In the video, Sweet demonstrates how essential the Tech 21 is to "Stryper" tones...

“I’ve spent years dialing in the Stryper tone and using many pedals and effects to do so. The THETA PRO DSP allowed me to create the perfect Stryper tone, all in one box – pre eq, distortion, post eq, effects, noise reduction and global eq’s for direct signals and cab signals. I have been truly blown away by the capabilities of this unit. Everything is amazingly usable in this box and it’s one of the best sounding guitar rigs available today – period! A Godsend and now you can have my signature version with my personal presets and tone.” -Michael Sweet

Sweet's Mesa 5-band EQ is clearly visible at 0:02.

"I’ve also got a Line 6 digital wireless, a delay pedal by Tech 21, the Tech 21 Boost Chorus, some Dunlop EQ pedals, and a ISP Decimator, which I love for noise reduction."

"On my pedalboard I have a Radial London Bones Distortion Pedal, which is their answer to a hot-rodded Marshall tone."
