that vai video is so funny love vai :D he knows exactly how people think of him. and hes not afraid to expose himself. love it. as for the pedal i didnt hear much of a difference between the channels fromm that vid and it sounded pretty much like vai sounds. plus that peddle will make u sound a bit like vai but did u hear all those processed sounds and choruses and delays behind the distortion. to truly sound like vai u need pro tools and 30k or more on custom desgin.
