How does John get the volume boost for solos live?
As you may already know, as you raise saturation/compression with preamps, the distortion pedals get more and more tamed. The CE1 takes care of this.
But how does he get this huge volume boost in solos while still mantaining the edge of breakup tone?
Example from Scar Tissue first solo in Slane (isolated guitar track)
Maybe it was boosted in post for the DVD?

Johns Fuzz tone.
Any thoughts on Electro-Harmonix Satisfaction fuzz pedal for Johns tone?
The reason im asking is because this pedal goes for 50- 60 euros and i like ehx pedals.
(The two knob version fuzz pedal).

What do you think about the Fireaid performance (tone, solos)?
I think the whole concert was great with many amazing artists. I think the Chili Peppers sounded really good after a few months break. John's solos was actually maybe my favorite of this tour (especially the Californication and Black summer). What I noticed tho is that his clean tone was a bit off, almost like his old CE-1 wasn't functioning right. It was really noticeable during the Black Summer and Under the bridge. It felt way more distorted than usual. Maybe he just pushed the preamp little more. But the clipping just sounded weird to me.

TROWFTD vinyl (again)
Hi folks - got into a bidding battle on eBay for a limited edition TROWFTD record - fortunately I swerved first because there are two versions - one was limited to 1500 and the other, who knows??
Way to check? The ltd version has matrix numbers that go M1A, M2B, M3C,M4D.
The other version has matrix numbers MIA MIB MIC MID.
Both pressed by pirate pressings but no one seems to know where the masters came from (perhaps someone on here does?). Looks like the 1500 ltd version was approved by Warner Australia - but not sure.
There are three on eBay at the moment - two of them you can visibly see the MI matrix numbers - the third claims to be M1A-M4D but by the looks of it the inner parts of the record have been blurred so you can’t see this.
Anyway - thought I’d mention here if anyone is interested.

Pedals used on Scar Tissue solos (Slane Castle)
I used to think he only used the DS2 for the first 2 solos and added the Big Muff for the third. But the DS2 alone lacks some "nasal" grit to it, so now I think he uses both pedals for all the solos, not just the third one. The third one sounds different because he switches to the bridge pickup. I just wanted some confirmation to this info.
Does he also kick the Micro Amp for these? Presumedly using the effects loop to turn them on all at once.
