John Browne/Monuments - “Garden of Sankhara” Playthrough
Monuments guitarist John Browne puts the JP-2C to the test with his Signature Mayones Duvell Qatsi AJNA burst 7 string Baritone.
On the song “Garden of Sankhara” from Monuments 2014 album The Amanuensis, the JP2C delivers tight, accurate low end combined with classic Boogie Mark Series midrange and even-ordered high end harmonics to deliver the original Mark IIC+ crunch and punch and sparkling clean sounds.

I love when John remixes these songs. This album is an absolute masterpiece and only gets better every time he remixes it.
His right hand has one of the best picking strength/technique I've ever seen
Truth. I have played for 16 years and this guy amazes me with his creativity and picking technique.
Absolutely. He doesn't need more than a few strokes to let you know he is amazing
+Gabriel Frison You also need to look Wes Hauch. He has one of the most ridiculous picking hand ever, you'll be amazed.
Yes, I know Wes... he is awesome. But talking about riffs, John has much more balls!
Oh yeah. That I'll have to agree with you.
For anyone interested, John Browne did an alternate mix with some post production EQ, mixing and mastering that reflects more of how he would treat the guitars recorded on this session. Here's the link to the Mesa SoundCloud page with that track posted there: soundcloud.com/mesaboogie-1/garden-of-sankhara-mesa-jp2c-mix
Post Production settings and signal chains:
Rhythm Guitars - SM57 supported by the Mojave - Post settings are EQ/Filters and minimal LA3A compression

Big thanks to John Browne!
Thanks for posting this! Was a pleasure to hear it the way JB envisioned it!
+MESA/Boogie Ha!! He likes the BASS in his mix! :)
I'm a simple man,I see a video with John Browne in it,I press that like button+that background is sick.
3:12 God damn that range
I can't get enough of this video this is like my dream set up exactly
Great tone!
Thanks, +Sean Ashe !
+MESA/Boogie this is great.. but i prefer John's Dual Rec tone... im a bit partial tho....
Thanks, JM R - I kinda like em both I think John's wheelhouse is Recto. That said, he slayed this and tight is good for 7 string. Thankas for the comment and thanks for watching!
+Sean Ashe You're still alive? I swore I tried googling you like half a year ago and couldn't find anything, and seemed like you deleted a bunch from your channel.
+Nathan Alford I deleted everything that I didn't think was representative of what I do now :) Definitely alive and well.
Stellar song from a stellar album! Great playing as always John "huggable" Browne, & thanks Mesa for featuring him again in a playthrough. ☺
Mesa Boogie has done it again.... from the specs & PETRUCCI video... THIS CRUSHES ALL & so ARTICULATE
That little solo part from 3:30 on kills me. That didn't exist in the original (at least as far as I could hear) and now I have to tab that out.
There goes the weekend.
It's on the original, it's just extremely far back in the mix. Listen closely.
@@HippiesFTW yup
Thanks for including all the settings and recording information. Sounds awesome.
Our pleasure, +BillWills - thanks for watching!
Met John at a Sylosis gig last week, top dude! Wish him and Monuments all the best! Top down picker!
HUGE!!!! looks like I got a new favorite guitarist & Amp!!!
Really digging the room design... oh, and the killer performance!
Amazing version of this song. Pure art, ladies and gentlemen.
I wonder why the re-image?
I like both. but Im seriously curious.
It's the same recording just a different mix i'm pretty sure. Everything here is on the original just pushed far back.
The vocals at 3+ minutes is what made me think that
Hi Guys - This recording is everything from the original song EXCEPT the guitars for John's parts - which we're recorded for this performance at this location, with the amp you see. Then, it was all mixed specifically for this performance as a demo. Different from the original recording/mix except using the guitar sounds from thie location you see in the video. Thanks for watching! :)
nono thank YOU for everything.
Mesa Boogies are definitely my favorites amps ever...
Great player! The amp tone is awesome as well!
Mine is on order!
A JP-2C Limited Edition!
Can hardly wait!
Now THAT is tight!
Well done Boogsters!
