yeah, you can have a very decent sound with that equipment. It's difficult to find a good tone if you don't know exactly what every knob is doing to your sound... I remember that it helped me a lot to try to get a good tone from my amps with the help of a friend that could play guitar while I was changing and studying the setting. This will make you concentrate on the tone and hear exactly how every little change affects to the sound.

Try to sit everyday and "practice" tweaking of your amp, by doing A/B comparisons of your tone and Satrianis. This will get you closer if you spend some time doing it.
Your amp is a modelling amp. In order to become better in modelling other gear, what I've found of crucial importance is to actually know how the real gear sounds. This way you can easily create something similar. Try to find in the store JSX and play through it a bit, try to memorize the sound. I guarantee it will be easier to model it later on. As Gab recommended, try to model the tone without actually playing, cause this is a bit distraction. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

It's always a good idea to have your guitar plugged in to the amp, and also some music from where you want to emulate your tone from. Specially if the guitar is isolated sometimes, like:

Specially if the guitar is isolated sometimes, like: Angra! I used to hear a lot this album!  I agree about the A/B comparison, but once again, with the help of a friend it will be a bit easier... -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Sinisa Cekic @ Aug 4 2011, 10:05 PM) I would like to draw your attention to one important thing: Setting the amplifiers in the room, and garage, club,etc - are different things. What you hear in your room may sounds ideal,but also may sound a disaster on stage. ... +1 there are all sorts of issues to do with phase, reflexions, acoustics etc that will affect your tone and it will alter from one space to the next. So as Sinisa suggests you can't really rely on a 'set it and leave it' approach. You need to analyse Satch's tone and identify what makes it so and then adjust your settings accordingly. Thus as Todd says: QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Aug 4 2011, 11:29 PM) One thing that might help is this. Record yourself playing something that you would normally do, some lead/rythms, whatever, and record it clean. No FX at all. Then come out of whatever your recording with (line level, not speaker level) and go in to your fx and amp. That way, it's you playing and you can focus on tone. If you use a computer to record, you can put your recording on looping playback and have it go on for hours if you like while you tweak away. Start with your amp. Remove the pedal board entirely for a bit. Try to use each knob to see what impact it has on the sound. Go through them one at a time. Then try to create a setting you like. Jot down on paper, or email yourself with the settings or put it on a blog, whatever, just make notes as to what the knobs were set at when you got the sound you liked QUOTE ... Keep in mind JS is using killer gear that costs quite a bit and recording in a nice studio to boot. and mixed and mastered  -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
