John Petrucci Dream Theater Triaxis™ / 2:90™ / 2014 Rig Tour Demo

[@OlaEnglund]

I like the fact that he's still using the triaxis 2:90 combo. I had that long time ago and it's definitely the key to the petrucci sound.

[@bramblebop1904]

😨

[@vent676]

It's a magic combo. I still use it. Best sound ever.

[@MrLennonson]

@Odell Mateo go fuck urself

[@Golem29]

Yeah I think you need the deep modern extra settings on the 2:90 to really get the tone right. The other power amps like the 20/20 won't do it justice

[@nickyounger1368]

@Odell Mateo you shut the fuck up man. No hate for Ola here!

[@DeepakEapenKoothoor]

Those tones are immaculate, tight and sounds out of the world. JP weaves them together impeccably like a master weaver. Speechless.

[@mesaboogie]

Thanks,Deepak Eapen - We agree! :D

[@OlaEnglund]

And great video btw, I'm always into what Petrucci is using.

[@currerbell-eyre606]

Ola Englund It's always cool to see sick players like Ola show up at other player's videos and stuff like that. Two totally different players but both absolutely mind-boggling.

[@mesaboogie]

Thanks,Ola Englund - Much appreciated! :D

[@crotchet1586]

Yeah, but how do I get that sound outta my fender mustang ii modelling, practice amp...? lmao

[@vinswart2916]

Hey guys quick question, I have a mesa 395 switchtrack poweramp which I like to connect to triax, however I play only metal/metalcore, can I get a decent tone out a triax/395 combo? with od fcourse

[@mesaboogie]

Hi ***** - Of course! The 395 is a great power amp and will sound very heavy. The older Mesa power amps sound a little harder and more forward in the midrange but they work killer, especially if you want to have a harder hitting sound for high gain music. Rock on!

[@adriansmith76]

The meaning of life..... is the tone at 4:45. Just perfection.

[@liheng89]

3:43 - John forgot to mention this also controls the rate of the earth's revolution and how hot the sun is

[@JoaoSantos-ho3db]

hahahahaha nice dude xD

[@musicaldrops]

Lmao!

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

Which is why mostly use my guitar; my DT- 25 amp and all points in between so that don’t get lost in the woods! 😳

[@CYON4D]

Great to see someone who knows that :D

[@assoldier13]

Good thing he still uses those strings that don´t melt while playing 5 billion bpm

[@reallg]

John's playing and sound on this tour was completely amazing, I have been watching DT play live shows for 20 years and he never sounded better than this last tour.

[@FredBrum]

Impeccable sounding as per usual. Love how the thick, juicy driven tones and John's playing mesh so well. :)

[@RICCARDOREARDON]

THIS ONE OF. IF NOT MY ALL TIME FAVORITE VIDEO ON KZbin.. UNCLE~MR.JOHN PETRUCCI IS AN ABSOLUTE PHENOMENAL GUITARIST...

[@PhantomBoy7]

although I had no guitar teacher or anything .... but this man Taught me a lot ..... he is sth else. thank you for everything Mr Petrucci

[@horizonforevergold]

Who else is on a JP rig video spree? Awesome videos on this channel, much appreciated!

[@mesaboogie]

Thank you, Horizon! There's more comin' :)

[@JamesRussoMillas]

I saw DT on this tour and swore that it was the best sounding tone I've ever heard from Petrucci. When I saw a run down of his rig and how small it was I was blown away. Those Triaxis Pres are phenomenal!

[@brunoalves3958]

I wish all Petrucci's videos for Mesa/Boogie lasted at least half an hour. I can't get enough with less than 10 minutes! Too good to be this short!

[@xtazxvegasx]

I failed to realize at first those were 1x12s. For a second, I thought Petrucci was a damn giant.

[@theaterdreamer]

Tell me, guys: is it just me? Or is John Petrucci about the coolest guy on the planet? And by cool, I mean down to Earth, approachable, laid back yet gregarious. I’ve seen a few of his demo videos, one where he was at a Guitar Center showing off his new Majesty custom seven string. He had this amazing interplay with the audience, and was open to answering any questions thrown his way. Funny, self deprecating, and filled with as much musical knowledge as any human being could possibly have. And the next part is that he’s willing to share that knowledge. It just pours out of him. What a tremendous teacher he’d be. I have nothing but the utmost respect for John Petrucci as a musician, and as a human being. He’s pretty much become my musical idol, and while I’ll never come even close to his ability as a guitarist, he inspires me. I’d give just about anything to meet him, and shake his hand. John, if you ever see this, or if somebody close to him does, and feels like forwarding a message, I thank you (as well as John M, Charlie, James, Mike and Mike, Kevin, Derek and Jordan) for so many great years of listening pleasure. I’ve seen DT nine times in concert (the last being about ten years ago before I hurt my back), and this next show in Dallas this coming April will be the first time I see them with Mr. Mangini. I’m pumped beyond belief! Stay cool, brother. You do your family and the band proud!

[@MattJackson314]

Lol absolutely the opposite of down to earth but a good player nonetheless

[@rodtang2598]

@@MattJackson314 have you met him in person?

[@allencollins6031]

He was like that since he was a kid. Totally unpretentious.

Hi +Nino Scholz - This is from John's tech regarding pedal switching in & out: "We use an RJM Mini Effects Gizmo(MEG) to switch the pedals in and out. The MEG is a midi controlled loop switcher. The loops are True Bypass. Each pedal has its own loop. The two overdrive pedals are daisy chained together in series in one loop. This is for easier swapping of overdrive pedals. Only one is on at a time. All of the loops are controlled by the foot controller." Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@mesaboogie]

Thanks! ***** :)

[@edwardishak9297]

Im still in highschool and when I already have a job one of my achievements is to have 1 boogie amp👍🏻

[@jamilkeithdamias914]

john P. you are the reason why i learned to play a guitar. thank you for being an inspiration to us! DT forever.

