#electricguitar #guitaramp #joesatriani
Historical Background of how this came together: For over 20 years Joe Satriani has tasked Alan Rosen of Bananas At Large with finding the perfect amplifiers for his needs. Joe and Alan have tried every high-gain amp on the market, many unique boutique brands and models, and even have imported amps from all around the world to try to find that one special amp that does it all for Joe. When Sammy Hagar announced the tour that will pay tribute to the songs of Van Halen with Joe at the helm, Alan knew it was time to custom-build THE amp to fit the VH tones and cover Joe’s needs. He went right to a trusted, long-time friend and ex-Bananas At Large employee… Dylana Scott of 3rd Power. Alan and Dylana spoke at length, reinforcing Alan’s opinion that only Dylana could make what Joe needed. With that Joe, Dylana, and Bananas At Large have come together to create The DRAGON SERIES AMPLIFIERS: A series of amplifiers designed to take the electric guitar to new heights of expression.
I want to thank Alan at Bananas for the confidence, support and partnership and of course, Joe for the opportunity!
@@3rdpoweramps No one better! Love how things come full circle!
The amp doesn't even tickle what the JSX or the JVM410HJS can do.
@@n0nyabznss Nope it fully blows them away and doesnt fail on tour! 🤪
Any chance there will be a combo version of this amp?@@3rdpoweramps
This is the first instrumental guitar song of last 10 years that I really enjoy
Oh wow!!! THANK YOU! 🙏☺️
The solo in the intro song is fantastic.
Everything I’ve heard from this amp has been amazing. It addresses just about every concern I’ve had about Plexi style circuits. Well done 3rd Power!
I missed this type of juicy hard rock guitar. Fantastic work.
Good lord this sounds amazing!!!
9:18 holy moly! Nailed that sound! Great video Mike!
Truly killer tone!!
The tone is very sharp, cutts my ears in half! Great!
Great song Michael! And great tone from the Dragon
"I don't feel Tardy". LOVE IT! 🤣
I think that may my favorite gain sound I’ve ever heard in 40 years of listening and playing.
The Ping Pong delay in perfect time, at the beginning and through out gives this even more thumbs. This is how some of us will play through such a great amp. Don't worry it sounds just a awesome without any effects. Well done Mr. Nielson. 🌩🎸
Satch has a very unique tone , which this amp carries. More of a nasally midrangey, vocally tone. Even though it is a Marshall based tone (Which I love) & it is still very versatile. Needed a little more demo of the clean tones. Thank you.
Sounds really awesome!!! Like how it can go from pretty articulate plexi/modded plexi style tones, to super compressed sounding, but never sounds weak, or unresponsive.
Love your playing as always!!! The amp sounds great!!!
I always come away from Michael’s videos impressed at how good those Shabat Guitars sound.
This got to
Be the best sounding amp Sateriani ever had!
Wow, sounds great! Great playing too Mike!
Sound phenomenal... great playing as always Man!!!
Thanks a lot! :)
Intro song is fantastic, and those features are so unique, the 400hz bump especially, you can tell how shrill that melody/lead tone is without it, I would have never thought that would have been needed, but it clearly is :)
Gonna age myself. I had “Live without a net” on Betamax. This amp sounds insanely good.
So did I. Ha ha...
@@tawny624 nice!! It’s a classic.
I have the VHS tape about 5 feet from me as I type this. Count for anything? Lol.
Dude, extremely awesome playing in the beginning! I can tell this amp can be used for heavier styles, too. Really wanna try one of these!!
Michael Nielsen I tuned to your channel to check out the Dragon and discovered a good guitarist with some tasty licks. I’m subscribed.
Crisp and harmonic.
Mr. Nielson, always enjoy all your amp demos, but I also enjoy your playing and composition as well as the recording. That "Supertele" is pretty cool as well.
Love the tone. Reminds me of my BE100 with the SAT and FAT switches on but with a different midrange. It’s cool! I think aI might get one.
Its crunchy but so smooth at the same time.! Just a sublime distortion to it.❤
Awesome Mike ! 💥💥💥💥💥👊🏻
That intro was da bomb!
Sounds like my old Crate Blue Voodoo. Cool stuff
My friends, this is why it's so important to playing/creating a mix/composition. What a intro jam joint Michael, that was pure 🔥great .
Love the playing and the tones, Michael!
Great demo!
You are too kind! Thanks so much!
Sounds amazing
That amp sounds insanely great. Of course it wouldn't be without your great playing. Thanks for then review.
Incredible sounding as usual!
Love the shirt!!!
This amp is different from all the others I've heard, and it is the best sounding as well. I'm still a Hiwatt guy, but this amp kicks ass.
What a good tone, how well you always play!💯
Great work Mike
That is one awesome sounding amp!!!
When you started your channel, you seemed to be a producer who played guitar. Taken a while to realize you are a fantastic guitar player who happens to produce. Great playing!
Thanks man! That's really nice of you to say!
Wonderful as always Michael. Thank you!
Great review bro. Subscribed !
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
Holy crap that sounds good !!
That was a sick solo!
Sounds amazing! ❤
Nashville!! Home town advantage!
Great amp demo. Bought your songs. Love discovering you. Hope you do more in the future. Live Satch and Eddie and live the couple singles you have out. Can't wait to hear more. Thank you!!!
