All these "the video sounds bad" comments: get a clue. This is youtube and you are listening through the speakers on your computer. I have high-end speakers and it sounds wonderful (for youtube compression). Looks like a great pedal.
Hmm... Satchurator does definetly NOT sound anything like this in this demo... its weird how much these guitarworlds reviews can make good gear sound so bad. Seriously, if people decide to buy this pedal by this sound, they are going to be very very amazed when they get the pedal home. For all people reading this: The Satchurator doesnt sound at all like that what we can hear from the video, its like 100000 times better sounding. i have it and i love it!
I just want to clear something up here to all the people watching this video, i got this pedal as a birthday present recently ( May 9th 2010 ) and let me tell you how misleading this review is, the satchurator is an incredible pedal. It's got so much boost and power behind it that it sounds fantastic, and one of the only signature pedals that actually sounds like the signature guitarist, sounds amazing and can sound like joe exactly and more, you will not be disappointed buying this pedal.
Why is pro like Paul Doing with a epiphone i mean their not all bad some are good like the phophecy seris but paul is rich. Even i can afford it and i only get 145,000 dollars a year.
Seriously, what's wrong with an epi? You can save yourself a lot of money by just swapping pickups. You can really find out if you'd get a gibson or not. I thought with the Pedal it sounded great. Isn't that what matters?
@TheVintageZero I completely agree, I have an epiphone les paul standard ultra and I put gibson pickups in and it sounds awesome, I wouldn't trade it for some of the gibson's i've played
Joe Satriani and Steve Vai are really giving guitarists access to their unique tone. Probably the best route to get their sound out of your own amp and playing.
I'm sorry if i seem like, i don't know abit troll like, but would anyone else agree this review is rather misleading? i mean he says he has a clean sound, with gain and distortion already activated? so how powerful can this pedal really be? it looks fantastic but that original sound from this guys amplifier really makes me wonder, does anyone else agree with this?
I have the Satchurator and it does pack alot of Gain...not Death Metal Gain but alot. Especially for rock and it does Vah Halen stuff with the gain at 7-8.
It's only (-) is the fact that it really needs a Clean tube channel to shine.
I dunno, just putting 'Satch' on something doesn't make it worth $130 to me. And this mix might sound good with a band behind it, put I think it needs to be a little dryer to really hear what the hell the pedal is actually doing. I hate this guys reviews.
delay isn't cheesy, but here, it is unnecessary. I really like to turn just a tad bit of delay, but it just adds a hint of flavor, if you will, to the sound.
How does this pedal compare to the Marshall Guvnor? That pedal has many settings you can tweak too, and with that it sounds like you're actually playing through a JCM800.
Actually he's doing what I would do. Put it through it's paces to see if it can give me what I want. Then click around to see the difference the switches actually make.
your right there, but at least he plays more than chords. alot of the time when people demonstrate gear, they just riff, so you dont really get a broad register of what it can do
well my guitar teacher has one of these and uses it on clean and it sound great but really you have to experiment with it but i imagine it sounds good either way.
Sounds great on this video, Direct to clean amp setting, I would bet with amp distortion on and gain high it would clip and over saturate tube circuit or power transistors causing circuit distortion not desirable for guitar amplifiers'
Truly an amazing demo! It covers most of the pedal's uniqueness such as the silent processing of the sound and the harmonic content. I have this pedal and I can really say no other distortion compares.
the funny thing about this pedal is in these videos i rarely see anyone using satch guitars or amps or even playing close to a satch style, and the pedal sounds like it would work for a totally different style of sound and playing, and yet, when satch goes up on stage and in the studio, he makes the thing sound like whatever he wants. is it just him? is it just that hes the best in the world, or that no one using the pedal uses it for satch stuff?
i have a valve king 112, a 62 strat reissue, and the satchurator and its great ive yet to play it an a gibson but i did paly it with a music man Luke and it just sings
its an analog distortion, and since the mg series are solid-state amps, it wouldnt work. analog distortions work only with tube-driven amps. if you tried it, it would sound really crappy unfortunately. but what you can get is a tube pre-amp pedal, which takes care of that. they have built-in tubes, so it makes your amp act like a tube. they range anywhere from 30 bucks to 300 bucks.
sure thing mate. i think the best are the ART ones, the electro-harmonix, and the behringer ones. id go behringer for price, the ART for professional quality, and the electro-harmonix because theyre electro-harmonix. they rock and have never let down a good guitarist for. good luck!!
save yourself some money guys ...build a dr boogie pedal...has loads of gain and can be quietened with the guitar vol..proper control...i build these babies they are the nuts....do it you won't be dissapointed....i made mine for 25quid,
...he said, as he typed away on a Chinese made keyboard, using a Chinese made mouse, using a Chinese made monitor, and a Chinese made PC with a Chinese made network card.
I know this pedal is great for shredders, but I play ska punk, I also have quite a few guitar solos which is why Im interested. Does the pedal have a good sound for punk/hardcore style power chords? If it has that and the lead playing potential in one box then thats great.
I ran it through an old Twin Reverb with a strat, and I'm afraid to say it didn't sound so hot. I'm sure it's the strat, though; if you use humbuckers it'll probably sound great.
Could you compare it to another distortion pedal with the strat? e.g. It sounds like (insert pedal name here) Because I've got a strat and I'd like to see what you think since you've tried it
I like to use the generics; a TS9 Tube Screamer, a BK Butler Tube Driver with a Groove Tube in it, and a Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face. I strongly recommend a TS9, not many things compare to that in my mind, especially for the price.
What's the rig behind that stomp box? Why nobody explains the things as they should (guitar world in this case)? that pedal is not going to sound like that if you plug it into a shitty amp of course..
I never had enough money to get a good tube amp to make this type of pedals sound good. People don't let be cheated with this stomps, if you have a shitty amp they will sound shitty.
Same goes for Ibanez jemini, boss ds-1 or whatever..
Well obviously Joe's tone works for non-Satch stuff as well. It's pretty versatile I'd say but definitely try it out first. It's a bit too pricey to just bluntly buy.
Those guitars sound great usually, must be the EQ on his amp combined with the mic that's making it sound muddy. The reverb cant help either. The Satchurator still sounds good though.
well, its not celan sound , ha have there a bit reverb , ...som ist not clean..dooh , but i have it home and on the clean clean (no reverb everything) and when i tap ON- button , it have a ..ooh..orgasm tone
Great demo! great playing and detailed description about the pedal. Now if only my retailed store in Ottawa calls me to say the Vox satchurator has arrived after waiting for it for over a month. I can give this beast a wail. I can wait to hear what it sounds like with my Paul reed smith custom 24. Thanks for the clip.
has any one played this satchurator pedal through a epiphone slash signature les paul goldtop with alnico seymor duncans with a vox ad50vt single speaker amp id like to know what it sounds like
Theres a video of a guy on the TUBE playing a VAI song on a Jem but using the Satchurator. It just goes to show you dont have to be a Joe Ho to use it.
I would like to ask what kind of humbuckers you have on that epiphone, cause I really like the sound you're getting ... is it "just" satchurator -> delay -> clean channel type of setup in this demo ?
i've played hot hums on good cleans, and id didn't distort it like that... that sounds more like speaker/mic distortion (and i doubt he wanted it to sound that way, because it's crappy)
Bottom line is, it is an awesome pedal. I have one. My only complaint is that I see demos of people using it through a slightly distorted channel to great effect. If I do, its buzzy mud, regardless of the gain or volume level on the pedal.
I own the JS1200 and the epi pups are a blazing inferno compared to the Fred & Joe Dimarzios. The Dimarzios are like pussy cats. Albiet the JS is a very tonefull guitar.
I guess this means Satch doesn't like the distortion of his JSX amps. Amazing. The pedal as far as I can tell from the video sounds as good or better than the fucking amps distortion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
i don't think it has anything to do with the JSX's specific distortion. It has always been joe's style of FX to deliver the altered signal into a clean channel. This thing is just an 'improvement' on his main dist pedal, the DS-1.
this kinda reminds me of my plexi-tone by carl martin, the vox is half the price though

