John Petrucci - Mark V demo

[Ola Englund]

Damn those chugs on "Pull me under" sound great... And the Mark V is only 3000€ on Thomann! Whee...

Fama lets split the cost... you can take channel 1 and 2. I'll take the rest..

Wow, while every other aspect of his rhythm tone was on point, did anyone else think that it was woofy as all hell on the bottom end, especially when he started chunkin' 'Pull Me Under' (only down to Eb nonetheless)? :zombie:

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Reallllllllly makes me think about selling my IV to get a V.

don't do it, unless you need ultra versatility (and the MKIV is realy versatile already)

Everyone has its own taste for the sound and John's tone in this vid is amazing!

 

[Let it burn...]

I never noticed how much his sound is based on that typical hotrodded Marshall sound

I think it's a lot tighter than a typical hot rodded marshall though (not that I've heard an awful lot of examples but still...). I really like the tone although it has a sort of weird-ish processed quality to it, I still think it works great.

just like anything else in tone a big part of it is how it sounds in the context of the live show and the recorded production/mix...


i've always been a fan of all his album tones. listen to train of thought (rectos) that album rips.

I guess, but his love for the low end huff explains a good bit on why Myung is Murderfaced a lot of the time in D.T. mixes.
