More dates are set to be added to the tour soon.
Malmsteen gave fans a small tour of the pedalboard he’s been taking on tour in a YouTube video last year, showcasing an array of stomp boxes, most routing to a Boss ES-8 Effects Switching System decked out in Ferrari stickers. Other gear highlights the shred legend shared included Dunlop Cry Baby wah pedal, a MXR Dyna-Comp and his signature Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive Pedal.
