Pedals:
• Satch Wah - modelled after a Vox BBW Wah
• Satch Dist - modelled after an early '80s, Japanese-made BOSS DS-1
• 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.
The app will also include classic song presets from Satriani's discography and will be available from February via in-app purchase from within Amplitube CS for iPhone and iPad.
