Mesa Boogie JP-2C Head John Petrucci Signature

Three channels, two equalizers

With three channels, the Mesa Boogie JP-2C John Petrucci Signature Head covers a wide sound spectrum between glass clean, creamy overdrive and modern high gain distortion, whereby each channel is perfectly adjustable via an individual tone control. For channels 2 and 3, the "Shred" mode can also be activated, which significantly increases the assertiveness with accentuated highs and emphasized attack. Another special feature of the Mesa Boogie JP-2C are the two graphic 5-band equalizers, which can be assigned to each channel individually and significantly increase the tonal variability.

Tube driven spring reverb and effect travel, MIDI

In addition, the Mesa Boogie JP-2C Head offers an integrated reverb effect based on a tube-driven spring reverberation system with a long reverb spiral for a warm, particularly spacious sound. Three controls on the rear of the aluminium amplifier chassis allow the reverb effect to be adjusted individually for each of the three channels. Other effect devices can also be connected to the amplifier via the tube-driven, serial effect path. All functions of the Mesa Boogie JP-2C can be controlled either by the included footswitch or MIDI.

100 Watt and CabClone DI

The output stage of the Mesa Boogie JP-2C is equipped with four 6L6 tubes and delivers 100 watts, which can be reduced to 60 watts if required. Accordingly, the compact top has sufficient volume reserves for the rehearsal room or the large stage. In addition, John Petrucci amplifiers are equipped with the Mesa Boogie CabClone DI box, which simplifies the removal of the amplifier in the studio or during performances thanks to speaker simulation with voicing options. CabClone also allows the Mesa JP-2C to mute the speaker and connect headphones for silent practice or recording.
