No, at least not any pedal I've ever tried. And definitely not a tube screamer.

I mostly play metal and occasionally cleans with my JP-2C through a vertical metal grill Mesa 2x12 halfback that has a VS-12 in it, so hopefully I can be of some assistance. A lot of guys don't seem to care much for the humble VS-12 because its not a powerful nor bright speaker. Mine certainly...

Hi. Are you willing to buy? I have a Lonestar head for sale, but I'm not looking to pick up a Mark III. Trying to sell off a Mark III myself, as well. Let me know. Thanks.

Yeah, I am on this, but for good reason, I think. There are consequences to believing in things that aren't true - in this case, the spread of bad information can have an affect on an amp's resale value. And then there's the new discovery aspect - for example, if the mid push/pull had turned out...

No need. I've derailed my own thread for quite long enough. Time for me to eat crow. :oops: I talked with Mike again. He reluctantly admitted that there actually were some C++s made with the push/pull mid pot for switching between C+ and C++ modes, even mentioning kippiejr's amp as being among...

By the way, was there any source of info you could provide that confirms this? Or have you personally found that the JP-2C's shred mode sounds pretty spot on to your C++ amps? I'm really stoked about this actually being the case. Or, could the JP-2C's shred mode simply be its own sound? Thanks.

My information is also directly from Mike Bendinelli. I asked him specifically about this very topic roughly 8 years ago. Mike was adamant that no C++ mod was ever made to be switchable, even the handful of production C++ amps he built. That's why I'm confused. However, please know that I'm not...

It appears that it is Authorized Boogie's word against Mike Bendinelli's. http://youtu.be/a1Y73sPHKxw

This is exactly what I've been wondering about the JP-2C. The Vol1 mod is obviously apparent due to the separate channel controls. But having the C+ and the C++ voicings available in one amp would be fantastic! If you don't mind me asking, is your assertion that the JP-2C's 3rd channel is...

This is all quite interesting. I didn't realize that the Vol1 mod is also referred to as the Petrucci mod. To add further clarification (and also further bewilderment), I just found this post by jvk; http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=32031 ...and this post by deskman (12th post...

Given that it's a John Petrucci signature amp, I would expect the JP-2C to feature a lead tone that is emulated after the C++ (aka Petrucci mod), which has more low-mids and gain than the standard C+ voicing. However, I haven't played a JP-2C yet to see how it compares tonally with a C++ or C+...

What the hell? I'm with you themisfit138. DaveP, you sure you understood Mike B. correctly? Because Mike Bendinelli, himself, specifically told me over the phone that NONE of the C++ amps he ever worked on were ever given a push/pull on the mid knob by him. Not one. After asking him about all...

On the contrary, my understanding is that the ++ mod (ones done by Mesa, at least) is not switchable - no mid pull to toggle between + and ++ modes or anything like that. I've been very curious about switchable ++ amps like yours for a long time though and would really like to know more about...

You'd think the fact that it was originally a IIC would bring the value down to at least $14000! :lol: Even still, that's a killer amp. I'm jealous. Just not 15K jealous. Also, is that 4 digit serial number legit? Some weird Coliseum thing? And I would've thought it'd say KDRG on the side of...

So what's the deal with RP-10A? Is it a IIC board?
