JP needs to step in a big pile shhhhhhhaving cream.
be nice and clean...
Shave everyday and you’ll always look keen.
You forgot the beard.
look closer: the second one usually doesn't cut the mids as much and boosting the 240 a tad more to thicken up the tone. One mm can be a lot on those faders...
Since we have JP's amp on the Axe Fx III, i thought why not dedicate a thread on how to achieve his sound. I know there's a lot of other variables that contribute to his polished tone like his guitars, pickups, beard(lol), and of course his fingers that play a big role to his sound. But i know there's a lot of JP fanboys in here like myself that might appreciate some tips or tricks on how to dial in his sound from the Axe Fx.
I'll start by sharing his settings he posted on instagram a while back.

This seems to be the bottom JP2C which is only used as power amp for his stereo sound, i.e. the preamp is unused.
its the beard, all the beard, honestly wish he'd cut off that crumb catching eye sore!!!!!!!!!!You also don't have his fingers and 18" biceps.
Try the Petrucci V30 in the legacy cab bank. It's an IR of his actual setup.
is good idea but some people dont know how to Tone Match,i would love to learn how to tone match the Steve Lukather Paris 1990 tone,"for me that is the best guitar tone ever.For those who want his tone, rather than dink with EQ settings and IRs, why haven't you simply Tone Matched it?

The tone match manual looks quite comprehensive and easy to follow:

Anyone have some isolated clips of JP using the JP2C which might be good for tone matching purposes?
Here ya, go ....
Interesting that room mic is mixed in. Think this would fatten up the tone a bit. How to emulate in the AXE III?
Also, and sorry this is slightly off topic for this thread, when doing a tone match of a recording do you need to accurately play the clip on your guitar or is a bunch of random chords and chugs ok?
Read the Tone Match Mini Manual. Here's a quote:
"A Good Match Requires a Broad Tonal Reference - Whether your reference source is live signal or a recording, it ideally needs to demonstrate the complete sonic range of the source. This is easy to control if you have a guitar in your hands: ten seconds of diverse chording “up the neck” plus some “chugs” and other noises will do more to establish how an amp responds than any amount of high-note soloing in a single key. In fact,don’t play musically; avoiding key centers might give the match more diversity to work with. If you’re using a reference recording, it’s OK to play along to generate the local signal, but you can experiment to achieve different results."
