It's not online at the moment but in Vai's night by night journal of that tour it seems that his amp(which was modded) blew every few nights so I'm not sure I would want this...

And his sound wasn't all that great to begin with...

Nice conversation piece though...

I seem to remember he had a distortion or OD pedal for solos only.

I never cared for his tone. For the most part it is too laboratory sterile. Definitely not a plexi, and I know it is 76-80, as I have one. Just curious of the exact year. For no particular reason other than curiosity.

I didn't care for his tone either however it was still better than Ed's 5150 album tone IMO.

I also had an early 70's Marshall with the small logo with a Ross Robinson mod. That thing was a beast! I sold it to Chris Poland back in 1991.

Megadeth Chris Poland? WTF dude? That's insanely awesome! Their best songs were with him "My Last Words & Black Friday"

Yep, My band room was across the hall from him in Vernon, Ca (when he was doing Damn The Machine) I was jamming with Ross Robinson and Dave McClain at the time before they were famous of course.

Ha, just came over to post this. Beat me to it.

Very cool piece of history.

"What we've been doing, which is great and certainly cost saving, is I train in the sand pit in McDonald's. I do a few laps. I go through the tunnel a few times. The kids don't mind if I smoke. Plus, when I'm done, lunch is right there."- DLR 2003