Thank you John Browne
The amp sounds amazing for sure!! That song and the playing? Wow, all sorts of awesomeness. I think I just found a new band to get into.
Def sounds rad... Will be buying one of these heads.
Awesome tone! , awesome music!. Perfection.
Thanks for the kind words, +Martín Gonzalez Arciniegas !
Always a pleasure watching John destroy everyone with his insane technique.Always a pleasure watching John destroy everyone with his insane technique.
Great sound! Awesome guitarmanship, John!
First time i plugged in to a triple in MI on stage back in 1998... that was a Love from the first sight! and i went to Mesa on SunSet and played 'em all... Then ordered Rectifier in Kiev and custom straight cab! Still love it! Now i want this one too!!!!!! LOL No, i want two! LOL Best Amp!
I own about 30 tube amps (Mesa, Bogner, Fender, Engl, Marshall, etc.). I've owned more than that.
Out of those 16 are Mesa.
The JP-2C LE will be my 17th, and counting...
Mesa/Boogies are the best amps because of build quality, tone (ok, subjective point), reliability, innovation, you name it!
Masterclass!
Some mean riffs and sounds coming out of that JP2C.
Sick tones!
i love the song and the playing. clean
Thanks, +aceman42 !
Killer guitarist and BAND!
sounds freakin awesome!! \m/ John Browne is a killer guitarist
Those 3:11 voices
impressive performance!
Just when I thought I'd never sell my Mark V for anything... Very cool song and tone. Well done, M/B.
Thanks, +Ugly Bunny ! :D
I pre ordered one through a local retailer here in New Zealand - seriously cannot wait for it to arrive. I"m going to run it stereo with my Mark IV.
You live a good life.
Killer Tone..!!!
Great playing bro. Killer tone.
Thanks, +Randy Spear ! :)
最高の音をありがとうございます
The Mesa Boogie Mark V, recreates each circuit accurately. The mark 1 can be set to sound exactly like the vintage mark 1's, however it can do so much more. I believe the same with mark 2 and 4 settings. Of course, because it is simply combined into one, there will always be those people who will believe it "cant be the same" as the original amp. But I assure you in a blind test, you could not tell a difference. As for thin sounds, In no way is my mesa boogie mark series amp thin. It is one of the most vocal thick toned sustaining singing amplifier I have ever played. I am an electrical engineer and being a young player, I am amazed at what mesa boogie has done with these circuits. Pure Genius. It would be a dream of mine to be able to work with a team to design and build these amplifiers. Always has been. Great work guys!
Many thanks for the kind words, +Eric Oglesby ! The irony of a snapshot of a sound which is what can be presented in a video like this is that comparing amps or sounds isn't always best done by settings but by actually listening. That's what you appear to have done is to set the amp where it sounds good to you and rock out from there. The circuits are in there - one just needs to know how to get the tone you want/need. You appear to have figured that out. :D Thanks again and here's to more tone!
PS - send in a resume to the one and only Mesa address. 1317 Ross St. Petaluma, CA 94954 :D
+MESA/Boogie, Whoa, thanks. Wow its MESA BOOGIE ! I didn't expect that. That is very nice that you guys are in touch with the customers like this! Are you employed by this company? That is very cool indeed. I am Eric nice to meet you +MESA/Boogie ha. Great Work!
Thanks, Eric Oglesby - We try to reply to everyone that has a question or a kind word for us so there ya go! Keep on rockin'. :)
We need more demos!!! I've already ordered a custom one but months out.... can't wait! Dream Theater is the best band of all time!
SICK!!! \m/
killer riffzzz!!!
I was going to buy the MK V....until JP and Mesa came out with a hot rodded version of a classic favorite. I plan on adding a JP2C to my rig, alongside my MK IV. This sounds incredible MESA!
Many thanks, +Ryan Soliman! Glad you dig it. :)
A M A Z I N G!!!!
Thanks, +João Rodrigues !
It s Cool!!!!!
epic location
Thanks, +Kyle Sand - One of our favorites! :) Thanks for watching.
Browne is the man!
Agree, +SamBellGuitar !
