from Marshall via GuitarNoize
According to a news release posted on the Marshall website, Joe Satriani is moving back to Marshall amps. Ouch – that’s gotta hurt Peavey.
Here’s the article : http://www.marshallamps.com/resources/news/resources_news.asp
Chickenfoot gear includes, of course, Peavey JSX

Nice background article on Chickenfoot.
And of course Joe is using his Peavey JSX to slay the masses.
According to the video at MusicRadar some of the details of Joe’s setup…
Joe has gone from .09 to .10 strings and dropped a half-step for his #1 and #2 guitars. His pedal setup is Vox Wah Wah, POG, Micro-POG, two Saturators, Voodo Vibe, and a Ibanez FL9 Flanger and two Vox Joe Satriani Time Machine. Two routes, one to a wet amp and one to a dry amp.

An Introduction to Amp Modding
The following guest article is by Joe Gillespie. Joe runs a great blog over at www.joesjamblog.com about all things Spider Jam (as in Line6). Joe has been building and modding amps for quite a while (check out his ‘Little Tweedie‘)
There’s a line in the Dire Straits song “Sultans of Swing” about “Guitar George” that goes “Yes, and an old guitar is all he can afford.” That has always amused me because it really should have been, “A new guitar is all he can afford.” There is something about old guitars and amplifiers that makes them so desirable – and expensive. It can’t all be nostalgia. Is a late ’50s Les Paul or Stratocaster really better than their modern counterparts? Considering all the advances in technology, can an old Vox or Fender amp honestly sound better?
