Introducing the new Mesa Boogie John Petrucci Signature JP-2C Head, this one in Black Taurus. If you play electric guitar, chances are you’ve heard of John Petrucci and Dream Theater. You may even know of Mesa's 30-Year relationship building many of his favorite amplifiers – the very same amplifiers you might have chosen for your sound. This distinguished list includes the MARK IIC+™, Dual Rectifier®, TriAxis™, MARK IV™ and MARK V™ to name a few. Inspired by their long standing relationship with John Petrucci and more than 30 years of collaboration our friends at Mesa Boogie are proud to introduce a MESA® first; The JP-2C™ is their first unlimited-build Signature Amplifier. In celebration of John’s talent, his life-long dedication to our shared art, and the long relationship they’ve enjoyed with him, they are proud to introduce a MESA® first; The JP-2C™ - Mesa's first unlimited-build Signature Amplifier. And YES… it’s a MARK IIC+! A next generation Re-Issue of the legendary amp so many Recording Artists, MESA enthusiasts and Tone Freaks the world over covet, often searching high and low to find. Only THIS IIC+ pulls in an enhanced feature set born from our collaboration with John over a period of three decades of research and development. Much like a race car or fighter jet, the JP-2C strips down to bare essentials to get the job done effectively, in the simplest way. It’s a purpose-built, no compromise rendering that aims at one single goal; deliver the most aggressive, purest sounding IIC+ EVER in a versatile package that delivers the goods to meet John’s recording and stage needs. All Things Heavy! But more specifically; the highest headroom Clean sound possible, a Crunch rhythm that has Lead Channel gain available, but is tight, grinding and articulate, and the ultimate Boogie® Lead Channel with access to even more saturation and the ability to track any technique and speed while also reaching to the stratosphere for single note solos. In that spirit, unlike other MESA amplifiers, the JP-2C foregoes the concept of multiple voicing Modes derived from other MESA circuits and instead dedicates each of the three Channels exclusively to circuit voicing’s of the MARK IIC+, including the new SHRED Mode, which further enhances the top end harmonic layering of the original IIC+ Lead Circuit.
