    I thought I’d come on here and comment on what the problem was. There was an issue with the power at that particular venue, which caused a Legacy amp to go down during rehearsals the day before, and also caused issues for the lighting console as well. (I believe Dante’s amp went down the previous time we played this venue). Not a fun situation, and quite a jarring way to kick off a tour..but I am glad we were able to continue the show for the fans. Next day everything was back to normal, and we are smooth sailing through this fantastic G3 tour! -Doug

      I remember seeing this kind of issues when we had to perform on really old venus with old wiring. It could be a venue with lots of harmonics in the power line. Those are hard to deal with in reality and i remember building a power regulator for amps that had sensitive switching . Pete cornish came out with a similar solution. its heavy though but saves you from trouble.

    Steve Vai best tone was mid to late 90’s with his Bogner Ecstasy. Second was early 2000s with his Legacy 1. Now, even his tone is sweet, it doesn’t surpass the Bogner era. Listen the original G3 (1997 with Bogner) and his Live in an Ultra World (early 2000 with his Legacy 1).

    I'm believing this is a power fluctuation issue , like a voltage drop. We live in an electronic world , for everything , and the gear used today is much more sensitive than gear used back in the 80's and 90's. Now , a solution to this would be to have his main system on board for his normal rig. Then set up a few 200 watt stacks , with a second pedal board , an EQ , and the basics. Have that connected to a decent sized Generac generator . Have the switch over cables side by side. That way the tech could just start the generator , unplug a few input cables on one system into the other , then Vai switch to the other pedal board. Problem solved in less than a minute. Some of these venues are not prepared for the power consumption needed nor do they have STABLE power. Which is the key. You drop your voltage coming in just a few volts , and equipment starts acting really weird , till failure is reached.

    Two power amp failures on separate rigs (technically 3 in the synergy rig). Not a fault of the Legacy or the Fryette's powering it. They are well built and need to be maintained. Having two backups fail first tour date likely has to do with venue power and the lack of proper maintenance on the tech's behalf. This isn't a brand thing

    maybe over the years it has become part of the theatrical action that is the Vai Experience.
