This man is a true musical genius and a guitar virtuoso! His attention to detail is second to none. You must experience him live in order to fully appreciate what he is saying. DT is on tour now! Go see them!
Man. Seeing JP playing live is like watching a human being turning into a titan once he turns up his lead tones and fills a stadium with his beautiful tone and delay craftmanship. Otherworldy
I ALWAYS ENJOY these RIG RUNDOWN videos by ALL of my favorite musicians....like JP!! Me being a HUGE GEAR NERD/GUITAR GEEK...I could geek out on these all day!!!!
Awesome guitar rig video. Thank you. John is one of my favorite guitarist. Met and talked to him at Guitar Center here in Michigan a few years ago. One of the coolest guys ever. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Damn, even through the compression of the phone mic that tone is killer. I cant imagine it through in-ears or having that hit your chest every night. One of the holy grails of tone man. Thanks for putting all the videos together!
One of the only players who actually needs a big, complex rig. It's very practical for John's needs. This is a player who knows what he wants, so it's all very purposeful and well thought out.
This man is fucking incredible. Not just at guitar playing, but in general. He shows his rig, with a great attitude, helpful kind answers. Yesterday i've bought the Neural DSP Petrucci plugin, it was a dream of mine, and all i can say is that all of the sounds, the transpose, metronome and a lot of cool thing in that plugin is very helpful for practicing and for recording, this is my go to now! Just amazing dude!
JP sure does have a lot of boosters... Got a pedal for boost, the Shred setting on his amp, and the push knob on the Majesty. If he turned them all on the rig would probably melt down. LOL.
Nothing more worth it living in this world Doing your profession and passion at the same time All came from your soul and heart sir thanks for inspiring us
22:21 Correct me if I'm wrong, but since John has just stated his patch changes are now automatic, then this means that most excellent drummer, Mike Mangini, is always playing to a click track. While it's very nice for John to not have to do the tap dance thing, there's a bit less musical freedom on stage. Alternatively, and probably more likely, there could also be someone manning that off-stage laptop (all the time) and selecting his program changes in real time from there.
I saw john petrucci at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Did he also do that thing when he left where he reaches his hand out to shake hands with a stranger walking in and when they reach to shake his hand he pulls his back and smoothes his hair? He gets me every time with that. He wears those Raybans and does that Joe Camel 'thumbs up' to people all the time also.
You got off lucky. I said hi once and he jabbed me in the gut with a sharpened headstock. I'd sue but he's my favorite guitar player so I let it slide.
AXE FX 3 users - go to preset 88 "Petrucci Rig". He has a cloning effect using dual detune. This makes it sound like his live "double tracked" guitar. I'd recommend changing the delay time 1&2 to 5ms and 10ms. 11ms and 16ms is a little too chorus-y
I'm a fan of Petrucci and Dream Theater but this will be my first and last Music Man guitar that I've purchased. It's not bad; just that, price to performance ratio is off the charts.
Let me see if I understand. Whenever he stomps on the midi controller on chorus, is ge activating that Dimension C on the rack? If yes, how can a regular pedal be turned on and off without stomping on it? I don't know much about midi tech
I can not wait to hear the hate, BUT I do not like this man's music. HOWEVER I love him as a resource for Mesa Boogie amps. And he seems like a lovely person. I actually think he would show respect for my use of some of the same gear. Fanboys...calm down. Mr. Petrucci, your work with/explanation of the Triaxis has been SO helpful. I love your attention to routing and usage. I just make different music than you...and I suck hard vs you as a guitar player (OBVIOUSLY, which works for my style of music). Keep on being a lovely, dedicated sound sculptist and the rest of us will find our usage from your kindly showing us your set ups. You are a great man (despite my previously stating my not being into Dream Theater). Great sound and how to get there is separate from style of music. Petrucci has (to me) always embodied that.
How do you have the compressor only on the clean channel with this setup? I did that with my ADA MP-1 for years. Just curious? I have been leaving my compressor always on. I use Xotic SP on mild. I wish there was a Compressor that would detect when overdrive channel is on/off automatically.
Hi James. The RJM Mastermind allows you to program routes. If your MP1 clean needs a compressor in there, your route would be guitar-MP1-Comp-Amp for that patch and you would just take it out for the distortion patch. So it would stay always on, but the RJM is handling it’s routing. Sound Sculpture makes similar devices. Gig Rig, Voodoo Labs, Rocktron also come to mind.
@@jimshomestudio Thanks I didn't observe how it was connected. I forgot about devices like the Rocktron Patchmate would do that. I loved how the ADA MP-1 preamp had the compressor built in the solid state clean channel.
I remember when JP were in school together in 3rd grade band, the Piccolo just wasn’t good enough for him i guess? Glad i master the triangle but no one watches my videos.
His live sound is insane
I think the modern cell phones are finally capturing how good his live tone is
Always has been.
heard them live 1st time they visit malaysia , the liquidity tightness of his sound were better than in the records .

