It sounds so much better in all these different environments 😃
Word
Indeed!
Me listening to all different settings:
"Hmm yes, the Mesa Boogie is made out of Mesa Boogie"
Such a kickass and recognizable amp
When I saw Dream Theater, John's tone was the best sounding guitar tone I have heard live from any band i have seen.
JP has the best live guitar sound. Just unbelievable.
Amazing tone and his signature instruments are amazing, even the Sterling versions
@sgrofolo1445Same here. Saw them last year and Germany and this year, too. And on the second concert the tone was awesome. John Petrucci looked to Jimmy T. very often while playing. Seems, they tried out something and they were happy with it.
Agreed, I've seen DT 12 times and the guitar sound was unbelievable this time
No kidding man he knows his stuff and he's got the companies by the balls! They listen to what he whats!
There it is! All the backgrounds :D
Using the rhythm channel for rhythm…how novel. I think most of us often make the mistake of trying to replicate a mixed and mastered tone (usually too scooped and overdriven) instead of the actual raw tone (usually fuller and cleaner) from which the album tone was created.
Totally true and I definitely do that when I play alone.
You got a really interesting point! This is probably the reason why I always want to change all my gear 😅
Truth. You have to have separate EQs, gain (and gain stage), gates/compression for rhythm vs leads to get things to blend or stand out as needed.
Yep or just on the lead channel to push even further
That always drove me crazy when the other guitarist would pile on the gain to his sound. You still have to factor in the speakers breaking up, as well as the power tubes doing the magic at volume. You slop on massive amounts of gain and you lose any sign of a muscular tone. Everything just turns to mush.
Playing Metal guitar in heaven I see 😇
… where it belongs.
@@thetribalist6923 Yes Metal Music belongs in heaven at least most of it does
@@xlouiex3006 amen brother 🙏
We need more people like this
This is truly the next level of videos from Ola
I can confirm with personal experience that there is no better tone that I've heard in my life, then my Majesty nebula plugged in through a Mesa JP2C. It is the only physical amplifier I have owned in almost 5 years and it sounds perfect
This right hand technique is really out of this world. So powerful and precise.
IKR? That is a huge part of why all these manufacturers have him demo all their gear!
I wish more amps had a pre-EQ as part of the feature set, such a powerful tool for shaping the feel.
Just use a EQ pedal after your tuner and before all other pedals you might have. Works great. Makes any ordinary pick up and amp to a total beast, if you know what you are doing. ;)
Is a pre-eq? I think is a post eq beside the distortion step
@@thor-tas2110the eq is before the gain control, it’s to shape the incoming signal and not after the distortion.
I wish more people would use an eq pedal instead of constantly bitching about what their tone is missing
@@zackarysmith2222 great mate i really did't know thanks bro
Great amp, I've had this one for a few years or more, basically when they came out, the tones you can get are killer, I'll have to play around on some of these changes you made, have to say John's sound is one of best tones I've heard and he keeps tweaking it , even every show he's adding or switching pedals, just never ends with the man. Ola I've been watching your channel since 2019 or so and I can say your doing a killer job with all these interviews, reviews of pedals and guitars, plus you got the master himself to have ☕ with you!! Keep it up brother, happy for you.
*Ola personal invited to join the John Petrucci's Guitar Universe 4.0! 🤘
SHIT THE BED!
Wonderful sounds! I just enjoy your guitar playing... And now I have to hear wonderful music again during my work in the garden. 😊🤘
Just saw him live in Atlanta last year, was incredible. Amazing tone and playing, his clean was also amazing.Ola, thx for what u do dude, I laughed when u threw pick on ground, dropped the pick haha 🤟
I’m a true fan of John for a quarter century man and this video of you made my day my buddy ❤️🎸🔥🤘🏼
This video is amazing. The C+ has such an iconic and classic tone.
Do more videos of you playing riffs on the amp.
