Joe Satriani Ampero Preset (Weekly preset 1)

 The basic gear of Satch are:

1) Vintage Marshall (Plexi)

2) Modern Marshall (JVM or JCM 800)

3) 5150

4) a boost like a Boss OD1

5) an overdrive like a DS1

6) Delay

7) Wah!

8) a v30 or a t75 marshall cab

8) Some fenderish thing for the cleans

My goal was to stay in the ballpark of JS and possibly get a tone good both for rythm (less gain) and leads (more gain). Based on my previous experience the JCM800 model was my choice (i plan later for a 5150 preset!). The reference tone was mainly "always with you, always with me" and "Summer song"

As you can see gain, bass and middle are pushed but trebles are rolled back to get a rounded and singing tone.

I added a boost:

Gain is 0, tone is 18, volume is 50 because it is maily a midboost.

Here is the cab (V30):

The goal was always to tame high freq and smooth the attack.

I also rolled of the 8k freq with the graphic eq.

Add a 400ms delay and reverb to tast.
