Mark Snyder Builds John Petrucci's Rig pt. 1

Mark Synder building John Petrucci's ToT Rig.

[@Schrittwieser]

Mark Snyder is a great sound tech, wine expert and all around great guy. And he loves to eat steak at Peter Luger in Brooklyn.

[@HoodleDooker]

Been playing the Mark V combo for about 3 months. I picked it out after many hours of side by side testing and it's been nothing but a joy to play ever since.

[@benoitquinton]

I remember download those 2 videos parts on limewire...on a 56k modem. It was good quality at the time haha. Damn it's feels like a million years ago.

[@RandyLott]

he is going about this very logically, it seems that he's using a send effects into a mixer with dedicated effects and then back in the returns to get stereo perception and a low noise signal.

[@thewererabbit]

he's also a wildly successful musician, I'm sure he or his label has the bucks in addition to whatever deal boogie gives him.

[@Topcat6103]

What, an overdrive pedal and a distortion pedal? A distortion pedal is just that, a usually digital pedal that creates your entire distorted sound. Classic examples are the DS1, BIg Muff, and Rat. An Overdrive pedal helps a tube amp distort earlier, and improves the overall quality of said distortion. Classic examples are the Tube Screamer, Tube Driver, and the Maxon OD9

[@FrancescoK]

Soooo much money's worth in that rig! ;)

[@Tanax13]

What kind of pedal is that? That he uses to switch between presets and amps and all that?

[@5150forevermore]

16 Years ago. Whoa

[@guitaristguy20]

Why was the case and pedal board the wrong size? What kind of pro ordering is that?

[@jsk8et]

I would just use an A/B/Y box, so you can choose either amp seperately or combine them. Guitar into the input, one output to the Peavey, one output to the Boogie.

[@BrandonRayhaun]

how do you switch amps, i don't like my peavey's clean, so i was thinking of using like an old mesa for my clean and i wanna know how to switch heads and cabs for cleans

[@snapascrew]

i like this its cool

[@Patzeppelin69]

at least 30 grand! Mesa heads are not cheap, and there are at least 4 of them there!

if i may ask, what are their differences?=)

[@Topcat6103]

Dude, really. 5 amps he says it within the first 30 seconds "This one is gunna get three roadkings, this one is gunna have two lonestars..."

[@SongeLeReveur]

Who wouldn't ? :)

[@brandon5pennies]

holy shit that rig is fucking huge i bet it cost in the market of about $20,000-$30,000

[@fireball676]

i want one!!!!! *drool*

[@dcaonoek]

mogami are ok. But if you wan the ultimate in strong cable with a really good shield you can't past Canare GS-6 with Nuetrik connectors. Solder on by somebody who knows what they are doing not just any hobo with a soldering iron.

[@RLeem7b5]

who doesnt love to eat steak at Peter Luger

[@RandyLott]

MIDI switcher.

[@akaboo69]

Actually my Valve king is all tube and it sounds great i don't use any distortions threw it

[@natusdea]

Un-******ng-real

[@aligatorsandwitch72]

but your forgetting John Petrucci has been with mesa for about 18 years, he probably gets it all the amps for free. Or at least a HUGE discount

[@rickfeith6372]

JP has been Mesa's poster child for the better part of two decades now. The ONLY thing from Boogie he has to pay for is his INSANE collection of vintage IIC+ heads. He literally owns every version of the amp ever made...gotta be at least 10 different models..90w Simul, 60/100 ab, EQ +/-, 180w, satelite, heads and 112 combo. Heard he might have close to 50. Those are the only ones that cost him

[@AdamDallas]

Holy crap.... There's easily 30 grand's worth of gear there

[@Nghilifa]

me neither! im going to sell my marshall rack.. just going to buy a marshall non master volume head, a delay pedal and a EQ pedal.. thats it.. just guitar - cable - amp.. im tired of tapdancing lol

[@Mixer8900]

And now we have the ultimate killing machine!

[@panamanian911]

he is endorsed by them, he gets them completely free.

[@VastChoirs]

God damn that's fucking sick...I wonder how much he's spent on guitar equipment over his lifetime? (or how much his endorsers have spent rather|)

[@steriliuz]

all we need now, is some cheesy "keep the excitement"-music

[@KT88FTW]

dedicating 2 road kings for cleans? thats like dedicating a ferrari for fetching the mail from the end of the driveway!!!

[@rickfeith6372]

What rubbish is this? RKs are for the Train of Thought crunch and leads...in stereo. Lonestar for the magnetic cleans.

[@Joematthews666]

Hahaha, Tube amps usually sound better with tube screamers. saying that the best tones have no fx is a little short sighted

[@davidmangubat]

All examples you said aren't digital. They're all analog.

[@Tanax13]

haha epic answer :p

[@lennonlemos]

Hello you who filmed this video of Mark Snyder. I learned that the DT will come to Brazil. I would like to talk to petrucci for chat send me the chat site he frequents. I'm a fan. I wonder orkut or twitter mark snyder and john petrucci.

[@RLeem7b5]

lol true true

[@Joematthews666]

I think the true bypass mod is only really usefull if you are using the TS as a standalone distortion unit (and who the fuck does that). Its a useless mod in the studio, or when you switch between clean and distorted using a midi pedal controller. Personaly I think the old TS is a great tool for getting a little extra from and amp by setting the gain at 0 and level so that it barely effects volume. Perfecto

[@Topcat6103]

The TubeScreamer is not a distortion pedal, its a overdrive pedal, they are different

[@iLundqvist]

He probably gets paid to use them!

[@chriscoooley]

00:47 looks wrong

[@scottiev77]

kind of boring, but pretty informative.

[@kwoodman86]

not to mention some else is doing all that crap for you!!!!
