The guitar legend has all sorts of rack gear, pedals, and modeling to get his signature sound.
Come on down to the crossroads-or the CMA Theatre in Nashville-as we walk through the jaw-dropping rig of devilishly talented shredder Steve Vai.
Steve Vai is much more than a great guitarist. The American guitarist has established himself as a key figure in guitar culture, and one of the world’s leading masters of shred. Vai broke on the scene in 1980 as Frank Zappa’s transcriptionist, until Zappa hired Vai, age 20, to join his touring band-Zappa allegedly called Vai his “little Italian virtuoso.”
Bolstering his guitar theatrics with sharp songwriting and producing, Vai went on to conquer the world of guitar music, winning three Grammys and selling 15 million records. PG was lucky to be invited to Vai’s recent show at the Country Music Hall of Fame’s CMA Theatre in Nashville, where his tech, Doug MacArthur, took John Bohlinger through Vai’s jaw-dropping current touring rig.

Mad to think that with all the power of the AXE FX III it's only used for effects.

Would make more sense to me to use the 4 cable method with the synergy preamps inserted into a loop

@christopheranderson2158 4 месяца назад

Only if using pre-gain effects before the Synergy preamps....which Steve does not. Why introduce another analog/digital signal conversion if you don’t need to?? That doesn’t make sense......

The main article says the Wah is a Switchless Dunlop 95Q modded, but the link in the description is for a Switched Dunlop 535Q, both are unique units, but which one is correct?

@ElmoRitter 10 месяцев назад

Why was he upset at the idea of a vai not using a tube amp? Is it a boomer thing? Is this one of those "i used walk to school uphill both ways barefoot in the snow" kind of things?

@andrew6978 9 месяцев назад

Thought the same, stuck in the old 90s view of digital. Maybe he thinks modelling still sounds like a Zoom 505 pedal.

@WilliamPayneNZ 2 месяца назад

People just get used to seeing certain people using certain stuff. It’s not that one is better or worse. Everyone can look back at an artist and find a sound that they really liked.

Bohlinger looking down on digital amp modeling all the time is peak boomer energy. It’s like grandpa complaining about not being able to use their smartphone because it’s too difficult or not being able to grasp that on demand streaming is better than cable TV.

@projectgoatse but you care what Bohlinger thinks about tone?

@projectgoatse 10 месяцев назад

@@yrmthr I do not personally care about what he thinks. The problem that I have is that he’s constantly inserting his own old and outdated opinions about digital equipment in every single rig rundown that he does. It results in three things; influencing viewers into a certain narrow viewpoint, propagating and even glorifying ignorance as a result, and quite frankly inserting his own thoughts and opinions about other people’s rigs where it’s not wanted nor asked for. Rebecca Dirks was a much better host because she actually stuck to asking questions purely about the rig and would often go into detail on an order of magnitude more than Ace Ventura ever could.

@HeathAllyn 10 месяцев назад

Ah snobby modeling prejudice. How disappointing.

@HeathAllyn 10 месяцев назад

@@aaronsinger I don't actually care one bit what anyone else thinks of my sound. I'm the only one who has to be happy with it. Though having been a professional full-time musician for 35 years, and playing constantly as a hired gun with pro bands, I'm pretty confident I know what I'm doing and my ears work great. It's just sad to see a source I normally respect being elitist snobs. Like you. As evidenced by needing to be a total jerk in a comment to a stranger. You don't listen with ears, you listen with archaic prejudice and obviously think that your subjective opinion is fact, which it most definitely is not.

@HeathAllyn 10 месяцев назад

@@aaronsinger I could also point you to MANY well-respected, well-known, pro players who have gone to digital modeling but your attitude makes it clear that there is no good faith conversation to be had here. Have fun being a miserable, snobby jerk. Sadly there's no block button here (Edit: Ooh, but there is a mute option, sweet), but this will most certainly be the last interaction I have with you. I'm sure that behind your blank profile with no picture or videos, you're a very knowledgeable, guitar god whose opinion should mean a lot to me.

@dryanbuchanan 10 месяцев назад

Well, they are a guitar gear channel. If everyone just used a axe fx it would get pretty boring. I don’t think John said anything negative about it. They have their place in the world. But the world is better when there’s more than just kempers and axe fx’s beijbg played. Lol

@HeathAllyn 10 месяцев назад

@@dryanbuchanan he seemed pretty dismissive and said he was “disappointed” when he saw the modeler in there. And the tech said pigs would fly before Steve used modeling like it was a dirty word. But I do appreciate you being able to express an opinion in a conversational and not condescending manner and I agree. That’s what I hate is that the snobbery is one way. Though I prefer modelers for many reasons I wound never be like “Oh you use an AMP? Pfft. Have fun with that temperamental antique.” I’m 100% behind playing whatever you like and inspires you and let others do the same without being a snob or a jerk.

@HeathAllyn 10 месяцев назад

@@dryanbuchanan and also another good point you make: I recently made a video about how if I was ever famous enough, my rig rundown would be pretty damn boring unless we wanted to talk about all the various virtual rigs and cool ways I can use digital modeling to do things like switch guitars, tunings, amps, cabs, mics, FX, and more all with one switch! And simultaneously MIDI control every aspect of my Nord Stage 3 keyboard as well!
