In this video, John demonstrates how he uses Channel 3 of his signature Mark IIC+ for single note solo sounds and explains some of his settings and approaches to getting great lead sounds that sit perfectly in a live band mix. John also highlights his signature delay sound that adds stereo width to the lush, soaring classic Boogie gain.

Petrucci es fantástico, y mesa boogie lo ayuda a tener ese tono comprimido, y denso. Grandioso sonido
Like your fathers once Said. Luck is Not what you're giving
1:22
A storm.
Yeah nice outfit
What song on this video?
Chase his tone and be ready to drain your bank account
That playing is so spectacular, it sounds insane
Which song is he playing at the beginning?
Killer amp and priced well :). 3 channels, 2 EQs, full MIDI. Can't go wrong.
Is there a Guitar Pedal that does this? I have a super-high-end Muff and it doesn't cut-thru in a Band mix?
Love the toné but how come the cabs are not miked?
What song??
Love seeing john playing and explaining tone. If he had an youtube channel I would watch it all day! Mesa please make more and more videos with him. Also, what a beast of an amp. Sounds amazing
Any idea what the subdivisions of his two delays are?? It's not 1/4 + dotted 1/8th, but I can't figure it out
why I can't hear the sound like this from DT's album that released recently
whose fault?
You can hear horses and bears from his guitar.
Please check out #abim finger. 11 year old
What's the specific frequency that's being boosted when the presence knob is pulled?
Would be nice to see a different pickup setup on this amp.. I mean what does it sound like with a fender strat or seymour duncan pick ups or different dimarzios etc..
mother of all tones!!!! please john have mercy!!!
santa clause?
Liquid Distortion Experiment
God, that intro gets me every time!! The tone! The melody! UGHH
I m looking to get the same sound on the triaxis with 2:90 Stereo simul class with two 2×12 Mesa Boogie Recto Horizontal Cabinet…and i m trying the lead 2 red..Amazing..
I want to see a Kemper do this! Believe me I tried! I did! It's really good, but it can't get the dynamics of the tubes. This tone is beautiful!
This is a tone that costs how many months salary ?
Looks like the Son of Leland Sklar
A bit of Psycho Petrucci breaking through there at 1:08
John strting to look like Moses man…
simple stupid question….what tune is that called he is playing solo for dont have new album
my headphones which are very expensive, are resonating while john is playing that solo LOL
his guitar looks too small lol cuz he got a big body
Tab that solo please…
I love how mesas look but when i hear it im always like eh
excellent tone, but way to expensive
6 persons played the wrong note.
This is getting really expensive for me, John. First you were selling the Mark V so i bought one, now you're selling the iic+ and i just bought one. Im afraid if a Mark VI ever comes out i will be divorced and broke. Kidding of course, these are badass amps. I'm just trying to figure out how to run both heads. Been a boogie fan since i first head MOP and Stryper and a boogie owner aince the late 90s. ive owned a triple rec, a couple dual recs and a roadster but the Mark amps are it for me. My wife thinks i am selling the Mark V since i now have the jp2c but she is sadly mistaken.
sounds amazing
What delay does he use?
I prefered the dry tone before all the effects got turned on.
You know you have a good beard when it looks like it's fake.
Ah man, his tone is very nice, but I feel that over the years he almost done too much to it. I really dislike the amount of compression that's on it, perhaps it's the gain, or something, but it mushes the tone. I wish he had the headroom he had in his era with the picasso ibanez. It's almost the same tone really, but far more dynamic and woody sounding.
A bit tongue in cheek, but judging from his appearance, overdoing it is the name of the game these days it seems.
does not sound like a mkiic+ if it's a reissue it's wide of the mark…Please explain Why mesa doesn't release a METALLICA , SANTANA, NIGHT RANGER, OR JOHN SYKES SIGNATURE HEAD…UNLIKE PETRUCCI ALL THESE ARTIST HAD HITS…MANY HITS AND LEGENDARY TONES
that guitar is sexy as fuck.
Love the solo stance he gets into! You can see him exiting it at 1:43
I'm a huge fan of Mesa Boogie products and of John Petrucci also, just check my channel for proof but for me the Mark IV tones are unbeatable. That triode setting is heavenly.
unless you want that lol!! love you man! sounds beautiful!
