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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

I knew that Dude was huge but he towers over those 4x12 cabinets!

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!

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

Thank you for sharing this with us. I have only seen DT one time and John's rig is epic live . Thanks again.

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

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!

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.

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!

I love these rig videos.

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

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

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

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

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!

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!!!

So cool and interesting! Thanks for posting, he's one of my favs

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

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

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!

Love how the Majesty changes color according to the lighting.

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.

Awesome rig! Thanks for the tour!

Mesa always has the coolest stuff. i love it.

Compact and very organized, just the way I like it!!

Amazing for sure. Great to see and watch

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

That tone is so good

Great as always

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

Dude you're just SICK AS HELL!!!!!! Thanks for all the GREAT MUSIC!!!!!!!!

beautiful sound

Really liked this video! All the best!!

I love John, he's just awesome.

WOW so much sounds its a life time of experience without limits

Awesome. Watching this with earphones in I'm really getting the stereo effect.

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

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

love the Tri axis

Nice sounds.too cool John Petrucci.

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

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

Man John's tone sounds HUGE!!!!!......EPIC

Man since this video was released it has been my dream rig and now I saved money for it I made my own cables and all that stuff and I finally have it 😍

The white and gold guitar looks amazing.

Good to see a guitar legend using such a simple setup.

Tanks john 🤘🤘🤘.

I love john patrucci's sound and guitar phrasing.

All the equipments of JP is awesome..

I really fell in love with clean tone

great rig, so massive sound!!

His signature flow picks are amazing,they really flow over the strings

Sounds awesome!

AWESOME IN EVERY WAY!

The rigs are awesome!! My dad would love to use this for his shows!! 👍

At last! A Triaxis demo. Thank you MESA/Boogie

sounds awesome to me !!! this is dream tone thats for sure!!!

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

May we know the patch for John's Clean channel on his triaxis? and why he uses two triaxis is it just for back up? Thank you.

beautiful sound!!!

Sounds so epic when he turns on the Boogie pedal haha

Just great now my monitor just melted, thanks John just thanks!

I would absolutely love to have the gear in this vid. That clean sound with the volume pedal at the start makes me feel nostalgic. Wonderful

The symmetry of this rig is the best thing I have ever seen. Tonally and aesthetically pleasing.

his playing is so clean

Man this guy has so much of stuff. It's no point even watching anymore. It just keeps going on and on. And he can pls like crazy.

Beautiful rig. Small and versatile

Legend!

wonderful! very good! amazing!

love that bridge riff from lifting shadows

Thank You!!!!

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.

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

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

"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.

Very best sound I like it David from France

This is how a rig video should be.

yeah wow sounds great

Amazing Rig

Holy shit! John looks so buffed, look at those guns :0!

That's straight up the dream rig right there

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.

Jonh: "Sounds good to me". Holy shit, good isn't even enough to describe the marvel of these sounds!!! This is crazy good!

lol the GREATEST understatement ever said 'sounds good to me' JP.

One of my friends has a rig pretty close to this one and man it sounds good. A rig like this would be the only thing that would probably make me change my Mark IV

God damn John Petrucci is so good.

John Petruci, my fav . ❤🎸

the good old days of rack gear... i love those days....

The best 🙏

I can't stop watching this video, he's too good. Hope to own a JP-2C or a Mark V25 someday, great video!!

brutal !!

Man, nice rig! I'd give my left you know what to have a rig like that.

Petrucci is the only one. Who plays like that, a rig like that, sounds like that. 2thumbs up!

THE MAN! (sent me tone chasing for years, not all mesa's make THAT noise)

Grande John
