Petrucci's "An Evening with JP & JR" tone must

[Random Hero]

...greatest lead tone of all time.

Discuss.

Music Man JPM, Mesa MarkIV Head and Recto 2x12 cab, and Boss DD6 Delay, that's all.

 

[Antoine]

I've forgotten... Petrucci fingers.

 

[Random Hero]

Ah, so it was a head and a 2x12? I always heard it was a combo.

 

[Antoine]

At the time the album has been realized, at the JP forum it was said it was the gear i've listed above.

 

[Bullen]

It was a combo, but he used a 2x12 with it.

 

[Antoine]

My memories have failed, but you're surely right Bullen, i'm sure about the 2x12 Recto and the MarkIV, i reminded a Head, so, thanks for the correction Bullen.

 

[Bullen]

You´re welcome.

 

[Random Hero]

So he ran a combo through a 2x12?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a JPMM + Mark IV combo + 2x12; it sounds very similar to my setup (tone-wise, not technique-wise, obviously). Now if only I could capture that good a tone when recording...

You know, something I've always wondered is whether the delay on the recordings are from the DD6 or were added in post-production. There seems to be too much stereo separation in the delay for it to be a single mic'ed cab. For example, listen to the beginning of "In the Moment"; you can clearly hear the guitar delay ping-ponging on the left & right side.

actually, i'm pretty sure it was a recto, some of those tones i hear sound nothing like a mark IV. plus on youtube you can see his and jordan playing songs and the amp looks like a recto.

 

[Antoine]

The amp is a MarkIV for sure.

Pretty much everyone who was at the show said it was a Mark IV.

Man, that tone wasn't just his recorded tone, it sounded the same way in the room. Sounds awesome.

Nope its a Mark IV, I was their, second row, great show. Sorry man you shouldn't have sold it I got a **** kick *** close tone to that also on my Mark IV.

Wow, you guys stick it hard. I'm not actually regretting selling my mark IV because i made too much money on it. lets just say I bought a markIIC+ and got it shipped and still had a generous amount of money left. But that doesn't mean i still don't want one. I'm actually working on getting getting a mark IV. You guys are lucky for getting to see that petrucci show.
