Pedals:

• Satch Wah - modelled after a Vox BBW Wah

• Satch Overdrive - modelled after an early '80s, Japanese-made BOSS OD-1
• Tube Overdrive - modelled after a mid-80s Chandler Tube Driver
• Satch Octave - modelled after a Fulltone Ultimate Octave.

Amplifiers:

• Satch VM - modelled after Satriani's Marshall JVM410HJS signature head and SJ50, modelled after a '93 Peavey 5150, both with matching cabinets
• Boston 100, an expanded version of the '82 Scholz Rockman model with stereo mode and cabinet modelling.
