Sounds really good. Not a tone I've ever chased but definitely has that Vai sound going on. He always does high quality clips which help too.

 

[JKD]

Very nice...smooth! \m/

...but Vai recorded that tune long before the Legacy was developed.

Sounds really good.

Wow...That sounds great...About as smooth a gainy module can be... :shock:

I'm pretty impressed at how close it comes to the tone from the Vai recording.

This. I wonder what the recording chain was? How much post, etc...

What was Vai using at that time if not the Carvin? That is a nice tone none the less...

Bogner 100B I believe.

 

[VitaminG]

according to Guitar One's Oct '00 transcription (yea, I had to drag it out :lol: ), he used his black Ibanez 7 string into a Marshall.

 

[ricky]

Which Marshall did he use? I am wondering if he had Carvin maybe take a Marshall and re-design it for the legacy.

 

[buriedorburned]

Wow Just plain wow!

Amazing sound and playing.

Very smooth indeed and captures that unmistakable Vai thing. I'm sure For The Love of God has been recorded at numerous occasions live and I think it's closer to those performances than the original studio recording. The original has that stiff JMP mid that is pretty fatiguing to my ears. And I'm sure since then Vai has had several takes on signature pickups and what's not developed and subsequently moved away a bit from his original tone in other aspects as well.