the over the shoulder views of his playing are the most invaluable footage of his playing that exists. Incredible video.
This man is so humble and so gifted. He is a model for all of us aspiring guitarists, even if you don't play this genre of music
Still touted as one of the BEST guitarists in the world and still so humble. Just another reason why I love JP and his playing! 😁
👍
Im so glad they actually put the pa signal instead of the phone camera audio.
I ALWAYS ENJOY these RIG RUNDOWN videos by ALL of my favorite musicians....like JP!! Me being a HUGE GEAR NERD/GUITAR GEEK...I could geek out on these all day!!!!
I was thrilled to see John accept the Grammy for Dream Theater's "The Alien" for best metal performance. Just awesome.
Awesome vid. JP going 8 string is like people going to the moon. Something epic about it
Awesome guitar rig video. Thank you. John is one of my favorite guitarist. Met and talked to him at Guitar Center here in Michigan a few years ago. One of the coolest guys ever. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
He was nice like that since he was a kid. That ain't changed. Totally unpretentious soul.
Damn, even through the compression of the phone mic that tone is killer. I cant imagine it through in-ears or having that hit your chest every night. One of the holy grails of tone man. Thanks for putting all the videos together!
Appreciate you sharing all this John . Great stuff man.
Best sounding guitar rig video I've ever heard! Wicked nice.
“My basic rhythm tone” Absolutely *crushing* 😂 Even in my heaviest days, I don’t think I ever used a tone 80% that aggressive/gainy! Insane…
So humble to walk us through his arsenal of goodies
I’ve actually never heard JP talk. Lol. He’s unbelievably easy to listen to. His cadence is great, so easy to understand. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for this, these were awesome and very informative. Glad to see John is still using his Mesas and hasn't totally gone the all electronic route.
Who else got chills when he started playing at 23:09?
His sound presets are so iconic, just unbelievable!
One of the only players who actually needs a big, complex rig. It's very practical for John's needs. This is a player who knows what he wants, so it's all very purposeful and well thought out.

My guitar hero
JP sure does have a lot of boosters... Got a pedal for boost, the Shred setting on his amp, and the push knob on the Majesty. If he turned them all on the rig would probably melt down. LOL.

Love the shirt JP, and really enjoyed your signature bourbon from Iron and Smoke. Heard you also play guitar here and there.

I love it when John goes nerdy about his gears, its fun to watch him do a walkthrough on his gears
Great videos, he's had an awesome guitar sound right from the start, he's just always refining and updating while still sounding unmistakably JP 👌🏼
cool Petrucci thanks for sharing your tech rig.
Incredible talent . Enough said .
He explains everything in a great user friendly approach. Excellent
Oh man that smoked pearl Majesty is SICK!!!

