Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 1987. For the solo section of 'Always with Me, Always with You' on the 'Surfing with the Alien' album, Satriani used his Ibanez JS1 with DiMarzio PAF Pro pickups into a Scholz Rockman X100. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this specific solo. No evidence of additional pedals in the solo signal chain; overdrive/distortion and chorus/echo are from the Rockman unit itself.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced legato, expressive phrasing, and precise timing to match the melodic and technical demands of Satriani's playing, especially with the subtlety of effects and dynamic control.
