I have Crossroads on DVD, watching it showed me a couple things: He's not using the Green Meanie like I thought he was. He's using a red sparkle Charvel, looks like a soloist. The pickups are direct mount, not on a pickguard. Although I'm sure they're PAF Pros, no doubt about it. He is using the Carvin though. As far as the effects go...I remember reading somewhere when Steve was talking about what he used that he kept it pretty simple. I don't think he used the Eventides on it, I remember him saying that he had his Phase 90 (doesn't sound like he used it) and a Crybaby. There were other things too but I can't remember them. I absolutely love Steve's sound in the 80's, like on "Is This Love" where he must have had every effect he had on it, but the Jack Butler sound is more stripped down and basic. I'd try just a plain Marshall amp, a compressor, reverb, a wah pedal, and a PAF Pro-equipped guitar if I was going for that sound.
