chickenfoot gigs?”) and *then* letting them talk until the next question or they’ve led to a new topic. The more recent PG Interviewers will talk *over* an Artist, not realizing how rude it is and disruptive it is as an interview. She had all aspects balanced perfectly, and I would hate to find out she left because guys couldn’t stop staring and comments were all about her chest. Boo-urns. 👎🏼

I already like the JVM410h, and the changes Satch has done to it such as getting rid of the digital reverb, replacing it with a noise gate and making it less compressed rectifies the flaws I felt it had last time I tested it.

    @TalkToTheBody Thank you again! Yes, feel is KEY! If you have pure technicality but no feel (*cough, cough, Rusty Cooley, cough*) it's just no good. I understand and respect your opinion about Santana, but I like his music a lot, not just because of his playing, but because of his tone. That tone is just mind-blowing to me.
    I also see where you're coming from with guitarists having trouble making new material. I will admit that I don't really know how to fix this issue.

    So glad to hear someone say this! I really feel that wood has almost no effect on the tone of an electric guitar. Wood does affect the aesthetics, weight and feel to the player, which can be very important. But to me, on a purely nuts and bolts level, electric guitar tone is 60% amp, 35% pickups, and 5% strings. On top of that the player's style will affect that basic tone in it's own unique way.

    I just ordered the JS2480MCR this morning and I’m dying to get my hands on it. Sweetwater could only get two on their last order and I already bought one of them so you guys better get on the ball if you want the other one. All JS series are hard as heck to get right now. There’s a 4-6 month wait on almost all of them.
