ToneClone - John Petrucci #1 (fw17.00 + Cab Pack 7)

[Vitor Mancini]

:shock:shock

Sound f***in spot on to me!!

This makes me wanna listen to SFAM. The best guitar tones in JPs career!!

Thank you sir! =)
SFAM is an AMAZING album for sure!

 

[Vitor Mancini]

I was working on it too (The Reaction one, love that tune).
But you have done such an incredible job copying these Mesa tones that I'll probably wait for your patches.


Superb playing too (I've seen some of your youtube videos):shock!

That's EXACTALY the song I'm doing the preset! =) that "live" version he recorded before he released the album, playing that Ibanez Premium through a Mesa Mark V!
I'm in the middle of the process, so yes, wait for it, you will get it soon!
And thanks for the kind words =)

 

[mesaboogieman]

That was spot on! Sounded fantastic!!! :encouragement::encouragement::mrgreen

UPDATE

Marco Sfogli's The Reaction tone is done! =)
Teaser today yet?!

Fine tuning On The Backs Of Angels and About To Crash.. any other requests?

How about Sfogli The Forest lead tone?

After that long intro when he starts to play, it´s just so tasty tone!

EDIT: I think it has perfect liquidity and smoothness and still got great harmonics. Kick ass tone!

This is similar to The Reaction's tone.. just little bit smoother.. maybe just try another IR and it will sound perfect =)
And actually I'd say I know a perfect combination for that smooth tone

 

[Vitor Mancini]

Great tones. It sure helps that you're dead tight in your playing too.

TLG Intro sounded like a cool mix of JP and Vai. Very cool sound way to hit the strings

Thank you so much! What a compliment!! =)

I did some testing today but got only bad results. I just don´t have ears for tone matching
Pack7 is so good that you can´t even skip any tones, so it takes time It´s good pack if you need great tone fast, you will get it with any IR there is. But when you start to browse them, you will be lost in your dreams and wake up with wet pants
And my goal is to get these tones good enough to play with PRS/ PRS SE guitars now. So the pups are a bit challenge here...
EDIT: Pups are good, but different

I know what you feel..
I just explained to mr. Clark Kent my process to reach these tones.. an all I can say is that it takes DAYS and it burns the brain.. seriously..
Actually I just opened Pro Tools and saw that there's 1 HOUR AND 12 MINUTES of THE SAME RIFF recorded.. that's all the combinations and tests I did to reach the Beyond This Life tone.. but I can't think there's a way to be any closer then that! =)

UPDATE

I've already recorded the ToneClone for Marco Sfogli's The Reaction.. shall I post it or is it going to be too much of spam?

HAHA!
If people think it is spam, they can read other topics
Nothing is too much when you have good tones!

Before I even started to read the second sentence above, I thought, "He should base the preset on the tone from the Ibanez Premium/Mesa Mark V version of the song, and not the one from the album." I'm glad you were able to read my mind even before I thought it.:lol Not only the tone, I prefer that version of the song to the album's as well (probably because I watched that clip about a million times before the album came out).

Kind of the wrong thing to be posting on here, being that the album version was done with the Axe-FX II. :mrgreen



Anyway, I listened back & forth between your "Beyond This Life" clip and the album version on YT and, on my computer speakers at least, the tones were indistinguishable. Completely spot-on, great job. :encouragement:

Yes pls share it - I don't mind if you call it spam - I'm sure it's good...

Well, who said that only mr. Clark has some special superpowers?! hahaha

Half of that plays are mine! hahaha

Thank you sir! =)

 

[Lechu]

Preset!! Preset!!

 

[katsumura78]

Looking forward to checking out these presets! So far the stuff posted sounds awesome!

 

[Vitor Mancini]

The tone is something , but your playing is even more

Thank you sir! =)

 

[D20]

Very good JP tones, good work!
Will check the preset for sure if you share it.

Anyone got any Marco Sfogli tones with this cab pack?
He has very smooth and creamy lead tones and very close to JP style.

I'd love to hear some Marco tones from ‎Elements of Persuasion

Agreed. I'd love to hear someone's take on his rhythm tone. My favorite rhythm tone of all time.

BTW... I'm loving this thread. Tones sound phenomenal as does the playing. These are all the songs I play to and have presets for as well so I'm looking forward to checking them out.

I have a suggestion... Can anyone attempt to nail JP's solo tone on Suspended Animation? I've had horrible luck attempting to emulate it with the Axe. I believe John used the Roadking (recto) on that album and used the orange channel in vintage mode. Nothing in the Axe seems to nail it. I can't seem to get enough gain without upping the input trim which I hate touching.

Leave it to me
I'm working on it too hahaha
Seriously, if you talk JP, you talk with me! HAHAHA Best slogan EVER!
