    "The flanging in this says I AM A FLANGER" - he said while holding one of the most iconic phaser pedals of all time

      Well, he also calls an overdrive a distortion to be fair

      @@michaeldschutte yeah, it's one thing to mix overdrive with distortion, it's a another to pick up a Rat distortion pedal and say "this transparent overdrive is really TRANSPARENT"

    I absolutely agree with him about the color of the pedal having an effect on the way it sounds. The Boss Super Chorus has a great color and it sounds great so yes it is true.

    I really don't think Vai uses his Ds-1 or Gemini at all anymore despite being on the board. Just saw him last week and he sounded amazing, but it was almost entirely the synergy for every sound. Also, guitar world needs to mic up better.
