Fractal Audio welcomes John Petrucci

Sooooo, does he use the gain options? Maybe Fractal can ask him for his patches? cmon now.

Only the effects in the live rig he was running, this straight from his guitar tech (he posted it on the JP board a while back).

Now what JP does on his own time.......I'm sure he's at least checked it out!!

Hi, just been looking at D.T on the Roadrunner video in search of a new drummer, you con see JP'S rig with the Axe in it. You can also see as he is playing the signal going through the axe. Also in part 3 if you look at the mixing desk you can see one of the channels is marked as Fractal.
 
Fractal Audio welcomes John Petrucci to the roster artists using the Axe-Fx.

John is best known as the guitarist and founding member of the band Dream Theater. He is also the band's producer and main lyricist as well as an original member of the acclaimed Liquid Tension Experiment with Tony Levin. John is also a solo artist and a long standing veteran of Joe Satriani's prestigious G3 tours along with Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Paul Gilbert, and others.

We met John last summer when Dream Theater and Zappa Plays Zappa toured together under the ProgNation banner. As was scooped here in a "sightings" thread, John added an Axe-Fx Ultra to his stage rig and his backstage rig for Dream Theater's South American tour earlier this year. We've worked closely together both in person and virtually, using Axe-Edit.

John told us, “The Axe-Fx has completely and forever changed the way I look at guitar processing. This box does an incredible number of things astonishingly well.”

Hmmm... Just like you, John :)

Yippie ya ya yay
 
If you're just playing at home and Petrucci is your ideal tone, scrap a tube amp all together. Save some cash and look into simulation software on your computer (be it GuitarRig or something similar) and a low-latency interface. I'm personally not a big user of them, but it sounds like you're an ideal candidate for one. JP doesn't have a very low-maintenance setup and it would be difficult to find a stock amp that achieves his tone without a lot of extra garnishments bolted onto it. Tube amps are great but they are tragically wasted (and unnecessary) at low volume.

If you’re new here, take a look at the forum name, and realize that most of us already have a wonderful option that doesn’t involve a tube amp. :)
