Presence 6
Treble 5.5
Middle 3
Bass 4
NO EQ
FX: TC Electronic Hyper Gravity compressor pedal with JP EverComp toneprint/ Multi-Tap delay/chorus (generated by Fractal Axefx XL+)
Recorded with John Petrucci Ernie Ball MusicMan Majesty with DiMarzio Illuminator pickups into Ch. 1 of the JP2C through a Rectifier Traditional 4x12 Straight with Mesa Custom Celestion Vintage 30 speakers.

Smooth, articulate, a powerful but yet contained force of nature...John's beard it's really a work of art.
The amp sounds nice too.
Ha! Well played, Felipe... :D
this amp sounds so nice and clean it cleaned my room
Stormrider1320 hehehe...
How very generous of it!
I've always been a fan of Petrucci's taste for cleans. So big, so chime-y, and so defined.
MESA/Boogie.. just wanted to say I've been playing shows with the Triaxis + 2:ninety and I've never had so many compliments on my tones. Thank you!!
0:45 When you're trying to get the word count on your essay
Great amp and sounds, helps having such a great guitarist with such taste for rich chords.
John is such an awesome guitarist and musician. When he plays chords, it's magical, it's amazing. I could listen to him all day!
2:47 - 4:27 What a wonderful moment *.*
I almost gonna cry one of the most beautiful tones I've ever hear in my life!
The fact john knows every note, every chord, the ability to play that on his guitar, all those time signatures and knowing how to play that within a song.. he is also involved in the proces to create the perfect sound...
Damn...Dream Theaters live sounds and miking sounds better than a lot of bands record sounds.
Ive been using a mesa/boogie mark 4 combo as my main amp for 6 years. Stacked with a 4X12 blue voodoo with vintage 30's there is absolutely nothing that amp cant do. Hats of to you boogie.
Many thanks, +Tyler Wetzel. We're proud of the tones and features from this amp, and the amps before it that created the potential to do this one. Rock on! :D
Only John can make RUclips have great sound quality! Thanks for the upload!
A new JP tone video holy shit. Thanks guys!
Mega Kudos to John!
You guys did a great job, It sounds immense!
Thank you, +tallica! :D
MESA/Boogie is it available in combo version?
Enrique M.
Available as head only, Enrique. Thanks for your interest. :)
Mesa slays. I always get compliments on all my shows for how clear my guitar cuts through compared to all the other bands. I know that has a lot to do with playing and setup but the amp has a lot to do with it as well.
Gorgeous cleans. Great video, guys.
Absolutely amazing clean sound!
I love JP so much
I really need this clean tone
i'm so getting one of these somehow this year. this amp sounds incredible.
reall really good, makes me feels like in heaven
This amp is beautiful.
Everything is just perfect ! I would buy one day
Now this is probably the part of the amp that beats my randall. Great cleans. The distortion channels my Randall's can still sound better to my ears. But this clean is to die for, and definitely does a better job than my randall's.
wow beautiful clean indeed!
John Petrucci is God Of Guitar. So Great
Wish I could afford one of these....what a nice amp!
so beautiful
Thank you! :)
That is fuckin' BEAUTIFUL!!!
Sounds so nice without any effects. I'd love to hear John playing more stripped back guitar stuff, just coil/tone control and gain adjustment. That ethereal sound just veils his beautiful guitar playing
Beautiful Sound!!
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL VIDEO..
Magnificence at its finest.
intro heaven's cove
beautiful!!!!!!!!!
3:32 onwards...... TAKE MY SOUL. HAVE MY BABIES!!!!
Amazing tone
my god i want this amp
theres a reason now i seeeeeee!
What I would really love is for Mesa to come out with a lower wattage version that doesn't also lose features.
The Mark V is a wonderful amp but too loud for me.
The Mesa 5-25 is also wonderful except that I want to be able to foot switch between clean and crunch.
A 25 watt version of this would be great.
The Mark V 25 has a foot switch that can switch between its channels... So you can switch between clean and crunch
Love that clean Crisp babe !
Sick
2:29 'Schmutz' is actually a German word, meaning 'dirt'.
Which german immigrants brought with them, coming to America :3
Petrucci 🎸💯🤘🏻🤝🏻💪
God I love Metal Santa Claus aka John Petrucci !!!
That beard could slay giants, goodness.
I love 2 ecquies.
His chords reminds me of King Diamond
Black Horsemen))
Right on. Good call.
Love the JP-2C - but still trying out how to get my Helix to play nice in the effects loop. Seemed to be easier with the Mark V with the FX Loop level knob. I'm sure I'll get there eventually.
2:55 reminds me of Diablo 3 New Tristram Soundtrack
3:01 Steve Morse walking in the background?
big beard! JP DT awesome
There are many companies with the first name Paul, that been trying to copy the Mesa sound amp, and failed. There is only one Mesa Boogie.
Many thanks, +Bill Benson. Appreciate the kind words. :)
id love to buy that pedal board
If the death sounds like FX mode it would be perfect.
Like his clean sound but if he would put just a bit of dirt on it would sound amazing with all his nice chords
Some of this riff brings to mind system of a down
I'd love to try a Les Paul Custom into the JP-2C...
Sounds ridiculous, +David Oakes. Punch for days. :)
I have a 2011 Les Paul Traditional and a Blackstar HT 100 and that's pretty *phat* :)
Epic beard!
2:54 What song is that? Or is that just a jam
What is the name of the song he was playing? Thanks
Should I unload my Mark IV combo or Mark V combo for this? Neither? Keep hoarding M/B amps? Will do.
What song was John playing at 2:47?
Heaven’s cove from the astonishing
Kool
What song/songs is he playing here? Awesome stuff.
