Tone Sessions: JP-2C / 2x12 Rectifier - John Browne - "Melancholia"

- Mesa Artist and Monuments guitarist John Browne plays through the JP-2C and a 2x12 Recto cab on his song “Melancholia”, from his latest Flux Conduct solo project album, Yetzer Hara. The JP-2C and John’s world-class down picking skills highlight the accuracy, clarity and tightness available from the JP-2C gain channels.
The JP-2C delivers staggering power, punch and authority while matching that width beautifully with the rich, even-ordered harmonic layering that has become such a hallmark of the infamous Mesa Mark IIC+ amplifiers. One of the common responses from people plugging into the JP-2C for the first time is surprise when they feel how accurate, tight and immediately responsive to pick attack the amp remains with such massive high gain on tap. A wide range of detailed gain and saturation is supported by incredible headroom and pure Mark Series power that hasn’t been seen or felt since the Mark IIC+ landed in studios and on stages in the early 80s and beyond.
Recorded through the JP2C and a 2x12 Rectifier cab with Vintage 30 speakers, via a Mayones Duvell with Seymour Duncan P-Rail pickups into a Jim Dunlop 6 band EQ, Reaper Pedals JB Signature Pandemonium OD and Boss NS2. Mic’d with a Royer 121, Shure SM57, CabClone and a Mojave 301 room mic and mixed 40% 121, 30% SM57, 15% CabClone and 15% Mojave Room mic.

John Browne and Rabea Massaad should do an instrumental album, it would be insane!!!!
This dude is a riff machine! So sick!
The level of precision of this man's right hand is remarkable! My main influence is from Petrucci using alternative picking. This guys technique is something new to see and I'm really diggin' it. \m/
Thank you for helping give John a voice
Man John’s enjoying himself so much, it’s great to see some passion!
1:02 bro that fucking startled me. I was so immersed in his playing, the sudden change in expression broke my concentration.
Same. He broke the 4th wall haha
MR.BROWNE SHREDD IS AMAZING TO WATCH.
Dear Mesa,
Within the last month or so, you've introduced three wonderful musicians (John, Jason, and Nick) into my life that I discovered through your showcasing. I'm now an avid fan, follower, and supporter of them. Thank you. This is the sort of "hell yeah!" I need to listen to as I study for my boards.
Man, EL34 - this is just such a kind and inspiring compliment for the Mesa channel. Thank you - and it's our honor to feature these musicians that make the gear sound so dang good all the time. :D Thanks for taking the time to share this awesome compliment - we sure appreciate it and I can say that I know the musicians do as well. Good luck with the study and the tests and rock on! :)
Normally I don't leave comments like this. But, please quit complaining and listen to the tone from the amp and his playing. No, this kind of music isn't for everyone, but no genre is.
Marcus Köhlquist The problem is the music doesn't highlight the tone. it's 5 minutes of single note staccato yawn fest.
Seriously - doesn't highlight the tone? You're not listening very well.
"5 minutes of single note staccato yawn fest." I dunno man, I saw plenty of chords as well. Complaining for the complainings sake.
Growing up with Hendrix, Gary Moore, Ritchie Blackmore and others in that generation I have been totally knocked out by these, for me, new players and styles. Love it!
dundundundun dun dun dee roo dao
dun dun dunun dun dun dee roo dao
love it! very unique riffing \m/
That performance was brilliant! Perfect tone, clean technique, melodic song, 10/10
Once again Mesa knocks it out of the park with sweet content.. Sat down with a glass of red, two cold ones and put this on... Thanks for making my friday complete... Now I have my Triple warming up... Cheers!!
the craziest monster as far as rhythm guitars jesus christ
Agreed! :)
Yeah! Finally playthrugh one of my favorite song of Mr. Browne! Incredible job!
John is an innovator in a bland recycled music industry god bless him and all his successes and thank you for bringing us something new. Screw those ppl talking negative they're just jealous I can feel the jealousy through the comments
Thomas Morris thank you, I'm glad you were able to find something good within this.
I joined nail the mix cuz I the creator was on it and I am self taught as well. I learned more on your quality recorded tracks an I have in the last 3 years. I bugged the shit out of Eyal to hear my mix cuz I missed the deadline too lol. Your awesome dude I'm glad I found out about you. The haters are all poofs and sheep shaggers anyways
Killer tone, great tune, amazing playing!
such a sick song / album / artist, everything about his songwriting and playing i love so much haha
love his tone and playing in this video! this song has grown on me for sure!
Love my JP2C, one of my top 3 fav Mesa's of all time.
Just wanted to thank you for creating such amazing music JB! Keep creating and I'll keep listening! 🤘🏻
The JP-2C + recto cab look so beautiful!
mighty mighty John Browne.. so original, cant understand how he comes with all those great riffs in one song
This is the most inspired I've heard John play in quite some time.
thanks for this upload Mesa. solid demo as usual :)
Metal Post Malone
4:34 my face the entire song
This amp is BEYOND KILLER!! I need one for my collection.
Love the passion man !!!! Killer tone
Great riffs. Looks like a really fun song to perform.
Love the honest film description
Great great great! Good job John and Mesa!
