John Petrucci Rock discipline tone question.. WHAT AMP ??

[Nick_cor]

for any of you who own this video does anyone know what amp or preamp/poweramp he used? I really like his clean tone and his heavy tones when he does his examples on chords and stuff? he says at the end what his rig is, the mark IIC+ but he also has a triaxis, anyone got a clue ?

I don't know for sure, but I'd say it's either the Triaxis/2:90 or a IIc+, since that is the gear he was using at the time. I did some digging on the forum on his official website, but I didn't find any definitive answer. I did see that his "clinic" rig is a rack with a Triaxis and 2:90, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is what he used. I believe that his custom Ibanez guitars and Dimarzio pickups had a big effect on his tone at the time too, very bright and almost scooped sounding.

yeah! it almost reminds me of his tone on the Awake album, but not as BIG but still very nice,

I really like his Rythm crunch sound at the end of the vid, when he shows all his gear. His clean sound is perfect too !

 

[Nick_cor]

yeah....hmmmmm for some reason I think it's his mark IIC+

any clues anyone?

it sounds like a C+ to me, and, as someone mentioned, his guitars play a big role in his sound. the sound isn't all C+. it's a lot of guitar

Thanks

I was under the impression that it was a mark IV, I could be wrong and probably am however. lol

 

[Nick_cor]

Very cool. I have a mark IV 8) Hopefully with my new guitar on the way i'll be able to get tones that breathe like that!
