Hi Joe! I haven't posted in a really long time, but I just wanted to congratulate you on Black Swans. That is a true spiritual rain maker of an album! Thankyou for creating so much inspiration in this world.

Hi Mr.Satriani
I suppose that you are still using Keleey DS1 for recordings.
Or at least your Satchurator is very similar designed to that distortion pedal.
You can (ask someone to) do a simple mod for improving volume control. JSX is high gain amp, so you are probably using DS1 just as a booster. Therefore it is a bit tricky to get sweet spot.
You can replace Volume pot 100KB (linear) with 82K Metal Film resistor in series with 22KA (Logarithmic).
Or 68K metal film with 33K log pot (unusual value for pot though)
In this way you can get fine tuning in desired area, and all that without changing tonal characteristic.
I did the same and it is perfect booster for SLO and X88r.
Regards
Laza

Episode 3 is not up yet!! AHHhhhhh!!
michelle: I took a re-take on Episode 1, and Mikey fits all the criteria like a glove as far as having the discipline & power.... But the highlights of Episode 3 sez they were "blown away", and I'm wondering if Blind Guardian's drummer didn't get the gig?! F*cking Celebrity Drummer going on here, lol!!
But, one important thing to remember is that John stated that the new DT drummer better be "unquestionably" THE dude..no "hmmmm, I don't know about this guy" stuff from the fans.... And in that context, and on paper, Mike Mangini is the guy to bet on.... BTW, I read a few weeks ago that Blabbermouth said Marco "wasn't" selected, but I blew it off....
I guess I'd better set my oven to 350deg. of Inner Turbulence, LMAO!!!!

Awww, finally got around to watching the Dream Theater auditions...I totally miss the "Camel" in the band, he's one of a kind...
...and I know we haven't seen the last two drummers yet, but I gotta say out of all the five so far, our favorite was Minniman. He gots skillz AND a great personality. Can't wait for tomorrow's video on the other two, and the big decision....
Wasn't sure if I was gonna stay a fan of DT without Portnoy but...I still love their music...The Spirit must Carry On....

I wish I could help out the South or Japan or anyone in need. But I work weekends at a movie theater for minimum wage, making less than $2000 a year, then college is usually $1800 a semester so I have no extra cash.
I need to win the lottery.

It's time for some new Vox Satriani pedals like a chorus or octaver or harmonizer. Or a speaker simulator that's even better than a Palmer.