What differentiates this Mark IIC+ circuit from the version integrated in the Mark V?
Great question, +Azael VI - The difference is mainly in the power section. The Mark V power section is Simul-Class (Class A AND Class A/B) and because of this, the overall sound is slightly smoother, slightly more compressed and forgiving and slightly 'jucier' to play. The JP-2C is a full Class A/B with a tremendous power transformer that was used on original Mark IIC+ amps and the result of this power section and transformer is huge punch, clarity, detail and immediate response in attack. The gain, saturation and harmonic layering will be very similar between the two amps, but you will FEEL the difference between them if you were to do a side-by-side comparison. Hope this helps and thanks for your interest! :)
The more I watch JP demo his Boogie this feeling gets stronger that next time I buy an amp I switch to the american sound from the british. Can anybody tell me which home-practice-combo Mesa prooduces cleans like this?
Mark Five: 25 is a great place to start. Many comparable sounds with lower wattages and compact format. Thanks for watching and thanks for your interest! :)
Thanks guys! I definitely put it on my gear list.
Ia the clean channel the same as the one found in the Mark V (Clean or Fat) or is it something new/different???
Great question, Victor - The clean sound in the JP2C is more similar than different to the Mark V Fat. But because of the transformer in the JP2C and John's request for the ultimate clean headroom, the clean channel in the JP2C is definitely tighter, punchier and very pristine, sparkling and detailed. Lots of players are LOVING the added headroom and pristine clean from the JP2C.
I see, that's great. I have channel 1 on my mark V set to what John suggests on one of your old videos and sounds very similar to this. Awesome tones.
Mesa's are the best.
Hi Mesa Boogie... i m looking to try to reply this kind of sound on my triaxis and 2x90 mesa..please could you suggest me some setting or lead channel to create a similar sound?thx a lot and all the best..have a great time. Daniele (Enigmatic CHAOS - Italian Dream Theater Tribute Band)
Loves the tone, but I still prefer the Roland JC-120
Jordan Zacharias james hetfield uses that for his clean right?
Don Urbano Binasbas III Yep
1:40 song plz
What song is he playing in the opening sequence? I love the progression.
Nic George , he's playing "On The Backs of Angels" from the album A Dramatic Turn of Events. This song is awesome.
he's playing heaven's cove
Dipo is right, Heaven's Cove from their last album "The Astonishing"
Hey guys, you're right. Sorry. My mistake. : )
No problem man! Just keep listening these 2 badass songs! ;)
When I have the reverb on in the first channel and I switch from 2nd or 3rd to 1st, I get that fading noise. Any way I can get rid of that or do I just need to always turn off reverb before switching to the first channel?
The reverb fading is normal, Colin - it's built in to the circuit to make sure the reverb circuit doesn't get spiked with a pop when changing channels.
Yeah, a pop would be much worst but I do get a big pop when I switch from first to third, just once though and then it is good after that. This is during each time I turn it on.
I'll have to get used to double tapping, I guess where I like to leave my reverb on for my clean channel (1st).
Hi Colin - OK - glad to hear it is just the first switch that makes that he pop. That is normal operation and the way people deal with that is to switch the amp a few times - even in standby - and then you won't have that experience. Make it a part of your power up routine and after a few times you won't even notice it. :) Thanks for your reply and hope the am,p is sounding great!
MESA/Boogie Thanks for getting back to me. It is an amazing amp!
What midi foot controller is he using?
Thanks.
RJM Mastermind
After 3.31 what's name that song ? Do u know
Should be Dream Theater's song 'Chosen'!
What was the opening clean tone from ?
What Speakers are John using?
Mesa Celestion Vintage 30s
Is John using the middle position of the pickup's? Anyone knows?
Back and forth between bridge and neck, +Javier SM. Just have to watch his pickup switching closely. He switches often in his solos.
Javier SM John tends to be very methodical with regards to when and where he uses certain pickup settings. Typical for JP would be as follows: Clean = middle switch position (with the tone knob pulled on the newer versions of his guitars to just get the two inboard coils active in parallel), Heavy Rhythm: bridge pickup alone, Lead: Neck pickup alone when playing higher on the neck, Bridge pickup alone when playing in the lower regions of the neck. He does sometimes stray from this formula, but it's fairly easy to tell by just listening...the middle position sounds like a Strat in switch positions 2 and 4 (bridge and middle or neck and middle), the Bridge pickup alone is very aggressive and loaded with harmonics, and the Neck pickup alone is very smooth and buttery.
This is awesome, Dan Hall - Thank you for sharing such detail!
Yes what song is that I'm Gotta know
It's off The Astonishing. Disc 2. Heavens Cove I think *as i'm sat here thinking about it*.
Either Heavens Cove or " Chosen "...
what is the intro song?
heaven's cove
thank my good man.
anyone got tabs for this?
It's heaven's cove
indonesia hadir ok M/B...
man if i only had 2500.00, and thats just for the head, no cabinet, no pedals, no effects....maybe in the next life.
To be honest, to really get this sound, you really need to be running a stereo rig. Ideally, you'd want two identical amps to accomplish this but it can be done with two different ones too. So it ends up being an even more expensive setup! Hopefully you win the lottery as there's nothing more pleasing than a stereo rig!
a brand new 2500.00 boogie does not need anything if you are just playing in your house with it. when it comes to recording or playing live - everybody uses all that rack system stuff regardless of what kind of gear they use........
Petrucci look like a pirate.. hehehe Great sound and great gear, though! Cheers!
I don't have a 7 string guitar. I drop my e.
love the dyed beard ! totall plastic
Add some Schmutz!
it better sound clean for 2500+ dollars.............
no more rock stops gotta leave
John is a guitarist and caveman.....
Schmutz. Exactly
Whats the name of the last song?