Cool segment, would love to see more videos like this 🙂
Your JP-videos really touched me, because John is such a legend for me! I´ve met him some 15 years ago, during a workshop in Frankfurt, Germany and it was a special experience, that I´ll never forget! I´m a little bit envious because of this setup! I won´t be able to afford such an amazing setup, but if I´d have the money, my dream-setup would be exactly like this! Maybe a MarkIV, instead of the JPC+?😉 Great video, as always! Hope, you´ll have a million subscribers, you deserve that!
Go Grab a IV Rev A and you'll be in heaven. Don't get the rev B, it has very little to do with rev a. Rev a is basically the IIC+ with a few more options. You can also add Midi functionality for cheap. Jp2c has more gain but beside that, the IV personally kicks more ass. It has a thicker low end directly compared. Jp2c is more like a mark V. So, Grab a IV if they are still going cheap. They will be a collector's soon. Got mine for 1300 bucks 3 years ago.
John's settings are basically getting it as tight and articulate as possible. I think he uses two amps in stereo to thicken it up also. It's the technical "correct" setting, but it's almost impossible to resist raising that treble knob and saturating it more.
Awesome amplifier! I absolutely love mine, thanks Ola!!
He has one of the best rhythm tones I've ever heard. Just all-around great...even back in the 90's using his Mark III
Such a killer tone
Your tone really just sounds like it has more gain going on, due to how the treble affects these mark series amps. Like them both. I can totally see why John's settings work for Dream Theater's tone in a live setting. Just enough saturation for a big sound without losing clarity and staying super tight. A heavy hand or a bit of a push from an overdrive will take it over the top for any section that needs a little more oomph.
If I was just jamming on this amp in my room, I'd use your settings though. In fact I'd probably push the gain up just a smidge more but I'm a degenerate like that.
This amp is amazing in many ways. Quite versatile.
As well, Ola, I'm enjoying the green screen backgrounds.
Great video and follow up on that live rig 👍👍
Ola your settings are my settingss!! Great...like and Justice for all Sound !!!
Love this!!!
Ola discovering the green screen
The smile of dawn arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home...
🤘🤘
The editing on this is so chaotic. I love it.
Thanks for the morning! A good day to you.
Both settings are insane 🤘🏻
That's cool that John's a purist. I would boost it with a savage drive but the amp already sounds tight as heck.
We used the Se ribbon mics with the control sheild when we recorded our 2nd album at OCD where Crowbar records and Duane explained that the sheild also helped keep some of the low end thump true to the mix as well.
Since this amp came out, I have said that it is the best metal amp on earth.
Great tone man 🤘
Ola! Another BadAss video! I'll say your settings def sound like YOU! If I'm not mistaken you play in a more strait up metal band w/out all the keys & extra Dreamy "stuff" in the mix, if you know what I mean! I can see why you'd be inclined to go this route w/the more "out of control" dare I say fuller sound. Mr. JP has a lot to deal with in his unusual band mix. I dig what you do, the way you do it! Very cool of Mr. JP to try out your settings! No too many people can say that! It def CHUGS! \M/ \M/
This was the first time that you didn’t sound 💯 like yourself. Your settings were awesome as always, but I have to say that ‘Trucci’s settings definitely framed your playing in a most satisfying manner.
Is this a new channel? Pretty sure i was already subbed. Sounds killer!! 🤘
Your electrical outlet is perfect on green wall. Please keep it, it's so fun!
Such a sick piece of engineering from the gents at Mesa Boogie. This amp sounds so good. Someday….
I love the background
I need IR of this!
Great tone !!!
In 2004 I bought a Mesa Single Rectifier series II 50 watt solo head & Rectifier 2×12 cab/Celestion V30s.. brand new. It, to this day; has no issues. Almost 20 years old.
I've taken my Ltd down to GC and test drove the JP-2C. I'm getting that amp.
OLA! For like the 6th garsh darn time, PLEASE put out a video using your 7 string into the John Petrucci plug-in. It's such a gnarly tone in the Crowbar range of tones. You even couldn't believe it when you were demoing it. Come on! Do it!
sounds awesome😀
Hey sound is very good man!!!!
