[@BananasatLarge]

Historical Background of how this came together: For over 20 years Joe Satriani has tasked Alan Rosen of Bananas At Large with finding the perfect amplifiers for his needs. Joe and Alan have tried every high-gain amp on the market, many unique boutique brands and models, and even have imported amps from all around the world to try to find that one special amp that does it all for Joe. When Sammy Hagar announced the tour that will pay tribute to the songs of Van Halen with Joe at the helm, Alan knew it was time to custom-build THE amp to fit the VH tones and cover Joe’s needs. He went right to a trusted, long-time friend and ex-Bananas At Large employee… Dylana Scott of 3rd Power. Alan and Dylana spoke at length, reinforcing Alan’s opinion that only Dylana could make what Joe needed. With that Joe, Dylana, and Bananas At Large have come together to create The DRAGON SERIES AMPLIFIERS: A series of amplifiers designed to take the electric guitar to new heights of expression.

[@3rdpoweramps]

I want to thank Alan at Bananas for the confidence, support and partnership and of course, Joe for the opportunity!

[@BananasatLarge]

@@3rdpoweramps No one better! Love how things come full circle!

[@n0nyabznss]

The amp doesn't even tickle what the JSX or the JVM410HJS can do.

[@BananasatLarge]

@@n0nyabznss Nope it fully blows them away and doesnt fail on tour! 🤪

[@devilslide01]

Any chance there will be a combo version of this amp?​@@3rdpoweramps

[@gokhanersan8561]

I missed this type of juicy hard rock guitar. Fantastic work.

[@bluesful]

The solo in the intro song is fantastic.

[@Rikk_Klaww777]

Its crunchy but so smooth at the same time.! Just a sublime distortion to it.❤

[@chrisdiceart]

"I don't feel Tardy". LOVE IT! 🤣

[@ivicapavlovic3879]

The tone is very sharp, cutts my ears in half! Great!

[@BlueBanjoGrass]

That is one awesome sounding amp!!!

[@kendallrocks1965]

The Ping Pong delay in perfect time, at the beginning and through out gives this even more thumbs. This is how some of us will play through such a great amp. Don't worry it sounds just a awesome without any effects. Well done Mr. Nielson. 🌩🎸

[@iainwhite3476]

This is the best thing satch hasn’t recorded for 15 years, Stella tone and Melodie’s

[@bluecollarguitarist]

9:18 holy moly! Nailed that sound! Great video Mike!

[@BlueBanjoGrass]

Truly killer tone!!

[@yurylebedev1871]

This is the first instrumental guitar song of last 10 years that I really enjoy

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Oh wow!!! THANK YOU! 🙏☺️

[@rezakhan8290]

Satch has a very unique tone , which this amp carries. More of a nasally midrangey, vocally tone. Even though it is a Marshall based tone (Which I love) & it is still very versatile. Needed a little more demo of the clean tones. Thank you.

[@johnstitt2615]

Groovy song. Downloaded it. The tones and playing are bussin, ✌️👌🎸😎

[@DoubleDguitar]

Gonna age myself. I had “Live without a net” on Betamax. This amp sounds insanely good.

[@tawny624]

So did I. Ha ha...

[@DoubleDguitar]

@@tawny624 nice!! It’s a classic.

[@lyricbread]

Everything I’ve heard from this amp has been amazing. It addresses just about every concern I’ve had about Plexi style circuits. Well done 3rd Power!

[@BenEller]

Good lord this sounds amazing!!!

[@brownsfan7753]

Love your playing as always!!! The amp sounds great!!!

[@thesaj1110]

This got to Be the best sounding amp Sateriani ever had!

[@robstonezone354]

Great song Michael! And great tone from the Dragon

[@jamescassidy4045]

Sounds really awesome!!! Like how it can go from pretty articulate plexi/modded plexi style tones, to super compressed sounding, but never sounds weak, or unresponsive.

[@bradleystereoguitaramplifi9616]

Crisp and harmonic.

[@christopherkocher8132]

I always come away from Michael’s videos impressed at how good those Shabat Guitars sound.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Loved the intro, excellent chops

[@chatter7653]

I think that may my favorite gain sound I’ve ever heard in 40 years of listening and playing.

[@SuperCMO79]

My friends, this is why it's so important to playing/creating a mix/composition. What a intro jam joint Michael, that was pure 🔥great .

