    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).
