@@michaeldschutte yeah, it's one thing to mix overdrive with distortion, it's a another to pick up a Rat distortion pedal and say "this transparent overdrive is really TRANSPARENT"
I like when players will push suspense until you’re just about ready to give up on relief, then they hit that note and everything before finally makes sense.
I absolutely agree with him about the color of the pedal having an effect on the way it sounds. The Boss Super Chorus has a great color and it sounds great so yes it is true.
Nice video, laughed a lot :) Great Spinal Tap parody possibly, or sill valid for april one ? Either that or this video gives several cues as to why 'sound' is not Vai's strong point ;)
I love Steve, and i love the JEM but in my humble opinion the JEMINI was a horrible pedal :( It's really bassy and i was not a fan(maybe my unit was defective), sorry STEVE, you're still a legend.
I really don't think Vai uses his Ds-1 or Gemini at all anymore despite being on the board. Just saw him last week and he sounded amazing, but it was almost entirely the synergy for every sound. Also, guitar world needs to mic up better.
"The flanging in this says I AM A FLANGER" - he said while holding one of the most iconic phaser pedals of all time
Well, he also calls an overdrive a distortion to be fair

@thecurlylockes4069 yeah for sure. But honestly, at the end of the day I guess it doesn't matter what you call something as long as you can use it
And it is pretty clear that Vai doesn't 😂
Inspiring the masses for years....and continuing to inspire today🙏🎸
So awesome! I could use about 3 more hours of this. Amazing how Steve can make that guitar sing. Absolutely incredible.
I could watch these kind of vids all day long, everyday. 🙃

Playing through “pretty standard” pedals, and Steve’s sonic fingerprint comes through.😎
Steve rocks 😤💪🏻
That little thing he plays with the bar starting at 3:27 was awesome!
Fantastic
Oh man, this music cave, a dream to be in, with all the equipment.
Jack Butlers gonna like you…
Thank God for Steve

He still keeps the 1st legacy amp i have those , i think its one of the best amps i have played through
Would love to see more of the collection
After this DD7 will be hard to find
1:30 is that a distortion+ … ? 🧐 Great cinematography, btw …
Did you shoot this with a lo-res potato smeared with vaseline?!! 💦🥔🤤
And... Eugene's Trick Bag on the 1. Holy cow.
The Jemini launch video with Steve is still a classic. Funnier than Spinal Tap 😂
My Tube screamer in front of the amp. Boss 6 band, echoplex and my mxr analog chorus in that order in the loop. Classic tones😎
I’m a little interested in how he’s using the mastermind in conjunction with the fc-12 to control his axe fx.
Delay, distortion and wah-wah. Sounds right!
Nice video, laughed a lot :)

Loving the Ritchie Vaimore mustache..
2:52 Maestro PS-1A is infact a Phaser not a Flanger.
You need to calm down son…
@@brianwarner308 Sit down Marilyn.
Stop mocking the elderly
But the concept and goal of the PS1a was to emulate a rotary (Leslie) speaker,
@@pihermoso11 Same with the Uni-Vibe, iirc??
The wha is Dunlop Cry Baby GCB 95"Q" with auto return.

It sounds horrible in this video too.
Morley, kicked to the curb yet again.
Lol probably kept breaking. They replaced my bad horsie like 4 times before I finally gave up on it. Love the spring loaded feature tho
I used the Jemini with a Fender Twin amp for awhile. One pedal I wish I’d kept.
Very clever guy !
At this point, Steve could make a signature hamster. Hamsters would fly off the shelves. And there would be internet fights on what cage Steve uses.
When he said wah wah, I was expecting to see his Morley signature wah.
🤘😈🤘🔥🔥🔥
I saw 2 metal zones in there
He has 2 of them, one for each of his back pockets...
Okey Steve, expect a call from Josh at JHS any time soon 🙂
Do matt pike
"Oh that Mu-Tron Bi-Phase looks cool I wonder how much that isooooMG!!! Its $5000 US."
That one is CLEEEEAN, too
He's a guitar scientist, he could teach at Berklee.....

the edge interviews vai?
He really loves to play doesn't he?
...it completely molests your notes.
Hey, don’t let your notes near that pedal! It wants to molest them!
Steve spells his last name wrong...
Cool video, if Steve wants to send me a pedal I'll review it ❤
Not a Morley BAD Horsie?
distortion, delay, wahwah are the basic pedals for each guitar players!!!
great player obviously, but always has the "tone" of a ham sandwich or a pringle
Too much sizzley top-end gain with no mid...to my ears
@@davidthompson6832 yes! wrong tonewood probably and no clean Klon boost
777 likes. No one dare hit that button.
It’s hard to say it but from this video his signature pedal sounds horrible!
fire the video editor imediatly, the edition is very baddd
I think it is more a production issue. He isn't close miced, sounds like an ambient room mic for the audio...
Jemini pedal sounds so bad 😅
Rat, some kind of chorus, and a tuner
A tuner doesn't count, you're allowed 1 more.
