I like Schenker...BUT....given the fact that I got way more Malmsteen than MSG , and yes I have listened to Michael a bit..even saw MSG once, but, I have to say I like Yngwie more....a big fan of triple, double, backwards appegios indeed...even did a blog that Malmsteen was part of

BTW , Pedals are for different tones and effects which add color to the guitarists arsenal ...that doesn't take away from their abilities as players although there are some players who do rely on effects rather then ability. Most great players use effects to add to the musical palate of their Instrusment giving it a much wider diversity then an electric guitar would otherwise have. Malmsteen is an amazing guitarist with amazing ability regardless of how many pedals / effects he may choose to incorporate to his sound.

That said I voted for Schenker even though Malmsteen is probably the more technical player of the two.
