This exquisite amplifier was captured just before leaving on the “Best of All Worlds Tour” with Sammy Hagar. Dialed in by Joe and captured by Jaimeson Durr at Red Rocker Studios in Northern California, these new Tone Models highlight Joe’s endless pursuit of great guitar tone and represent the latest chapter in his artistic journey.
“My 3rd Power Dragon 100 amp is a vintage-sounding and modern-featured head inspired by the legendary 1967/1968 Plexi Super Lead 100. It sounds like a roaring Plexi recorded with the best mics, preamps and EQs, perfectly balanced like a great, legendary recorded guitar track. Harmonically rich and touch-sensitive with plenty of gain on tap, there’s nothing quite like it. It’s my favorite new amp.”
– Joe Satriani
Dragon’s Lair
The Dragon amp is a collaboration between Joe Satriani and 3rd Power Amplification. It delivers a wide range of vintage and modern Plexi tones. The tones are rich and complex, like a great Plexi, with exceptional dynamics that make them fun and inspiring to play.
Carefully set up and miked at Red Rocker studio, Joe dialed in each Tone Model and captured it using advanced AI training to achieve unparalleled realism and dynamic response. Every nuance of this harmonically rich amp comes through in every capture. Notes bloom with a velvety texture, making both single lines and chordal parts ring with authority and clarity.
The Dragon amp Tone Models and Dragon skin are included with all new and previous Joe Satriani Amp Vault Signature Collection purchases. Existing users can add the new Tone Models by opening TONEX, going to the top-right Menu (hamburger) button, then Account and clicking Restore Purchases.