Brownie with Mayonnaise on the Table - a great combination :)
I knew this was gonna be good. Love me some John Browne, and he sounds super cutting through this new IIC+
Dammit Mesa... Dammit... I already have a Mark V and an Axe FX... I don't NEED another amp :D
+CodeStation - Sorry bout that, mate. :) Glad you're down with Browne - he nailed it on this! Thanks for the kind words.
Such an underrated song. And play through!! 1:09 is slick as fuck.
The ultimate video would be a comparison between a real IIC+, the preset on the Mark V, and the JPIIC !
13 people think that the garden's overgrown
What is that theatre? Reminds me of when I went to the SR Temple in Guthrie Oklahoma, they have some amazing hand painted back drops
The Mason's lodge above the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, +w1third - Thanks for watching! :)
I have a question in relation to the depth options that come with the standard MarkV 90w but which aren't available on the JP2C. How does the JP2C make up for that in the low resonance tonality if it doesn't have the same depth control knobs that are on the standard Mark V? (excluding the EQ sliders)
Hi Max - Good question. Not sure which depth options you are referring to....? There are lots of similarities between the controls and also the circuits of the Mark V and the JP2C, however, the JP2C is a much STIFFER power section with faster and more immediate response whereas the Mark V is plenty solid output, but a pinch more forgiving, compressed and smooth. The low end from the preamp controls (and the EQ) is much more similar as much of the circuits in the preamp remains the same between the two. It's the powerr section that makes up the biggest difference, and you feel this and hear this when you play the two and compare them side by side. Not everyone is looking for the power, punch and immediacy that the JP2C puts, but those that are find the feel and power addictive. Hope this helps! :)
Ok thanks for the guidance. I mean the depth controls that are situated next to right handside of the EQ sliders on the standard 90w Mark V. Are these like the resonance function on a Peavey 6505?
Who on Earth dislikes this?!
+helvetion jazz and blues players...
+Dan 2c plus I'm primarily a jazz and blues guitarist, I think the cleans on the Mark amps are incredible, and the drive tones are great when set right. Actually I am considering picking up either one of these or a Mark V. The dislikers could just be metallers with shitty tone...
+helvetion I didn't hit dislike because theres no need to do that but i really dislike this video. This music is like nails on a chalkboard.
oh yea, music is terrible. I don't like the whole "Djent" thing. Just kinda terrible really...
+helvetion For those that dislike, here's to hoping we come up with something you will dig in the next week or so. :D Cheers and thanks for watching!
Could you guys do a comparison of the JP2C and the Mark V pretty please?
+Seamus McFlanery Why? It should sound the same at the same settings/wattage.
+Endezeichen Grimm should sound slightly different, the mark 5 2c+ is not the same 2c+ as this one.
How so? Isn't it the same circuit?
+Seamus McFlanery From what I can tell, the JP2C channels 2&3 should sound very similar to the IIC+ mode on the Mark V channel 3. It looks like the main idea behind JP2C was to take Mark V, replace V's channel 2 with another channel 3, fine-tune these channels to resemble IIC+ a bit more, add CabClone and MIDI to simplify live setup and get rid of stuff JP doesn't need, such as alternative voicing/gain options on all the channels.
+Endezeichen Grimm I don;t think this half power switch is the same. IIRC the original was a pentode/triode switch whereas this may be simply disabling 2 of the 4 tubes.
Could you guys make a demo that doesnt use to much processing so that we can hear the RAW sound of the amp?
Hi +Ry Kharl - Stay tuned for more videos coming up soon! :) Thanks for watching.
Great Thanks
THATS IT! Im making a practice room with a projector, hooked up to my xbox 360, so i can stream you too the wall. And jam the peanuts offf.
am I ok if a get a hardon from a tone?
been thinking about buying one of these or maybe a Dual rectifier. it will be my very first tube amp and I'm curious as to whether or not it will sound good at bedroom/low volumes. I'm looking for tones in the vein of everything from black label society to killswitch engage to cannibal corpse.
I have scoured the internet for information on this matter and have gotten very mixed feed back. any input would help, thanks.
