When Joe Satriani signed on to tackle some of Eddie Van Halen’s most iconic guitar parts in Sammy Hagar’s Best of All Worlds tour, he knew his regular amp rig wouldn’t cut it: it was too focused on fattening up the high strings – great for solos, but not for EVH’s trademark rhythms.
He turned to Dylana Scott at 3rd Power Amplification, who set out to capture what Satriani and Hagar considered to be Eddie’s greatest tone: Van Halen’s 1986 Live Without a Net rig, featuring modded Marshalls with power soaks and effects processing.