Theres a video of a guy on the TUBE playing a VAI song on a Jem but using the Satchurator. It just goes to show you dont have to be a Joe Ho to use it.

Nice demo, now I know I have to have one :)
I would like to ask what kind of humbuckers you have on that epiphone, cause I really like the sound you're getting ... is it "just" satchurator -> delay -> clean channel type of setup in this demo ?
thanks in advance

i have the pedal and it rocks but it takes some tweaking with your amp's EQ to get it perfect...not to harsh or muddy

I gotta say it's sounding pretty sweet, I'm right on the edge of buying one. This demo is pushing me even closer to doing so.

God I hate GW reviews. Does he even know that Joe uses the pedal into the CLEAN channel of the JSX ????
Why in the hell is this guys clean tone not even clean ?????

paul's "clean sound" isn't really clean...

A hot humbucker will distort a clean sound a bit. How hot are the epi humbuckers, anyway?
krelbar 3 years ago
i've played hot hums on good cleans, and id didn't distort it like that... that sounds more like speaker/mic distortion (and i doubt he wanted it to sound that way, because it's crappy)
OntZ 3 years ago
Either that or the amp hes playing through (whatever it is) doesn't have a lot of headroom.
krelbar 3 years ago 2
yeah that too, though it sounds like an over-compressed and placid clean sound through a lousy speaker, or mic'd with a lousy mic
OntZ 3 years ago
Bottom line is, it is an awesome pedal. I have one. My only complaint is that I see demos of people using it through a slightly distorted channel to great effect. If I do, its buzzy mud, regardless of the gain or volume level on the pedal.

btw i really doubt epi hums are that hot...

I own the JS1200 and the epi pups are a blazing inferno compared to the Fred & Joe Dimarzios. The Dimarzios are like pussy cats. Albiet the JS is a very tonefull guitar.

i have it and its a great pedal!! but dont plan on doing palm mutes with the more switch and gain cranked...it will just sound like rolling fuzz

I guess this means Satch doesn't like the distortion of his JSX amps. Amazing. The pedal as far as I can tell from the video sounds as good or better than the fucking amps distortion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
lizardneck 3 years ago
i don't think it has anything to do with the JSX's specific distortion. It has always been joe's style of FX to deliver the altered signal into a clean channel. This thing is just an 'improvement' on his main dist pedal, the DS-1.
