Mesa Boogie JP-2C Mark IIC+ John Petrucci 60/100-watt Guitar Tube Amp Head - Black Taurus

The Mesa John Petrucci Signature JP-2C tube electric guitar amplifier head gives you all of the tonal variety and power of a Mark IIC+ with powerful additions specified by John. It's a celebration of John and Mesa's 30-year relationship and is based on one of Mesa's fan-favorites. And the JP-2C features additions like dual footswitchable 5-band EQs and a CabClone output, making it an even more powerful animal. The Mesa/Boogie JP-2C Mark IIC+ brings back a legendary amplifier design with new powerful additions.

A Hard-rocking History

John Petrucci has been using Mesa/Boogies tube amplifiers since the very early days of Dream Theater, and the JP-2C is a celebration of those three decades. The amp is based on Mesa's highly sought after Mark IIC+ that was the identifiable sound of John's guitar for many of those years. It has also been used by other well-known hard rock acts, as well as session musicians who have come to rely on the amps' liquidy overdriven tone.

Sonic versatility

The original Mark IIC+ amps were beloved for their high-gain sound and clear cleans. Both of those sounds are very much on display in the JP-2C. But the amp's three completely independent channels with five modes each let you dial in any shade of tone from mild crunch to over the top, from warm and round to aggressive and cutting. And the onboard 5-band equalizers let you further sculpt your tone to taste. And even with all of this control, the layout is done to make pulling up your favorite sounds intuitive and fast.

Amp adjusts to your needs

The original Mark IIC+ amps were just the springboard for John Petrucci when designing the JP-2C. John also included features like a CabClone speaker-emulated line output, 60- and 100-watt operation, and MIDI programmability to make the amplifier even more versatile, and a great tool for the recording and touring guitarist. Dual 5-band equalizers are footswitchable to get three distinct sounds for each channel at the tap of a toe. And the included footswitch also controls reverb, channel switching, and much more.