[@alldham]

Love how the Majesty changes color according to the lighting.

[@x7stringinJSCx]

Mesa always has the coolest stuff. i love it.

[@Nevermind2004x]

Finally even the top-notch guitarists are realizing you really don't need more than a 1x12 cab that sounds good. MESA has done an amazing job on these. Also thank god for the axe-fx, this unit has single-handedly changed how we perceive modelling.

[@mattvdh]

a 1x12 sounds punchier and cleaner for sure, but you would need the 4 individual cabs like he has setup here to be able to compete with a live drummer, 1 single 1x12 wouldn't cut it.

[@wrenis_pinkle]

@@mattvdh Incorrect. But you've probably learned that since posting this comment 6 years ago.

[@tel5690]

Thanks Mesa/Boogie for this. .Been a long time user and supporter for over 20 years. . Love how John uses his gear. .Awesome

[@MatteoFarindolini]

INCREDIBLE. Incredible as usual...I'll love forever the union between John Petrucci and MESA/Boogie. Great!

[@storylineofficial]

Yup, sounds good to us too! The quick smile at 7:19 summarizes it nicely...

[@gatitavelosa]

Thanks a lot for the explanation of the speakers... As a mesa mark V owner i can affirm that is one of the most amazing amps ever created and designed period... Pure creamy and heavenly cleans and overdrive and everything in between... I personally fell in love with the v30s, just a magical interaction(that punch and authority, but still very musical and sweet) Cant wait to try the mark 25 watts... You guys nail it again!!!

[@lamargent5434]

My new hero. Tooks me 25 years to get it. Petrucci is gold, MESA is legend.

[@DreaminginWaves]

I could have sat here and watched/listened to him go through every single patch for hoursss.

[@xaviermathabela4535]

The Genius, doing what he does!!! There are no words that can express my feelings for Dream Theater, especially Petrucci. The type of dude I'd LOVE to have a drink with. Thank you for being there during the most sensitive and critical years of my life. Since The Backroom in Austin, TX back in 1993 I've been hooked. Thank you Mesa Boogie for granting 'The Genius' the tools to communicate with us. See you at the next show!

[@otakurocklee]

That tone is so good

[@justinpowell1893]

I love these rig videos.

[@EmanueleCunsolo]

Thanks ***** for these last Petrucci's videos!

[@mesaboogie]

Our pleasure,Emanuele Cunsolo - Thanks for watching!

[@TheCyberianWonder]

"God gave John Petrucci Gave John Petrucci, Put him in your soul for everyone." One of the very best demos I've heard. This man has such a delicate ear. Everything about his sound is right. I don't know if there's room for improvement, as far as tone goes, and I can only say that about a dozen or so guitar players. Petrucci's sound is uniquely magical. His gear is a factor, but the better half of his sound is the result of trained hands and a gifted soul. Even with this exact rig, ain't no one gonna make it sing like JP does - but that's just my opinion.

[@benmiddleton9984]

love the Tri axis

[@MrDeepzek]

What a genius. He does not take anything that's less than perfect. His gear and tone is as great as everything else, he puts so much effort just to get the tone he wants. I wish I had 15% of his skills lol. Love John

[@JAAM013]

I think I'm in love with that clean sound.

[@gtr1487]

Damn...that's a masterpiece of a guitar.

that guitar is perfect! I want it now!!!!!

[@yannleroux1005]

The crunch tone is absolutely fantastic, such dynamic and tight-end, it's marvelous! Triaxis is out of my budget, but one of the best preamps up there.

Amazing for sure. Great to see and watch

[@sricaroko6600]

Tanks john 🤘🤘🤘.

I had a Triaxis + 2:90 + small recto cab setup with TC G-Force fx. Fantastic sounds, very versatile and all paid for with gig money from (primary use!) - Clubs, Weddings, Functions band for over 20 years.

[@frozenbananagiraffe]

What speaker did you have in your cabinets?

[@Diy-fever]

Beautiful rig. Small and versatile

[@hoschie2261]

Mesa bring back the Triaxis... please... This is the most magic preamp ever. I still remember as it came out there was a presentation at Cherry Music in Braunschweig Germany and I was blown away the same way as I'm blown away every time I switch on my very old unit.

[@mesaboogie]

Hi Hoschie - thanks for the kind words and so glad the Triaxis continues to work well for you. It's amazing that it was in production for nearly 20 years! It may someday return but in the meantime, we hope you continue to get inspiration and great tone from it. :)

[@hoschie2261]

Just play a note or a chord and listen what the TA does with it. I love to do that when I'm alone in the rehearsal room. 1 note or 1 chord and listen. Beautiful ...

[@DSKim-ej5uf]

wonderful! very good! amazing!

[@MullmuzzlerDT]

WHOA! Now PLEASE bring it all with you to some venues in the U.K. in the summer! :-) \m/

15,000$ bedroom set-up. I could only imagine having this in my room.

[@Mam_2854]

For your bed room, just by an Axe-FX (if you still want high end but not 15000 lol) Just explored the Tri-Axis models on the unit and they sound great!

[@mthao1832]

It’s like 3k for my triaxis ,290 , G force, furman in a sus-4

[@xXxglassgowdreamxXx]

That's straight up the dream rig right there

[@GuillermoSmyser]

He used this amp combo to record Images and Words! Just missing the guitars.

[@Golem29]

I'm fairly sure he used the Mesa MkIIC+ rather than the triaxis

[@stevemineer2857]

He used a Quad preamp and 295 power amp for I&W.
