Hey guys, I was surfing some fairly extensive threads on a couple of other musician's forums (I won't mention any names) on the topic of "pedalboards of the stars" and well, while cool in concept, they don't really deliver. Apparently, outside of sevenstring.org, indie rock trash is really the big thing because be damned if I knew who 80% of the thrift store dressed losers featured on said threads.
So I thought it'd be cool to start an Official Sevenstring.org Pedalboards & Rigs of The Gods Thread!
Here, for purposes of benchmarking (and/or just curiosity perhaps) we will feature pics, schematics, vids, and write-ups for the gear employed by real guitar players, which shall, of course, include metal players, but also instrumental rock shredders, prog rockers, fusion noodlers, experimental knob-turners, and interesting guitarists (and bass players, and keyboardists) from any genre. So I'll get this rolling with this guy (you might have heard of him before):
Steve Vai
circa 2008 (current)
Schematic
Pedalboard (recent)
Note: Not illustrated in the schematic, the DS1 goes to the Fender Dual with the EVH Flange.
From Steve Himself
There you go, feel free to amend, and, of course add more Gods to the list.
Good call on dating Mick Mars' setup, Vai's and Petrucci's are pretty much recent, but to keep things accurate a circa time stamp is probably a good idea. 
I assume somewhere on the wet side, either in line or in the GP-100's loop.