John es uno de los mejores guitarristas del mundo.
Un saludo desde Valencia-España 🤘🎵🎶🙏🚀🪐🌟💫
I love you petrucci!
Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome Mr. Brian! Enjoy and fun watching the familiarizations of that musical equiptment!🎵🎸
A master of his craft for sure. Fun video, thanks!
The money I would pay or things I would do just play that rig for one hour!!! Unbelievable tones-
thx for uploading
Amazing rig. Thanks for share !
melts the sun
Absolutely. Insane. I feel like my math aptitude doubled just by watching that video. LOL!!

Rock pose #27, that was good. Amazing individual, definite leader by action. Inspiring.
john is one of the guitar players with the best tones i have heard!!! one day i will have a majesty and a jp2c!!
This is awesome.
It never fails the true Master class musicians their are almost always very humble because they never stop learning
DT for the win baby 🏆 🤘
Genioooóo! Lo admiro mucho! 💪🤘😎💜👍
Brings back old memories of rock discipline giant racks
Thanks for this, it's seems JP is changing his pedals almost yearly now and I love to hear his feedback on the new ones he has.
That mimic sounds amazing on headphones.
Playing starts at 23:10 - what a tasteful player!
That MIMIC pedal is my secret as well. I fucking love it.
I'd love John Myung to do such video...
Magnificent ! As always 🤩🤩😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🤘🤘💪
Dear Santa Klaus, this year I've been a good guy, please, for Christmas, I would to receive a guitar. Thanks Santa.
23:03 BOOM! Love you JP!
Id like to see a nice long and laid back interview with Petrucci and Lifeson together
wooo killer tone
I'm a fan of Petrucci and Dream Theater but this will be my first and last Music Man guitar that I've purchased. It's not bad; just that, price to performance ratio is off the charts.
Congrats on the Grammy
Wow, that amp eq change would seemingly effect things significantly everywhere downstream, but maybe not, interesting he did that.
Brilliant
one of the best tones in the world.Maybe some day ill own a Boogie and be your Boogie man
Have you been able to log in on Instagram on the web recently? I can't log in on the web. I can only log in on the app.
Wow those tones, I wonder if he gets the same sound thru his ears where the air is not getting pushed
holyhell the accuracy of this man's feet!
Man I was hoping he would show us World Domination Mode.
at 6:30 it's K.I.T.T. from the Knight Rider (shit i'm old!)
Let me see if I understand. Whenever he stomps on the midi controller on chorus, is ge activating that Dimension C on the rack? If yes, how can a regular pedal be turned on and off without stomping on it? I don't know much about midi tech
Too funny! Oops. I just broke it!
Awe!!!! He learned how to use mids!
tks upload~
23:40 Magia!!!!
Can someone tell me what reference monitors are those in front of him when he's playing.
We've finally found the one thing that Petrucci can't navigate at speed, the fractal interface!
thats how us bass players sneak through the mix ... drive those mids LOL JP is like "RTFM" ☮🧡
As the Palaces Burn was the Lamb of God album that made me buy a Mark IV.
He has the neural DSP plugin but doesn’t use the quad cortex I wonder does neural care about that

The tone goat
24:41 its mesa... unique
Is John still using vintage 40s in his cabinets which are made by Ghandi?

I'm surprised you dont use the cab impulses for your iem mix
I have all this and more than that
Where can I buy those John Petrucci shoes?
I own Marshall, boogies, orange, 5150 fender and
Whats the song at 23:41?
"Pull me under" and "Another Day"
He's using a white pick 👀 I wonder if it's a new signature model 🤔
Wow 🤩, man my wallet is sure gonna be crying after seeing this haha 😆
what wedge monitors is he using?
Does he still go into "killzone" and "world domination" mode?
4 million notes per second, man.
I remember when JP were in school together in 3rd grade band, the Piccolo just wasn’t good enough for him i guess? Glad i master the triangle but no one watches my videos.
My Ninja!!!
Is he using cabs somewhere or is he using loadboxes and the fractal? I remember he used to have mesa cabs offstage so maybe he is still doing that.
real cabs