HI +terry lafauci - Thanks for your interest! The Rectifier will easily the types of tones of the bands you've just mentioned. Most people buy Mark series amps because they want a tighter and more immediate response, especially in heavy/high gain sounds. The Rectifier will dial up fast and be pretty quickly gratifying, whereas Mark series amps take a little time to get to know the sweet spots in the amp and for your playing. Based on the bands you mentioned, I'd probably recommend the Rectifier first, but if you are looking for tighter tones and are willing to spend some time with the amp to get to know its in's & out's, you won't be disappointed with a JP2C either. Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any further questions and let us know what you decide! :D
Excellent! Thanks for the feedback.
Does anyone here have the (accurate) guitar tabs for the part 4:10 - 4:29 ?
So you basically got three different signals per hard pan then? Two mics and the cab clone? Any reason for using the cab clone also?
+kronosecw Another Mesa product? :P Or just wanting to have a different sort of sound, maybe try and get a cab sound that they wanted but didn't have the cab for?
Hi +kronosecw - We almost ALWAYS record the CabClone signal, regardless of other mics in use . It's just one more cable and input to set up, and yes... most of our amps have them... so we hook it up! :D We ALSO almost ALWAYS find great ways to add the CabClone signal to the recorded sounds or mix, whether it's blended in and supporting our preferred mic, or an even blend, or even the primary component and mics are support blend. It provides a very tight, forward and detailed capture (unlike the potential bounce and bloom of a dynamic mic), and sometimes that response is a great thing to add/compliment in some amount, OR - it's what the music cal;ls for. Experimentation is key but this is just one way that the CabClone can be very useful, not to mention live sound, silent direct (when you can't use a mic), headphone amp, load box and direct capture via Slave for IR and software Cab Sim. The list goes on... Thanks for watching and hope this helps! :D
+MESA/Boogie 😎 I see. Might be hard to tell what the amp actually sounds like with 3 different tones being blended, if that was the intention... Sounds good though. I enjoy the dry breakdown at the end. Either way shows good potential for that genre. I enjoy these videos, thanks.
Many thanks, +kronosecw - Your point about multiple mics is understood, but it could also be argued that there are a multitude of greater variables beyond mic choice and blending that do or don't do a good job of showcasing what something sounds like. :) Post Production, TH-cam compression, peoples listening devices/environments just to name a few. First and foremost though, MESA tries to employ consistent techniques and tools that musicians, engineers and studios use to record great guitar sounds... and to make sure we capture great tone without having to add much (or preferably any) post production techniques. Our goal is to make the amp sound like the amp - anything else serves no one! At the end of the day we'd most strongly argue that a tube amplifier ESPECIALLY, is best physically experienced to be understood, rather than 'hearing' it on TH-cam but we do our very best to deliver honest representations of our products in our demos and playthroughs. Glad you're enjoying the vids - thanks for watching!
+MESA/Boogie that's a good way of looking at it. Excited to experience it. Cheers.
Can you do a version that is just the guitar, it's hard to hear the amp when there's guitar parts on the recording he's not playing (unless he pre-recorded them).
Hi +codecow - There is a short section at the end of the video that features audio with full tracks - just a single channel centered, then double tracked and panned, then full tracks fades in. Check it at 4:48... Thanks for watching!
+codecow this tone is very different from the album version... i don t know about u... but i can hear the guitar very clear...
+Chirciu Remus I am not familiar with the music, but MESA has my back as usual. Sounds sick!!!!
+codecow Yeah, this was all recorded with the Mesa except the very glassy cleans (intro, 1:35, etc...) from what I can tell.
Hi Mason Stanley - You are correct! There is an additional track of cleans on the intro and throughout the rhythm sections as well as slight support during the clean sections that was originally mixed low in the album version. Good ears! :)
3:10
what microphone are those?
john using alternate picking. is this video even legal??❤️❤️❤️
Were the presence and gain knobs pushed or pulled for either channel?
Hi +Nathan Alford - Great question! Neither we're pulled in this demo. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for helping me out with tweaking! Just wish I also had that traditional cab...I need
first person I heard play Mesa Buck Dharma
dunno if it's me but the vocals sound a little differant than in the CD ... ?
