An exerpt from an interview with Steve Vai:
Shucks...and I thought I was the only one :roll:
See what he says about using a distorted/overdriven tone though a clean amp?Speaking of sound, you use two distortions pedals as the basis of your distinct guitar tone, an Ibanez Tube Screamer and a Boss DS-1?
Yeah?but I?ve just finished designing a pedal with Ibanez called the Gemini that is coming out sometime next year. It is two pedals in one, two distortion pedals that are both voiced differently. And the volumes are voiced differently too. It?s really great because now I can set the distortions completely differently where if I want a little bit of a kick or a particular sound, I kick one in and then I can kick the other one in for a more distorted sound and it especially works great if you use a clean amp.
