Does Satch still use a pedal to drive the clean channel of his signature Marshall?

[UberMetalDood]

From what I've read, Satch has primarily used an overdrive pedal to drive the clean channels of his amps - and still does. Does anyone know this to be true? If so then why does he use multichannel amps?

Looking on his board,I'm gonna say he uses the Marshall's overdriven/distortion tones...This is with Chickenfoot...Not sure about his solo touring setup?

Re: Does Satch still use a pedal to drive the clean channel of his signature Marshall

"These modified JVM Marshall amps were prototypes for a signature amp which was scheduled for release in 2011. The reverb has been replaced by noise gates which cancel any lag when switching channels. The clean channel has been replaced by the clean channel of a 6100 LM model which he likes as an option to use distortion pedals with. The orange od channel and the modern red od channel have been better matched with each other as he still claims to prefer the organic od channels of the JVM amp rather than pedals. The red od channel has been modified to be based more on beefy rock than a nu-metal sound. The fx-loop has been simplified to be serial only.

His effects pedals include the Vox wah, Dunlop Cry Baby wah, RMC Wizard Wah, DigiTech Whammy, BK Butler Tube Driver, BOSS DS-1, BOSS CH-1, BOSS CE-2, BOSS DD-2 and a standard BOSS DD-3 (used together to emulate reverb effects), BOSS BF-3, BOSS OC-2, Barber Burn Drive Unit, Fulltone Deja Vibe, Fulltone Ultimate Octave, and Electro-Harmonix POG (Polyphonic Octave Generator), the latter being featured prominently on the title cut to his 2006 Super Colossal. Satriani has partnered with Planet Waves to create a signature line of guitar picks and guitar straps featuring his sketch art."

Does he run two different setups, one for Chickenfoot and another for his solo stuff? If I had his kind of money I would.

I've read where Satch said he runs a tighter,cleaner,crunchier setup with Chickenfoot..More on the lines of a classic rock tone from earlier years..His solo stuff is normally fairly gainey sounding and alot of lead playing over the chording stuff he does in CF..

So he ditched his signature dirt pedal in favor of that old favorite, the DS-1. Interesting.

I haven't used one in years but I used to love my MIJ DS-1. I'd plug my '54 Tele with Fralin Blues Specials into it, plug the DS-1 into a tweed Deluxe and get great first Led Zep album tones!

Mine was stock but Satch and Vai used Keeley modded DS-1's into their Marshalls when I saw them live years ago.

Glad to see Satch using it again. Gives the DS-1 some credibility. (and me too!)

No Vox Satchurator? That is interesting.

I believe he was running the Satchurator into the clean channel of his JSX, now he has a different amp setup and doesn't need it. I just picked up a Satchurator for $50 to try out as a preamp. With an overdrive in front of it, it sounds pretty awesome.

If you look at Joe's current board setup...No DS1 on the board..
