Forget the low, mid, high, and presence knobs... I want an amp with knobs that read scoopy, chimey, blusey, chunky, and flubby.

Zach Henniner me too. The mark 5 25 video sent me straight to Sweetwater to buy one. I've had the amp for almost a year and I'm still getting the hang of the subtle tones. .

Honestly, the stuff he was playing on the clean channel is what impresses me about him the most. Sure his speed and accuracy is amazing, but to play what he played so clean and flawlessly is extremely difficult

3:26 i love the chords of Hollow Years !!! Petrucci ' s chords are as great as his solos.

i like how people describe sounds: flubby, scooped, chimey, bell-like, powerful, singing, tight, chunky, crunchy, aggressive, narrow, tubular, broad, loose and squishy.

@@metalheadblues Barky metal tones, for sure. I'm trying to get away from the metallic sound, though. Just ordered a Mark V 35 combo, first tube amp ever. I'm hoping I can dial in some sweet, bluesy cleans and a good, barking metal tone.

Isn't that just regular 2000s video ever

Magic. This guy is, IMHO, in the top 5 currently playing. I saw him at a one of the G3 things in Chicago and he's just got "it", whatever "it" is. Not only speed, which is unfortunately one of those things for some folks think is the only thing that matters. His rhythm, tone, knowlege, and technique are what set him apart from all the other "shredders". And his personality is great. He signed autographs till there were no more to sign, and that's a rare thing.

To your point, 10 years later after your comment, he released Terminal Velocity. I saw him touring with Portnoy three weeks ago. He is the best out there musically and technically.

This clean sound is great, its also very good for practise. Many beginners try to run too soon and go for max distortion like the pros, but it hides your mistakes and they will just persist. So I practise in clean and when its right, only then go and kick ass. It will also sound better because your picking will be spot on.

+ 1 on that! I spend 90% of my practice time on channel 1 on my Mark V. It's so articulate, precise and dynamic (not to mention beautiful) that even your tiniest missteps are painfully obvious, and makes you really focus hard on proper technique. Even pick angle makes a huge difference with a sound like that. It has made me a much better player even with heavily distorted tones. Getting a Mark V is the best thing that has ever happened to my technique!

They're two different sets of skills. There are mistakes that a clean channel will gloss over, such as mistakes in muting. Learning to control a distortion channel is a skill of its own. I would recommend practicing distorted licks and riffs on a crunch sound with enough gain that you don't get to hide with the cleans but not enough distortion that you can rely on it to cover up sloppiness.

This is a fine example that it's more about the player than the guitar itself. You can spend so much on equipment, but it ultimately boils down to the person playing it.

This sounds 10x better than any other Mark V demo I've heard...

Most likely because john petrucci is playing on if

He's so down to earth, pedagogic and upright. He would be a great teacher.

I loved clean sound, he´s awesome and very humble!

That clean sound is great. And the crunch is sick. John is Such a nice guy all the time.

John's Mark 1 lead tone put a smile on my face...as usual. Thanks for sharing, guys! Keep up the great work!

I love how John still looks at the neck when he plays. No poseur bullshit.

finally some new vids with JP, greaat! :)

Damn... 13 years ago... I bought my first Mark V the very day these two videos were released. It was kind of sign for me ah ah! Had to sell my first one for a year in 2015 and bought another back in 2016... Still in love with that amp and all the possibilities. With a JP or a Cutlass it's just a killer combo! Thanks Mesa/Boogie!

So from the first few minutes, I see that he wants a nice scooped, rich, full bodied middle sound, not too pointy, not "right here", soft, more chimey. No danger of flubbyness or darkness.

Just got a new Mark V head today...& this video as well as part 2 is a big reason for getting it PLUS I sold my Soldano Hot Rod head to get it. I went into the store twice to try it out & I've been playing it for hours today. Sounds amazing. Cheers John & Mesa! : )

All excellent as always

very informative.. and petrucci always amazes me..

I've started gigging with the V:35 combo and can't wait to try these out live!

Hollow years is my favourite song! I always wanted to know the way he played it, I'm so happy! thanks for uploading!!

Awesome.Thank you Mesa/Boogie!

3:28 ...Heaven :)

This guy is just amazing, not only playing but teaching. Nice amps of course, I'm getting one right now on the road.

JP is so good at what he does and so humble at the same time

I just got my mark V on Monday. I could not be happier.

Really like this Song thanks for sharing your gift.

I just got this amp a few days ago, and it's all because of this man!

Finally i learnt hollow years from this video..thank you john ..you are just a god of guitar.

Even when John improvises a song you know is a guitar God! Such skill perfection from practice experience and inspiration! Amazing!

GLORIOUS clean sound!!

This is one of my favorite finishes of his guitars in the last couple years.

That's amazing John!!!... I love it.

While watching JP playing i found myself singing the song.. You are great dude, great..

dude that tone is just... awesome!

Thank you John nice job and this class!!!!

he is always so happy.

"Animate Inanimate" by John Petrucci - song used in the intro and outro of part 2

1:22 "it is great for, whatever I just mentioned" 😂😂 Gotta love John Petrucci!!