Joe played this in New York with Steve Vai this year. His pedal board went out, and I was pretty sure he was playing directly through the half stack when his pedal board went out. His amp sounded amazing. Joes live sound is just about perfect
I was there and can confirm, Joe’s tone was AMAZING
@@BenEller next time one of my favorite guitar UA-camrs is in Manhattan we need to do shots :-)
This is the best thing satch hasn’t recorded for 15 years, Stella tone and Melodie’s
Sounds awesome!
HOLY ****. that sounds amazing 😍
Groovy song. Downloaded it. The tones and playing are bussin, ✌️👌🎸😎
The only guy who can do it justice. Great demo Michael!!
Loved the intro, excellent chops
Deeeewd, your playing and these tracks & especially the solo RIPZ! Whoa!!! Tone is ok 2!
Sick Intro! Awesome amp and video!
Fantastic intro track 😎👌🤘 amp sounds killer 🔥🔥🔥😊
Sounds incredible…thank you.
Congrats on the release @3rdpoweramps !!! Sounds amazing as always!
Thanks Jeff!
@@3rdpowerampskitchen sink is a goated amp
I want one… those sounds are fantastic
Love the amp!!!! Love the Tee!!!!!!
Damn I love that tone
Sounds so awesome!!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaah!!!!!
Sweet!!!!
I can't put my finger on the tone except it reminds me of a mesa rectifier or mark series with tight bottom and great mids. What a beast of an amp. way more character than i was expecting, but i think under your fingers, it shines even more
really great sounding amp and very cool ideas and design .... and your playing, man i love your phrasing and ideas ...
Sweet!
Wow! 😮 I want it!
little summer song thrown in at the end. nice.
Such a great album!!! 🤘
Great intro very
Sound very cool👍🤘🔥
Bringing the heat Mike!
Outstanding ❤
Exactly what a signature amp should be! Beautifully made with amazing tone in collaboration with a signature artist. This amp is next level. All the features and the foot switch alone is amazing. Thank you 3rd power
3rd Power make excellent amps.
I have been a huge Satriani fan since the late eighties. But, it must be exhausting trying to help him find the perfect amp. He has had some amazing tones captured over the years. He even admitted in an interview after The Elephants of Mars came out that the Tech 21 plug-in he used solely on that album captured what he was trying to do better than any real amp, and that real tube amps never sound the same from take to take when recording or from venue to venue live anyway.
That statement has helped me have confidence in using amp sims and digital gear and not having to use real tubes in order for it to be good.
Crazy good sounding! And That guitar sounds killer! I love the Freq stuff.The EQ is so responsive! It's a delicious Rock machine!
Phenomenal!
First saw those on his tour with Vai and i had to do some research, thanks for sharing this.
I did finally find you on the QC Cloud! I'm JohnnyMillion on there. I actually captured some of your profiles before I sold my Kemper and they're not half bad.
Terrific demo, too! 😅
Dang it that amp sounds too good! Now I need one! It does totally nail that LWAN tone even dry, I bet once you start messing with effects and EQ's you can get some crazy good sounds out of that thing!
Super need ❤ sound amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Nice playing. Very nice. It has that rock vibe that makes us smile inside, but it's not just reruns of the same old stock licks we have all played forever.
Cool amp. I really like the lead tones, because it seems like they would let you cut loose and legato etc. I prefer the Plexi kerrang for chords though.
P.S. I really like Surfing and Flying in a Blue Dream, but my fav Satch album is actually the mid 1990s self titled one that was red. It did not go faster though. It was kind of bluesy. Songs like Moroccan Sunset. I just like vibe of the record, but also the licks he came up with etc. I remember thinking "how the heck does he think up hitting notes like that?".
I have still not tried the Satch version of the JVM. I saw an interview of Santiago talking about it. It's quite different to a regular one. I only ever see the vanilla ones here in NZ though. Paradise has its downsides.
I make do with a Friedman IR-X, a Freyette Power Station, and my little 50 watt Plexi clone. I picked up a V30 loaded bottom cab for it recently. MF30s. I got the nephew to play AC/DC riffs while I dialed it in. No power station or master volume. The amp slightly boosted running on 10 into two 4x12s. Angus settings from Rig Rundown pretty much. It's something else.
I had forgotten what a full stack is like. It's not for the faint of heart and is kind of scary to play, but it does something you just can't get any other way. The notes are so massive and weighty that you could just about walk on them (my frustration with all the volume solutions like load boxes and IRs or modelling is how wimpy and thin the notes can become in comparison to a full stack Plexi kind of thing -- Eddie was right I guess. Volume is tone).
The amp is cool but I want that T-shirt! You've been hitting it out of the park with your playing Michael, not bad for a Dodger fan. ;-P
We need a whole album!
Yeahh
Great jam intro Michael! Did a local cabinet maker build all of your amazing studio furniture and storage modules for your amp heads? Very well designed and build quality!
Crazy amp! Also, your original track is pretty smoking as well!
Nice sounding amp, nice playing too.
Nothing better than a t style with HH
Oooohhh that's nice
That songs phuken rocked
I’ve watched Too many of your videos, afraid I’m gonna start making that same guitar playing face
Ok no ones gunna say but i will DUDE your playing was spot on loved it ! satch loves new gear bring it on ! price is a little high maybe work on dropping it to get more folks keen !
Great sounding amp. So many options. I assume the lower wattage amps will be more simplified.
Love that tune!!!
Love. That. Shirt. Want the amp too but that shirt....
Metal tele. Amazing.
