@@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.
Most of Steve's pedal collection is as esoteric and interesting as his playing. Cool to see him list such "standards", though. The mark of a true master.
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.
Inspiring the masses for years....and continuing to inspire today🙏🎸
"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 😂
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. 🙃
Steve rocks 😤💪🏻
That little thing he plays with the bar starting at 3:27 was awesome!

Playing through “pretty standard” pedals, and Steve’s sonic fingerprint comes through.😎
Fantastic
Thank God for Steve
Oh man, this music cave, a dream to be in, with all the equipment.
Jack Butlers gonna like you…

Would love to see more of the collection
He still keeps the 1st legacy amp i have those , i think its one of the best amps i have played through
The Jemini launch video with Steve is still a classic. Funnier than Spinal Tap 😂
And... Eugene's Trick Bag on the 1. Holy cow.
Delay, distortion and wah-wah. Sounds right!

After this DD7 will be hard to find
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.
Nice video, laughed a lot :)

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.
1:30 is that a distortion+ … ? 🧐 Great cinematography, btw …
Did you shoot this with a lo-res potato smeared with vaseline?!! 💦🥔🤤
Very clever guy !
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
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.
I used the Jemini with a Fender Twin amp for awhile. One pedal I wish I’d kept.
Loving the Ritchie Vaimore mustache..
When he said wah wah, I was expecting to see his Morley signature wah.
"Oh that Mu-Tron Bi-Phase looks cool I wonder how much that isooooMG!!! Its $5000 US."
That one is CLEEEEAN, too
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.
It sounds horrible in this video too.
He's a guitar scientist, he could teach at Berklee.....
Okey Steve, expect a call from Josh at JHS any time soon 🙂
Do matt pike
I saw 2 metal zones in there
He has 2 of them, one for each of his back pockets...
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.
🤘😈🤘🔥🔥🔥
He really loves to play doesn't he?
the edge interviews vai?
Cool video, if Steve wants to send me a pedal I'll review it ❤
Not a Morley BAD Horsie?
Steve spells his last name wrong...
...it completely molests your notes.
Hey, don’t let your notes near that pedal! It wants to molest them!
Electric ham sandwich tone
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.
corporate answer. cmon steve plug those old mutrons in let's hear them
It’s hard to say it but from this video his signature pedal sounds horrible!
Jemini pedal sounds so bad 😅
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...
Rat, some kind of chorus, and a tuner
A tuner doesn't count, you're allowed 1 more.