They have this exact setup at my local shop, and I love it. I have come to know the owners very well, and they will let me fool around with it afterhours. It is a tweakers dream come true. If you can't get the tone that is in your head to come out of the speakers, then you don't really know what your really after. And if you don't know what your after, this head will help you find it. I get lost in time when I get into dialing in my sound. Two hours will pass and I don't even realize it. Nice

I listened to this demo and went out and bought one...killer amp, fair price, and outstanding tone for my money. There are plenty of higher end amps. I believe the very best amp in the world in the one YOU like the best. John, imo, is one of the top ten players world wide.

I've got myself one of these and thats it no more searching for tone. Mesa Boogie are the best if thats not to a narrow minded thing to say. I've still got a lot of learning to do regarding getting different sounds as there is so much available here. In a few words though.. WHAT AN AMAZING AMPLIFIER!!! Also great to watch J.P demonstrate and discuss.. An awesome guy!!

thank you for posting

the clean tone he use for Hollow years intro is wonderfull.

incredibley informative, and really cool!

beautiful clean sound

Best clean sound I ever heard.

Thank you infinitely for your help ! ;)

I like mesa's because I think they are kind of classy sounding. It really brings out the subtleties in kore intricate or complex playing styles, instead of just that full on "heavy metal" high mid saturated or dark sound a lot of metal players sound like to me, kind of surreal and such.

So true. There's such a world of difference between being merely playing the right notes at the right times and carefully carving the soundscape you want.

Dang that sounds fantastic.

Thank you for sharing this.....

Lovely to hear Hollow Years 🤘🏽

awesome clean tone

Owned a Mark V for a few years, but only just now watched this. I thought it was kind of neat to see how many similar setting I use to him, like independent conformation, haha.

Im so getting this one

Amazing guitarist - amazing amp

wish u all the best

It is great to hear people talking about tone. I have to agree with the persone who mentioned that tone starts with your fingers. When I went to MI there was a guy there who play through the crappiest amps you ever heard but he could may them sing.

Hypnotizing, tones.

He's such a nice guy. A true class act. Mesa/Boogie ftw!

that pretty good head movement at 10:00 is just awesome

It would be great if John did a Settings and tone tips for the Mark v 25.

Videos like this make me want to swap out my Single Rectifier for a Mark V once I can afford it. Even though I love my Rec this just has so much more versatility, and the gained up tones sound much tighter.

that clean sound!!

So that's how he plays Hollow Years

How could u dislike this jealous much !!!!!!!

Thanks Mesa!

Most beautiful guitar paintings of all times

You are really the greatest guitarist in the world. You make the guitar speak!!!!

Great lesson...he is a great guitar player

페트루치형 너무 고마워요 ㅜㅜ 나중에 꼭 술 한잔 살께요!!

amazing

great video. I have to have this amp!!

Petrucci is the best. Amazing.

It has an excellent in built reverb that you can set up for each channel.

what i dont understand is this: i dialed in a very very similair sound to his mark v with my mesa dual rectifier, but when i record it i cant seem to get the sound he gets?? i even edited quite a bit. maybe im not placing mics properly?? i tried a few different micing ideas. Can anyone help please????

The Amazing John Petrucci

@Schecter725 9:30 is from a piece called Gemini, great bit of music.

@PositivelyInsane He's using the humbuckers in split coil mode. The bottom switch is in the middle position(coil split) and the top switch is in the bottom position which means the piezo is inactive and only the magnetics are engaged. If you listen closely to the Hollow Years demo he bumps the magnetic selector switch when he first starts strumming which changes it to the bridge pickup for the second chord before he switches back to split coils for the third strummed chord.

John Petrucci is the coolest nerd in the history of music! :-)

Nice final once live a time petrucci solo...miss that solo and his old guitar and his old skill....

My guitar teacher has the mark iv, he said it's the best amp he's ever owned. And now I see that Petrucci uses a Mark V! I think I'm getting a Mesa for my next amp...

@JeuneGen I highly recommend TC Electronics effects processors. Specifically the G-System. The TC Electronics G-System will give you complete control over your rig and any other pedals you may want to integrate without changing the core of your amps sound. It also handles the switching for you of the channels (you may need an amp gizmo to interface with the Mark V to change amp channels, not sure because I own a Dual Rectifier 3-channel model and it does). Hope this helps

6:49 sounds like Illumination Theory

First song in the intro is from his solo album Suspended Animation. Song is Animate-Inanimate

So THAT's the hand positioning for Hollow years! Nice. Great tone too.

what else can be said? john petrucci is awesome!!!!!

I love John’s style when he’s improvising arpeggios and he has such a vast knowledge of different chord shapes and progressions. Is there any way someone could steer me towards a particular book I can buy to try to learn that sort of chord progression/arpeggios shapes?

that was great

very nice

@bebo7002 The very first song during the intro of the video is called Animate Inanimate off of his solo album.. and the first example he plays has its name on the screen for a bit

When you're about to click off but you realize John Petrucci is giving YOU advice on guitar and you must respect and stay on the video until it's over

Aaaaand no one noticed another sneak peek of Gemini from the new album, played 10 years before its release ??? 9:30