[@rabbleinarms5742]

little summer song thrown in at the end. nice.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Such a great album!!! 🤘

[@marcfavreauguitarist8788]

Sounds amazing

[@TomekGrzyb82]

Sound phenomenal... great playing as always Man!!!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@chrismundayguitar]

I want one… those sounds are fantastic

[@nickh1933]

Love the tone. Reminds me of my BE100 with the SAT and FAT switches on but with a different midrange. It’s cool! I think aI might get one.

[@johnnyice428]

Michael Nielsen I tuned to your channel to check out the Dragon and discovered a good guitarist with some tasty licks. I’m subscribed.

[@alan98296]

Great playing. Very nice.

[@Soloist1983]

Intro song is fantastic, and those features are so unique, the 400hz bump especially, you can tell how shrill that melody/lead tone is without it, I would have never thought that would have been needed, but it clearly is :)

[@starblaster77]

That amp sounds insanely great. Of course it wouldn't be without your great playing. Thanks for then review.

[@abrackas1]

Love the shirt!!!

[@freneticGTR]

The only guy who can do it justice. Great demo Michael!!

[@JeffAulich]

Congrats on the release @3rdpoweramps !!! Sounds amazing as always!

[@3rdpoweramps]

Thanks Jeff!

[@0megalul309]

​@@3rdpowerampskitchen sink is a goated amp

[@Tonebreakfast]

Sounds so awesome!!

[@tvx988]

So glad you finaly released your album , i m defintly in ,:) thanks

[@Jaxisagod5]

Wow, sounds great! Great playing too Mike!

[@ChrisPuckett]

Joe played this in New York with Steve Vai this year. His pedal board went out, and I was pretty sure he was playing directly through the half stack when his pedal board went out. His amp sounded amazing. Joes live sound is just about perfect

[@BenEller]

I was there and can confirm, Joe’s tone was AMAZING

[@ChrisPuckett]

@@BenEller next time one of my favorite guitar KZbinrs is in Manhattan we need to do shots :-)

[@RobChappers]

Sounds amazing! ❤

[@MaxPowersTastyTones]

Sick Intro! Awesome amp and video!

[@bigdavedave9865]

Fantastic intro track 😎👌🤘 amp sounds killer 🔥🔥🔥😊

[@flinto2002]

Incredible sounding as usual!

[@ClassofEighty2]

Mr. Nielson, always enjoy all your amp demos, but I also enjoy your playing and composition as well as the recording. That "Supertele" is pretty cool as well.

[@rockinchippy]

Awesome Mike ! 💥💥💥💥💥👊🏻

[@billporter3039]

Love the playing and the tones, Michael!

[@jasonstallworth]

Dude, extremely awesome playing in the beginning! I can tell this amp can be used for heavier styles, too. Really wanna try one of these!!

[@MartySchalkMusic]

HOLY ****. that sounds amazing 😍

[@QuickSticks8771]

Damn I love that tone

[@highgear1]

really great sounding amp and very cool ideas and design .... and your playing, man i love your phrasing and ideas ...

[@VP-eq4nc]

Nashville!! Home town advantage!

[@PeterMoore350]

Great review bro. Subscribed ! Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘

[@maltfusion6743]

Joe's best sounds are from 90's - Extremist, Time Machine and Crystal Planet. Clean amp platform and modded Boss DS-1. 😅

[@n0nyabznss]

Marshall 6100 on the clean channel dialed to edge of break up and pushed with a DS-1.

[@BillVerdon]

Yes... my favorite recorded tones too

[@Niviuk80]

I can not agree more. That was the sound that could reach the deep parts of my soul - DiMarzio FRED with rich harmonics, DS-1, 6100. Later all those experiments with Peavey and different stuff - the thrill was gone.

[@tjn0110]

Exactly. 💯

[@lordmatthewlukeobrien]

Agree.

[@MazaFx]

What a good tone, how well you always play!💯

[@adrianheuer8322]

Great amp demo. Bought your songs. Love discovering you. Hope you do more in the future. Live Satch and Eddie and live the couple singles you have out. Can't wait to hear more. Thank you!!!

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Wow! 😮 I want it!

[@blackroyaltoni]

Great demo!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

You are too kind! Thanks so much!

[@RobinSmithCGP]

Sounds incredible…thank you.

[@guiomarguitar]

Yeahh

[@shanemcconnell1736]

I’ve watched Too many of your videos, afraid I’m gonna start making that same guitar playing face

[@EngineMusicProductions]

[@danilofaggiolino7125]

Love the amp!!!! Love the Tee!!!!!!