For me, I'll miss the Mark IV and Extreme modes of the Mark V. AND, I couldn't sacrifice the Loop FX. I have a variety of effects that are "must have" in my setup....so this new JP-2 amp doesn't do it for me. Also the overdrive sounds a bit too much on the fuzzy end, which isn't my type of sound at all. I'll save up for the Mark V.
JP2C does have a fx loop. also midi. so its better suited to effects then a V.
Yes, it does...I meant to say that the Mark V has assignable FX Loops to any of the 3 channels rather than being a global fx loop like the current JP2C and most other amps in the market. I typically like some nice chorus, acoustic guitar sound, and delay on my clean but none at all on my gain channels. But the JP2C does sound super sweet for sure.
Anyway we could get a closer look at the eq settings he used on the amp?
Hi +Nathan Gonzalez - Stand by for a blog post with full settings and production info coming soon! Thanks for watching. :)
+MESA/Boogie keep me updated thanks!!
+MESA/Boogie just bought the amp I am so excited!!!
Congrats, Nathan Gonzalez! Hope it exceeds your expectations. Let us know if you have any questions. :)
+MESA/Boogie I'm too excited I've changed from digital to tube amps finally with this one and I know the difference will be astonishing. Quick question where do I look up to see the blog post of the full settings used?
Love the tone ... my fav amp by far ...... but him wearing headphone is like we are not included. Should have done a take with out them.
This has to be one of the weirdest comments I've ever read. It's a guitarist playing, not a book club meeting.
Its not a guitarist playing .. its a you tube video for people to watch..... only knob gobblers wear headphones while also play through a cab ...... are you a knob gobbler ???
Hey Mesa/Boogie any chance you can give me a ball park street price?
Hi +danielholden01 - Please contact your nearest dealer or distributor for pricing and availability: mesaboogie.com/support/locations.html Thanks for your interest!
What venue is this filmed at?
Hi +Instrumedley - This is called the Mason's lodge above the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. Details in the video description as well. thanks for watching! :)
I'm really interested in this amp. Seems like a good deal for US$ 2,500 in the USA. But here in Europe we have to pay around € 3,900, which is around US$ 4,300. Come on, Mesa! I'm a loyal customer, but this price jack is insane.
+Laurens Honig Yeah, we europeans are really fucked with the mesa boogie prices. It's actually cheaper to buy a real 2CII+
+Jonathan Ydam I'm lucky to have a real one :) And I'm anxious to compare, although I don't consider this a reissue (but a sort of hybrid). I hope MESA/Boogie will post an explanation on the price difference, just like they react on other comments.
what guitar tuning is this song in?
A# F A# D# F A# D#
Bb F Bb Eb F Bb Eb
John looks like javier Reyes
Both extremely talented.
what guitar is that?
mayones duvell in signature version qatsi
I would love to hear a clean version, without the post production, like the attached video John made for the Mark V. No effects, no getting it cleaned up in the studio, etc. I know there was very minimal touch-up on the attached video because that was the selling point when Mesa posted the article way back then.... still, monster sound. The Mark V doesn't offer the flexibility (I have both the Mark V and the Mark V:25) that this 3 channel amp does, because of the dual channel 2C+ on this baby, plus, channel 3 has even more drive AND there is full midi capability... still, keeping my Mark V's... both of them and getting this.

Great points, +Barrett Hamilton and we really appreciate your interest and support! More vids like what you are asking for are coming up soon. These first couple of videos were what we had on tap first. Stand by and thanks again! :)
Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to buy it.... :). Im waiting for my email from Sweetwater to tell me they are in stock.
Got some good demo stuff coming up shortly Barrett Hamilton ! :) Thanks for your support!
+MESA/Boogie So, when is this amp due to hit the stores?
Hi Barrett Hamilton - The first pre-production run and burn-in happened last Thursday and over the weekend! Likely due to hit stores in the next 2-3 weeks at the latest. :)
Like 10k worth of gear obviously it's gonna sound good.
But does it post metal sludge?
