John Petrucci Guitar Rig

[fbecir]

Hello

I just uploaded a video of John Petrucci where he shows his amps and his guitars. This video was shot in October in Paris during the soundcheck.

Oh, the commentaries are in French ... but JP speaks English !

JP=Jesus.......
Guess you're right about the 4x12 cabs!

 

[MatrixAndyR]

So wait... the 4x12's in the front are purely for show... nothing plugged in at all???

 

[beachjammer]

That was cool! I'm supposed to see them at the end of this month and I can't wait!

 

[mesaboogieman]

That was good stuff. Thanks for posting the link!

Ghey... at the very least he should have a midget pop out of the grille cloth during the show.

 

[colinboy]

yes but he says in the video that he is still using 2 4x12 boogie cabnets.its just he doesnt want any outside ambience or noise etc so he has blankets covering them.

Right. It's not a 1 x 12 combo back there. It's still two 4 x 12 cabinets back there.

his beard is outrageous in that vid!

 

[leftyguitarblue]

thanks for the link. Always love hearing about his gear.

Now I wonder if he always had his Cabs like that. That will open up a whole new can of worms over on the Petrucci forums. They really love to criticize gear. That's interesting, though. How he has 2 monitors so he can actually feel the stage rumble. If you shut off the PA- it must be super quiet.

I will upload the original file if you want on a FTP (the orginal file has a size of 135 MB. The quality is much better than on Youtube). Just give me some time

Right. It's not a 1 x 12 combo back there. It's still two 4 x 12 cabinets back there.

What's the reason, do you know ? Perhaps, there are several microphones (for instance one near the center of one speaker, another a bit on the border of another speaker). If there is just one microphone, a 1x12 or a 4x12 are equivalent if the cabinets are isolated (in the case where the cabinets are not isolated, what you hear is the mix of the PA and of the cabinets. That why we prefer to have a 4x12, we have more oommph from the cabs !).

The technical details are in fact not important : the most amazing thing in this video is John. He is completely cool & relax. He takes time during soundcheck to show his gear and to explain a lot of things (he will play in a few hours in front of 8000 screaming Frenchmen !)... What a gentleman ! Amazing !

I think Michael Angelo Batio will slice faces open during Trial of Tears.
