Satch patch test.
Last Sunday I had a listen to Firejack018’s excellent Satriani covers, which took me on a journey down old memory lane. I dragged out the dusty old box from the cupboard, where my Satch albums had been hibernating for the past 8 or so years. After listening to a few tracks, I decided to try and make a couple Satch patches for the GNX.
After playing around with my new Satch patches I decided to lay down a quick Satch jam.
This was mostly done for fun and to see how the patches turned out. It sounds very 90’s because, well, I haven’t actually purchased any Satch albums for a long time:)
If anyone would like the patches leave it in your comments and I’ll upload them.
So there you have it. I would like to thank Firejack018 for the inspiration and of course the big guy himself, Joe. And a HUGE thanks to iliace for his help in getting this file on the net.
Have a listen and let me know what you think;)
Gear:
Ibanez RG540 loaded with Damarzio’s
Hoontech DSP24 Value Sound Card. I went with the line out option instead of USB.
GNX3000
Sennheiser HD515’s
And of course my computer
P.S. Firejack018, Don’t you even dare start on the Steve Vai covers lol.

Sounded good!! Nice playing there!! Hey what for trem does your RG have?? My RG470DX has LO Pro and did not stay in tune very well. I just never used the trem and it never went out of tune. Very stable guitar. I love the Edge Pro on my JS1000BP if the strings are stretched and played a little, not that I'm huge tremelo user but this thing will just not go out of tune!! Much better in my opinion!! Just wondering??
God Bless!!!

My RG has the older style locking trem. I'm not sure what it is called but I think its pretty much the same as the Lo Po minus the Lo:)
I actually have more problems with tuning after locking the nut. But when its all locked up and in tune, I can give the whammy a real thrashing and it tends to stay in tune.
Cheers

LOL at your intro. Thanks for the mention. Nice to be an inspiration.
Man, that was awesome.
Your tone was electricity and your playing otherwordly.
Is this a satch song? I haven't heard satch's material beyond Crystal Planet.
Also, what Dimarzios are you running?
That tone sure was something else. Great work!

@firejack018, are you pulling my leg bro lol. I just put it together to show of the patches and well, I haven’t actually recorded a thing for about two years. Matter of fact I haven’t even picked up my guitar for nearly two years. I picked it up a couple weeks back and a week later I got the GNX and now I'm back in guitar heaven. Ha ha, that sounds so cheesy lol.
Appreciate the kind words mate:)
Anyways, Paf pro in the neck and a double whammy in the bridge position. These things are as old as the hills, probably older.
The tone comes from the wah effect mainly. Whenever I play Satch styled stuff I tend to leave the wah pedal on the whole time. It gives your guit great sustain and that trade mark Satch tone; sort of.
I’ll work on those patches a bit more then post them up.
Cheers again guys!
Michael.