Absolutely, +Scott Claremont ! :D
+MESA/Boogie I was expecting a link! ;)
Ha! Scott Claremont- I'm afraid we haven't done that demo video yet. Stand by... :)
Sorry this just doesn't sound as full as his EMG presentations. The tone sounds very thin in places.
Oooohhhhhh yeeeaaaaahhhh girrrllllll fart fart belch fart
No needs to have this amp, I have the Mark V lolll But Good tone and playthrough anyway !
Major diff, Two different c+ sounds... Depends what you want
+kronosecw It must sound very similar from Mark V to JP II C+. But yeah I know about the kind of mid boost on the JP model and 100 watts instead of 90 for the mark V. These things would probably make a difference.
+ManU LaC For sure, def a legit reissue of the 2C+... The dual eq is huge. Saves you a step of tossing another eq in for leads. On the topic of reissues, if they did a modern version of the "studio pre" that would be fab. Those lead tones...
+ManU LaC The Mk V doesn't sound even close to the real IIC+, or even the IV. The IV kills the V in almost every way (cleans are better in the V). This comes from someone who plays through Mk IIC+, Mk IV, Mk V and Triaxis.
+Juan José Fonseca Godoy only issue with the 4 is the imo, not usable clean tone. Works okay for country but ehhh... Agree with your post. This amp will be a better 2c+ finally.
he looks like he could be from djent coheed and cambria
Hopefully you know it's just a recording and not actually him playing it Live...
I don't like that "djenty" tone at all. I would love to hear another demo of this amp with someone who doesn't tune to drop Q.
Stand by, +Juan José Fonseca Godoy - More demos coming soon. :)
MESA/Boogie
That's really good to hear/read. Can't wait for it! :D
+Juan José Fonseca Godoy my 7 string is actually tuned up.
will you ever make bad amps?????
that was just awesome!
Hopefully not, +jg z . :) Thanks for watching!
you're welcome!!!
So far Im heavily dissapointed. Im going to wait so I can hear more sounds of the amp, but right now im not hearing anything that resembles the greatness of the originals, not even close.
Great tone and riffs, but personally I really don't enjoy the vocals, especially when they are mixed loud in the orignal songs. I much prefer the songs instrumental.
I didn't know that the fat guy from "Lost" could play guitar
Fuck.
The clean parts just sound out of tune to me.
A tiny bit, +Kyle Ganger ... Shhhhh... :D
+MESA/Boogie I notice a few "off" parts...
Perhaps some/most/all of it was rerecorded? ;D
Nothing was re-recorded, +hitarophoenix - if it was, it wouldn't be out of tune! Next time we do this, we'll bring a better tuner. haha. In the big, cavernous, reverb-y room then, it sounded great. When we got back to process, it was a little out. No Auto-tune here! :D
Too much mid.
Hi +Prenner111 - If you look closely at the amp, there is a rotary mid control for each channel as well as the Graphic EQs that allow you to scoop to your heart's content... :D The mids in this audio are reflective of the tone we captured during the recording of this video. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. :)
I wouldn't want to completely scoop that sounds like shit too but the tone in this vid is horrid.
Must just be how John Browne wanted it.
Sometimes i wonder how much better even good players would be if they'd get rid of the fps - flying pinkie syndrome which probably kills at least 30% of the potential. Go ahead downvote this to extinction but once you're aware of it, you see it all the time. And you'll see there's something to it. The top players don't have it. Just saying it's waste of potential.
Interesting technique observation, +xstingrayx .
+xstingrayx What's flying pinky syndrome? I always thought my pinky on my left hand was pretty good. I observed alot of guitarists that tuck it under the fretboard on their left hand and always tried to avoid doing that... and on my right hand I usually tuck it under the high string as an anchor point (so when i'm trying to hit the floor with my face I know where I am)
I am not a fan of this music. But I thought the song and arrangement were pretty cool. I have noticed that when the more "structured" vocals are on a song, some are quick to call it "gay". Don't quite understand that, but it is what it is. As I said, I don't listen to much of this, but I have heard a LOT worse!
This Guy is out of tune... And these presets are too harsh... Jp's video was better !
argh. singing suuuuucks
Nope