Many thanks, Wavetech!
Incredible playing, song and tone. \m/
so tight!
0:56 The Alchemist!
always get goosebumps when hearing that bit!
Hey Mesa, as soon as monuments 3rd album drops ask if John would like to do some play through and small rig setup rundowns!!! AlOT of us will surely watch :D
I'd definitely watch that! Good idea Hayden!
Watch his right hand more than his amp settings.
Totally crazy music... I want to hear more like this and write musics like this too one day. Stunning!!!
That was incredible.
this playthrough is so fucking legendary
Mesa, keep uploading videos!! ♥
love this !!!
I think this is my current favorite guitarrist!!! I can't stop to hear him...
Awesome amp!! Great playing!! Cheers!!
The riff machine John Browne :)
Awesome, can't wait for mine!
I'm in tone heaven
nice song, like it!!! have that grovey and party feel
This is just sensational
2:21 feels like Conceit! Awesome playthrough!
Killer tune!
Great mayo guitar, sound and riffs. John always nails it :)
Great comment. Thanks for watching
Awesome song!
Class!!!
F'n Magnificent !!
Oh my! Mesa and Mayones, also known as Mesayones. Perfect fit.
edit: I just realised that John Browne comes with a price tag haha.
Holy shit, man. Just holy shit.
Currently paying off a 2x12 and a mini rec. Can't wait to try them and can't wait to get the JP-2C
Great playing
Now that’s a demo!
I was greatly inspired by this awesome music and demo. Great job by John. If you liked this be sure to check out his channel, many great vids on there. You can hear how he dials in his Mesa amps and what they sound like with and without pedals running in the front.
John is a master
Finally, you can hear the guitars in a Monuments song! Thank the mids!
lol were you having problems? From the ep of gnosis to the new stuff after baretto left Ive never had an issue with hearing the djent browne.
Not to mention the fact EMG tv has him play so much of their stuff.
This ain’t a Monuments song…
so sick🤘
fucking love it, your riffs are next level john!
I’m buying this amp and another 2X12 recto so my Mark 4 has a buddy to play with!!! I love my Mesa amps and cabs pure tone and take pedals to the next level!!! Gotta have my touring rig complete!!!
My JP-2C should be here in a week or 2. I finally get to level up. Man, I'm excited. Never had anything remotely close to this level of quality/performance.
Big congrats, Terry, and we hope it exceeds your expectations with great tones for years! Let us know if we can help you with anything. :)
MESA/Boogie thank You! And I'm positive it will!
amazing technique ! 😈
Soooo fu**ing nice!
This is pretty awesome sounding. I'd love if they did some fresh demos of the Road King II.
So freaking bad ass
nice song!
It's like a stream of constant riffing, sort of like Nuno Bettencourt. Awesome playing, I have to check out more of Browne's and Monuments' stuff. I like the JP-2C, but I already have two original IIC+s... think I'm going to go for the TC50 next time I splurge. Gotta love those EL-34s.
Finally!!!
It's a fucking catchy song! Loved!
Man, I wish. Got the cab now I just need this to complete it. This hurricane screw up everything though :(
Now i saw everything! John not only god of downstroke, he can show us some variable stroke, ha ha)
I love this tone.. What recommendations for change to these settings would you give on a 4x12 recto if any?
They had to constrict blood flow to his picking hand muscles so he wouldn't snap a string every downpick.
Browne is so tight and the tone is so perfect that it almost seems fake lol
Don't worry, I know it's not (maybe a bit low in the mix, though)...just, this dude's groove always blows me away every time!!
groooove!
Holy fuck, this man rips...
Wonderful amp Got the same setup my self, except his fingers:) Couldn't manage to see, was the shred function on ?
The picking hand of the 5th dimension!
Essa musica é foda ! This song is freaking awesome
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Toite godtier riffing from JB as always. You guys at Mesa let him in or does he have a key?
My rectifier 2x12 doesnt do that
:D
Tube screamer and noise gate buddy.
We need an amp that can play guitar so we don't have to
Holy shit man
+John Browne Is the chorus like a reworked version of The Alchemist? I have noticed running themes in your music before, I'm not sure if they are intentional, but I really dig them. You've become one of my favorite guitarists and an inspiration to me very quickly.
Aye, since Gnosis i've been doing it. Dunno why, I just kinda like it too.
i noticed that too, but i can't tell if i love more this version or the downtuned one in the alchemist...
1:01 i fucking started to laugh, that face was unexpected
What settings are in the amp and eq pedal?
I love the song! BTW, what tuning is that?
DADGAD
So good! Although shredding part sounds a bit odd rhythmically. Is it off-beat?
Is it freezing in that room?
that’s because of cold bias.
Not Djender Neutral but I like this song. Incredible playing from this dude.
Great right pinky!
Sweeeeet
Anyway I can find a tab or guitar pro tabs for this song?
Ultimate Guitar has tabs for Melancholia. That's what I used anyway, such an awesome song to play!
browne is the biggest monster
Was it super cold in the studio??
Edgar Trask lol it's his look
We try hard to make our artists comfortable while performing... :)
0:40 the headstock looks bigger than the body LOL
