Satch's MIJ DS-1s are modded. And he will not share what has been modded... its his tone secret.
Vai, has used an MIJ DS-1 and then for a moment, the Keeley DS1, then a Keeley TS9DX, now back ot the MIJ DS-1.
I guess by now, you know which DS-1 to look out for eh.
For the TS side, the boutique makers, the good ones, have improved upon and far surpassed the orignal TS in terms of sound, feel, noise level, versatility etc etc. Far surpassed. But guitarists are a backward people...
Always seeking to emulate the old tones...
