He is twice the guitarist, and he plays twice the guitar. But he didn't have twice the overdrive he needed to keep up with his blistering licks and double-handed pyrotechnics. That's why he teamed up with Denmark's T-Rex Engineering a producer of high-end and custom effects pedals to create Michael Angelo Batio Overdrive. You only have to listen to Mr. Batio play to hear what this pedal can do add an exquisite overdrive to your guitar sound.