I noticed he uses a lot of mid-range, probably so it cuts through the mix but it sounds really really great it's the right kind of miss (edited: mids) though. Rhythm sounded better at 60watts but leads sound great at the other settings. The background rocks!!!
I gotta be honest, I really lean towards less treble, more mids on the Marks as well, but both sound really great for the application like you said. John's tone during that soundcheck was godlike. Better suited to that house, obviously. Pete Loeffler's sound is dialed in very similar on his Mark IVs and I've always loved that tone he has with Chevelle.
The thing with the Marks is the higher you put the treble, the less the bass and mids have any affect whatsoever, at least according to the manual. So if you dime the treble you might as well just put mids and bass down to zero anyways. Killer amp, fun video!
Fun for sure - all these backgrounds remind me of that old Paul GIlbert instructional video (I am waiting for the cheerleaders to pop up with "penta-tonic licks " lol)
they sound amazing
This sounds awesome, very good!! 🤘🤘🔥 I should try the get that awesome sound out of my Mesa Express 5:50 💪
AAAAAAAAAAAAA SUBSCRIBED NICE CHANNEL BRUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAY THE CHUGGG FOREVER BE WITH YOUUUUUUUU
Great tone. Handsome amp.
I’ve wanted one of those amps for the longest time.
Any ribbon on the cone is a huge difference than a "Noyman" condenser, where TLM series especially, are known for being quite bright. No shocker here, brah! Great video and great amp - I only have the baby, MK:25
GOTTA LOVE OLA😎
I used to have a Mk V:25, sold it because "I'm not worthy", regretted it immensely. One year later I bought myself a JP2C and _zero_ regrets. Forever amp. I'm still not worthy, but it makes me happy.
Super tones! 👌 I'll have to try these settings myself!
I know how you feel, man. I'm not worthy, either, but plugging into a nice amp and cranking up is just a beautiful thing. I used to have a Mark V:35 1x12 and returned it simply because it was too loud for my living situation, but now that I'm moving into a house, I just may go for it again. I'll be able to enjoy it properly. 😂
@@nckhed do it! Get yourself a nice loadbox too :) I use a Two Notes Torpedo, so I can enjoy my Mesa at any time of day or night!
The only reason to buy gear is to enjoy it, if you're having fun, that's all that matters, I never looked down at lower level players enjoying cool gear, I always thought it was pretty stupid. Rock it!
Man I'm in love with the rectifier mesa
Ribbon mikes like that do exactly that, they tame the highs and provide a fairly neutral mid sound. No hype, so if the amp sound blows, you'll hear it. I've been using that ribbon model for our recordings lately together with other dynamic and condenser mikes, so this actually sounds super familiar (also a fan of MIIc sound).
The editor is extremely tight! Nästa gång sätter du riffet! 😅 mer av detta!
I like your settings bettter.
Looks like the main variable is mic placement. You like getting more treble out of the amp, and can darken that by moving the mic away from center. John puts the mic right up front and center so it makes sense he backs off on treble.
Oh man. An IR of the Petruci cab config would be killer
I like your tone better Ola!!
Your the man Bro!!!!
This video should have been called “Ola has his own tone with Petrucci’s settings and rig”.
And for me it’s a pro and not a cons, I love guitarists with their own personality no matter the gear. Cheers bro
That amp sounds amazing
I totally agree with the man when he used your chug settings. Chugging by yourself is totally different when you add a band around you. Hearing this right away I'm surprised you weren't using a noise gate. It would work if you are in a doom-metal band and don't have a bassist. Then distort, bass and scoop to your heart's content. However I have seen him using a mimic pedal to make his rig stereo as well for a 2 guitarist sound.
Holy shit that tone at the end 😍
Pretty rad.