[@PaulLembo]

Sweet!

[@rockyou42560]

Super need ❤ sound amazing 🎉🎉🎉

[@MRxr400]

I can't put my finger on the tone except it reminds me of a mesa rectifier or mark series with tight bottom and great mids. What a beast of an amp. way more character than i was expecting, but i think under your fingers, it shines even more

[@jfatta]

Deeeewd, your playing and these tracks & especially the solo RIPZ! Whoa!!! Tone is ok 2!

[@volumemacgillicutty3956]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaah!!!!!

[@PooNinja]

First saw those on his tour with Vai and i had to do some research, thanks for sharing this.

[@mfergel]

Definitely has that Satch tone to it. Interesting that it was designed to fit the VH tones as it sounds more like Satch tones than VH tones. I think it's that 'fat' sound that you mention.

[@nicopoppe4838]

First albums had a 5051 on them...

[@jegl1012]

That intro was da bomb!

[@DannyBrooks1]

We need a whole album!

[@thesaj1110]

I recommend listening to this song at 2x speed! Sounds killer!

[@ToneMasterGeneral]

Sounds like my old Crate Blue Voodoo. Cool stuff

[@alguitarchristie]

Crazy good sounding! And That guitar sounds killer! I love the Freq stuff.The EQ is so responsive! It's a delicious Rock machine!

[@DanaVastman]

Wonderful as always Michael. Thank you!

[@BradRocker]

Holy crap that sounds good !!

[@riffmondo9733]

3rd Power make excellent amps.

[@mrgadz7]

Outstanding ❤

[@eryckcrypton6412]

Phenomenal!

[@joeljacobson5511]

Sounds awesome!

[@michaelhorwitz4150]

Exactly what a signature amp should be! Beautifully made with amazing tone in collaboration with a signature artist. This amp is next level. All the features and the foot switch alone is amazing. Thank you 3rd power

[@emreemre369]

The intro piece was brilliant man, is that a Lollar set you got on the tele? That sounds fantastic as well.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thanks so much! If you sign up for newsletter on my site, you can download the mp3 and tabs. Yep, that's a Shabat Lion with a Michael Nielsen spec neck (tele), the bridge is a Lollar high wind Imperial, and the Neck is a Lollar El Rayo (which is not much different than a regular Imperial... maybe a little brighter and more single coily)

[@Polentaccio]

Unrelated but how about a tour of your new studio space? I'd love to see what that all looks like. Oh, and that lick at 2:12? Damn that's tasty.

[@internetmoney221]

Dylanna's Brown Eye 😮😂

[@Mike-pv3hg]

that thing has been plundered by many a strange man

[@jjschulz3472]

Yikes.

[@BFahz]

When you started your channel, you seemed to be a producer who played guitar. Taken a while to realize you are a fantastic guitar player who happens to produce. Great playing!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thanks man! That's really nice of you to say!

[@draper858]

Bringing the heat Mike!

[@AnnefalkTommy]

Some seriously juicy juice right The F There!

[@Fergieguitar]

Oooohhh that's nice

[@angusorvid8840]

Nice sounding amp, nice playing too.

[@thegeetarmann]

🤘😎🤘

[@tokk3n-hj4xg]

This amp is different from all the others I've heard, and it is the best sounding as well. I'm still a Hiwatt guy, but this amp kicks ass.

[@itsjohnnymillion]

I did finally find you on the QC Cloud! I'm JohnnyMillion on there. I actually captured some of your profiles before I sold my Kemper and they're not half bad. Terrific demo, too! 😅

[@plugnplaybaby]

Isn’t Joe famous for getting his distortion from a modded DS-1?

[@staggs5034]

Very impressed. This thing sounds good….real good.

[@godsinbox]

Sounds better than mean street at 6am

[@EUCRAZY_AU]

Ok no ones gunna say but i will DUDE your playing was spot on loved it ! satch loves new gear bring it on ! price is a little high maybe work on dropping it to get more folks keen !

[@eddieprice6098]

Love. That. Shirt. Want the amp too but that shirt....

[@warrenjoseph2605]

Some amps just give you that extra tone that modelers just can't quite reach, this just sounds that good

[@jconner3891]

Wish 3rd power would bring back the triangle 3/12 cabs. So cool.

[@lynyrddeville]

I love that concept and which Dylana spoke about on Tone Talk with Dave Friedman
