hi guys I was looking around and found some great Steve Vai presets, but I am looking for a one to use for his song The Animal from Passion and Warfare. Any ideas?
A couple of tips
1. First off back then he used real amps Jose modded marshalls. So try the JCM 800 mod or the Friedman BE with the SAT on.
2. The Eventide H3000 plays a big part in the song so for the Harmonizer set it to P1 500 P2 -700 the trick is too blend the low harmony with the high one.
3. Set the mix so you still get some string definition when the pitch block is on. This adds to a bigger sound.
I agree to the things mentioned above - a few years earlier Steve borrowed an old (hot rodded) Marshall Plexi from Steve Stevens for the first David lee Roth Record in combination with a Boss Super Overdrive and 30W Celestions (G12H) - maybe that`s a good starting point - you can go on from there to use the 800 Marshalls..at least that`s what I did in the audio files to this Vai Tutorial/Workshop (sorry only german, but tabs and music is international language):

Very nice tone- would fit my Ibanez JEM 10th Anniversary perfect - pls can you update it to fw 18? :eagerness:
If you feel like this tone is close to what you're looking for, I'll dig this preset out and spend some time updating it for 18. It was made on 6 or something haha
