His rig has become considerably smaller since the recent addition of the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx as a stereo effects processor. Joe shows no signs of slowing down as he still continues to perfect his playing, gear and career. And for his guitars, Satriani has been using two different Ibanez signature models-the JS1000 and the new JS2400. With a career spanning over 20 years, Joe Satriani has never been more popular. The heads are based on a JVM410 format, but each one has been tweaked and altered throughout his current tour. For his amps, Satch is using three Marshall JVM410 heads that have been converted into working prototypes for a future signature Marshall head that should be released sometime in 2011. For his effects, Satriani uses a Vox Satriani Big Bad Wah Wah, Vox Satriani Ice 9 Overdrive, Vox Satriani Satchurator Distortion, two Vox Satriani Time Machine Delays, a Voodoo Lab Proctavia, a DigiTech Whammy, and a custom true bypass switch built by amp guru Ben Fargen (Fargen Amplification and Sonic Edge Effects).

In this Rig Rundown segment, Satriani walks us through all the gear and equipment he's using during the tour.