I bought the VR2 and straight to the cone (some minor distance for preference to avoid proximity) sounds in recording exactly as you hear it in the room. Incredible mic. I might add an SM57 to get some sizzle for the tone in the mix, but it works as a standalone as well pretty greatly.
I can't believe that Ola carried that amp all the way to the middle of the desert.
Ola, you should get a room together with John 🤣 love you both, man
IMO the best tones are the unstable ones...I LOVE lots of treble and presence as well because those are the frequencies that make the guitar SCREAM and sound aggressive.
Sure, when you play for yourself, it's awesome. But when you play in a band, it's hard to tame, and even harder to stay audible in a busy and extreme music context. That being said, trying to stick to the guitars natural frequencies is a must. Turning down the mids and cranking bass and highs will mostly result in you not hearing yourself. Another thing what I see a lot is, that people play with far too much gain. Sure gain is awesome and all, but at the end of the day, It's very similar to white noise, which just layers itself over every part of the frequency spectrum, making the guitars sound very muddy and not able to punch through the bands sound.
Wow Ola
Personally when i jammed on this amp (I don't own one), It sounded Amazing with Treble and Mids at 2pm, bass all the way down. Then the post 5 band EQ to dial back out the mids.
I just loved the way the extra mids distorted in the preamp, made the harmonics super responsive. Wish i could afford this beast.
The first background is my favorite 🤣
just started the video and hoping for the old windows hill in a field background.
Awesome video . A smoke machine on low would have been cool with the background.
Those boots are awesome
Killer as always!!! What about an impulse response from this setting?????
The video you did backstage with JP was super awesome!! He is such a badass guitar player, and I can see now that he is also a wicked dude, I mean he has you backstage, and actually asks for your input, then tried it!! Like, Ola, you're a nobody, and he tried your settings; insanity. Lol🙌🤘🙌
Definitely not a nobody, but I think I get what you're trying to say
Ola is a heavy tone connoisseur that has demo'd all these amps and pedals for us, and released absolutely killer heavy music of his own. I second the motion, far from a nobody.
Why wouldn't John look for a chance to experience Ola's settings?
the background reminded me of Paul Gilbert's VHS Intense Rock for some reason. 📼
Shred mode with altered settings is viable for the ultra thrash/downtuned style, too.
Normally, I play closer to JP's settings, with a bit less 750 than he uses (but still well above the bottom line). Channel 2 is practical for tight rhythms (gain pushed)/heavy rhythms (gain pulled) while Channel 3 is good for solos with the second EQ engaged. When I want the crazy 103db bedroom chugging rhythm sound (not for tracking though), it's Channel 3 with the first EQ engaged, Gain pulled, master around 10:30. It's insane with a 2x12 vert....I would imagine a 4x12 Traditional Straight would just kill everybody in the room straight away.
The amp really gets better with pushing volumes above 9:30, and just kills at 11:00. Being in another room to save your hearing is a hard requirement at that volume. 9:00 is where it stays most of the time.
encuentro que el tono que hiciste al bajar los agudos, suena muy bien lml
Best rhythm tone ever :D
sounds bad ass!
I need to test this configurations on the Amplitube Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ 😍
That JP15 sure is nice. I'm tempted but it's pricey!
Sounds good to me Ola
🤘🤘
💪🏻🤘🏻
I have its brother, the Mark V 90. It's way more amp than I can justify at my playing level but who cares? I love it. I also love my Blue Stripe Mark III which also delivers the IIC+ tone only with even more available gain.
Your settigns are more aggressive and have more sizzle !! More sizzle baby ! Sizzle
You're lost in the sky and clouds roll by and you roll in them! 😉
I prefer your settings Ola!
Ola, you never mentioned the gain and presence settings as both are push/pull. I’ve seen JP experiment with these and changes them from time to time. What are your settings on this vid? Pushed? Pulled? Also shred mode or no? Thanks!
This amazing tone makes you wanna chug down on and play all day. So sick
Awww yeahhhhhh
yep i prefer your settings :D but then i like all the gain too haha
