    Petrucci's ToT amp settings

    Haha yeah. I guess us mere mortals have to tweak it a bit though

    Petrucci's ToT amp settings

    Just to let everyone know, I did find a pretty close tone that I like alot, on Vintage mode, used somewhat close to these settings, but I had to back off the gain and bass and boost the treble a little to get good clarity. So a little closer to his settings on the modern channel, but I'm using...

    Petrucci's ToT amp settings

    Thanks guys. I'm guessing he used vintage for leads and modern for rhythm, if I could only choose one (since they aren't foot switchable its inconvinient to switch between them for live use and I might have to tweak the knobs, etc), do you think I should go with Modern or Vintage?

    Petrucci's ToT amp settings

    Yo, I'm looking to get John Petrucci's tone from Train of Thought or Octavarium. I have a JP70 that I'm playing through a Mesa Single Rectifier Rect-O-Verb 50, and he used all Road King (Dual Rectifier) on that album, so I think I should be able to come pretty close. Do you know what...

    Also, IDK if this was mentioned yet, but this guitar will be available as a 7 string version, which is nice.

    NGD: Chapman Ghost Fret

    H(late)NGD, I've been wanting one of these myself. About the "hipshot", you probably won't get an answer until after NAMM ends and Chapman is back at home in England. Honestly the bridge that is on it seems fine, but they should correct the description and do something to make it right with the...

    EBMM JP16

    I like it. It is more pointy and sleek, more like an RG (maybe Petrucci has a bit of nostalgia for his old Ibanez models?). Not sure what to think about the floyd, and even if it has a piezo, how is he supposed to control it without the switch? Seems strange. But I like that, even though it is...

    Mesa JP-2C John Petrucci Signature Amp (MKIIC+ Reissue)

    That looks amazing! Haha and I just bought an amp yesterday (but it probably doesn't matter because this will most likely be at least $2k... and another 1,000 for a good cab). This will be on my list of things to eventually buy.

    FX loop questions (digital vs analog pedals in serial vs parallel loop)

    Thanks! The amp I will most likely be using is a Mesa Rectoverb 50, and I have considered both the flashback and corona (although lately I've been looking at the dreamscape which is basically a corona + flanger and vibrato, and I believe it does have a kill dry), so my set up would actually be...

    FX loop questions (digital vs analog pedals in serial vs parallel loop)

    So, most people run modulation or time effects such as delay or phaser through the FX loop in their amp rather than in front, to avoid the effect from going haywire when you switch channels (unless you don't use OD from the amp, but only from a pedal). I know what the difference between parallel...

    Clean Rectoverb settings?

    Hey, I'm going to test out and possibly purchase a rectoverb 50 combo, and I need someone to give me advice on good clean settings. My ideal clean tone would be something similar to john petruccis cleans, (ex. Repentance, On the Backs of Angels intro, In the Name of God intro, you get the idea)...

    Peavey JSX vs Mesa express 5:50 vs Mesa Rectoberb 50

    Just to clarify, my budget is like $800-$900 tops. So the street rod, stiletto, mark iv and mark v are all a few hundred bucks or more out of my range (unfortunately. A mark v would be my ideal choice). I don't like the nomad as much as the rectoverb or jsx either. However, the renegade sounds...

    Peavey JSX vs Mesa express 5:50 vs Mesa Rectoberb 50

    I am ruling out the 5:50. Thanks everyone for your advice, I have actually found a used rectoverb in my area that I plan to go check out and give it a try. If I like it, I will buy it, and if not, I will probably get the JSX!

    Peavey JSX vs Mesa express 5:50 vs Mesa Rectoberb 50

    I'm going to be getting a new amp, and I have narrowed it down to a few options. Peavey JSX (combo or head and cab) Mesa Boogie Express 5:50 combo Mesa Rectoverb 50 combo Those are the main options. I would probably be purchasing used to stay within my budget. Tones: I play melodic...

    Amp for Petrucci/Satch Tone (budget)

    The cleans and leads on the JSX sound great, haven't found a good demo of rhythm tones for metal on it. The Mesa Mark III sounds basically perfect, but the only ones I have seen for less than $800 are used with a bit of damage (broken knobs, popping noise when adjusting volume, etc) so I'm...
