Fw18... news?

[dr bonkers]

Now I'm going to have to go out & buy my first Dream Theater album just as a small thank you to Mr Petrucci for his generosity.

 

[Tuco]

Mr. Petrucci is going to lend us one.

I don't play with the kind of tone produced by this particular amp, but this kind of community-minded sharing is beyond awesome. I'm so glad I'm part of this.

The sound that we associate with JP's tone is based off of what we hear on youtube and on mp3's (or CD's, or vinyl, whatever). So we wouldn't know any better if the tone we match to an MP3 is any different than the real thing anyway. I understand your point - a tone match is all relative to what the 'reference' tone is.

I appreciate playing devil's advocate, but I think this is stupid.

Nice to hear now please make code for DEEP PULL switch ,its so important thing for IIC+ it will give unique character for that amp. And also other extra switch:es would be nice to see ,but that DEEP PULL switch is important IMO.

Some guys are having a DEEP PULL just thinking about this

If he does, *** don't count on him making that public. Seems he has a very good relationship / endorsement deal with Mesa. I don't see him throwing that away any day soon.

The only thing better than having a legit G3 IIC+ model in the AFX is having a legit G3 model of one of JP's Personal IIC+'s in the AFX. Major win. This is why you guys have fanatically loyal customers.

Cliff - any other amps we should put an "All Points Bulletin" out on ?

How about we get Setzer to send Cliff his early 60's Blonde Fender Bassman.

This.

AWESOME!!!

G3 = accurate amp sim
+
tonematch = match the exact CAB that JP used in that track
=
exact JP IIC+ tone

You forgot the second half of the equation. (...exactJP IIC+ tone) - talent - fingers - neural system - experience = still sounds like you or me.

 

[dpavel]

Unbelievable , John Petrucci's personal Mk II+ will be modeled for us , I am proud to be an AxeFx user

 

[Karl Houseknecht]

*** "or has already"

Right. I've heard anecdotal accounts that he's been using the amp models too. Maybe for the FOH send.

I've got a great one too but can't bear the thought of shipping her off to be probed by aliens

yes yes, I actually typed that but deleted it because I didn't want to get into the discussion. you also forgot the FRFR you're using, the room youre sitting in, etc. as well. it never stops.

The point is, modeling JP's EXACT IIC+ is the closest any of us will ever get to JP's tone. Are you guys really so dense that you can't understand what I'm trying to say? Or does everyone just like playing devil's advocate in order to puff out their chest and show their 'vast knowledge'. Use some common sense

if i had any common sense I wouldn't have tried to make a living with my guitar for 40 years!

Petrucci si the man of the hour!

 

[mnemonic]

I would have been a bit bummed if Cliff wasn't able to get ahold of a IIc+ that sounded as good or better than the one already in the Axe, as I understand they can vary a lot. But if its one of Petrucci's IIc+'s, I guess that won't be an issue. if anyone knows the IIc+ its him, and I can't see him buying one that doesn't sound great.

Hopefully he sends one of his favorites.
