Some of those options are already in AT roland 120 being one (dumebag if i recall well) , why would it be a third version ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Walton Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 One of the most interesting, tasteful virtuoso guitar players ever. That being said, most of his "gear" that he has associated with over the years has not been top tier tone machinery. I'm a nobody with access to better gear than what is on this list to "model," and that is kind of sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly all of it other than perhpas Marshall Super Lead if it is an original and an Echoplex. Someone like Joe has access to all kinds of boutique gear, everything on that list is attainable (or not great in terms of tone) for the average player. Obviously he can make fantastic music with a Squier Strat and a Solid State amp, but when modeling for an artist's gear you tend to want a representatoin of some really good gear as the starting point. Trainwreck, Komet, Two Rock for Amps...effects too many options to list, but Boss, Vox, Dunlop, are not on anyones wishlist other than a beginner.

Peter - IK Multimedia Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The answer to "what gear creates Joe Satriani's tone?" came from Joe Satriani, so that is the list provided from the source himself for how to achieve his tone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall JVM is their flagship (hopefully this is the JVM410HJS). Wouldn't mind seeing IK's take on a complete 5150 (that is also one of Peavey's best selling amps of all time). Try and find a 6100 today yeah? Eventide isn't "top tier?" Countless guitarists have relied on the Chandler Tube driver. I guess you're trying to say this isn't "boutique" stuff right. Ok, well Boss, Vox and Dunlop are used by professional guitarists the world over, studio and stage, for decades - not just beginners. Not trying to start a flame war. ANY amp that has more than one channel by design is a tone compromise. Look at the work of Ken Fischer (Jim Marshall used to call him for advice and feedback on tone...think about that for a second). Yes, the Tube Driver was used by many guitarists, just like the terrible sounding TS-9, and there were not very many alternatives at the time. Joe could made a early era Line6 pod sound good and interesting, that doesn't mean it is a tone machine. He also could have said, just model a Line6 digital amp, I can make that sound like me. The Eventide was a digital model built in the 70s, it was state of the art at the time....just like an Apple IIc computer. Do I think it sounds as good as the processors that can be produced today? Absolutely not, nor would it be top tier. Tone is in the hands and Joe isn't bottling that up for our consumption. It does speak volumes that someone of his stature would say, model a DS-1, to get "my sound" The 6100 reissues are easy to get, any "original" of course is a little more difficult to obtain, but again it isn't a holy grail amp either. I could buy one any day of the week if I desired one. The same cannot be said for an original Trainwreck.

Zo Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I think the subject is not specially what stars uses but more what makes sens bizness and marketing wise for Ik and for us ...personnaly i don't know those guyz , i just need diffrents quality gears ....this was my remark ...for those looking for a specific artist tone it's exellent as i gravitated to those presets in AT and they'rev indeed prod ready and ope most of the time ... The question was more intended to Ik approch : Stars Tone versus Gear (missing ) modeling ..... the second is what i'm looking for but this dos'nt take off anything from option 1 , i was just asking .....

Carlos Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Tone is not in the hands, never has never will. That they have influence on sound, that's different. Tone (timbre) has more to do with the speaker. Believe what you will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Walton Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Musical Warmth 5150 said: Uh, no thanks. Yes, multi channel amps suck - and in fact, aren't even necessary for many gigs, and aren't relied by, again, professional guitarists the world over. Would you rather Amplitube Joe Satriani included a bunch of boutique blues dentists gear that Joe doesn't even use? Expensive and rare does not make the gear better. Do I think the Eventide still sounds good? Yes, I do. I think it's a given that processing power has increased, that's why Eventide continues to release new gear. Joe, along with Steve Vai, have used Boss pedals, including overdrive and distortion, for years. Pretty sure the vote is VOTE FOR THE GEAR YOU WANT IN AMPLITUBE JOE SATRIANI, not in Amplitube in general. If you think Marshall made better amps than Trainwreck, I think it is fair to assume you have never actually played one. (and I agree that rare and expensive doesn't equal better, i.e the overrated Dumbles I've played, though some were very good), Edited December 13, 2019 by Brian Walton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(though the speaker isn't the #1 contributor to tone either, and I have access to the holy grails of all guitar speakers. Pre Rolla 30 green back Celestions picked out by Ken Fischer himself) However, I stand by the statement that the gear itself is basically irrelevant in what Joe is bringing to the table.
