Palico Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm been playing around with setting up a Joe Satriani type of patch. Reivewing the amps and such he has reported used over the years, I settled on a either Marshal Plexi or the new Marshall 800 (2204) model running fairly clean then relying the Tube Dist to created the main distrotion tone. For Cab is seems he favors 4x12 Greenbax 25. Then I decided to may be incorporate some Steve Via type of setup in it since both their setups are pretty similar. Seems over the years he has used Greenbax 25 and Vintage 30 cabs. However; on the POD there seems to be quite a differrence in tone on the Greenbax and Vintage 30 (and couple options on the 30). So question (for those that like Shred tones), which POD model for that Shred type of tone do you favor? Also which mic? They make big difference in tone as well.

duncann Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 If you have the new metal model pack, I would suggest the 5150 and no other distortions. With no metal pack, maybe the Soldano with a tube drive. For the cabs and mics, either the blackback or the greenback would be good. The greenback is a little darker sounding while the blackback is more forward. The greenback also seems to have more of a saturated goodness that works really well with a wah. For the mics, maybe one of the 57s if using the greenback: one of them with the greenback produces a little more fizziness, but I can't remember which one it is. I like the 87 condenser with the blackback. You could also set up dual cabs to use both cabs and mics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 There's actually a couple decent SV tones floating around the web (not just CT). My favorite --- (Yankee Rose and Tobacco Road type sound) uses Angel F-Ball 4x12 XXL V-30 409 Dynamic I've never used it live, because playing SV is more of an ego trip than a crowd pleaser. I use it more for fun -- to get my jam on, in my free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was just thinking about something different. Rarely would I use it live, althought might for "Going Down", I do that one is Shred type of setup, but very little else.
