The JP-2C 100W guitar tube head from MESA/Boogie is the signature head from Dream Theater's John Petrucci. Also a reissue of the legendary Mark IIC+, the JP-2C is a next-generation version of the classic amp head with an enhanced features set that is the result of three decades of collaboration between MESA/Boogie and John Petrucci. The JP-2C is stripped down to the bare essentials with a focus on efficiency. It's a purpose-built, no-compromise rendering that aims to deliver the most aggressive, purest-sounding IIC+ ever in a versatile package. Featuring the highest headroom clean sound possible, a crunch rhythm with Lead Channel gain available and a Boogie Lead Channel with access to even more saturation, the JP-2C offers the versatility modern players require. 

This three-channel head foregoes the concept of multiple voicing modes, and instead dedicates each of the three channels exclusively to circuit voicing's of the Mark IIC+, plus Shred Mode, which enhances the top-end harmonic layering of the original Lead Circuit even further. Channel 1 is dedicated to clean tones and is optimized for the maximum headroom possible in the preamp section. Channel 2 is the JP-2C's crunch generator and an evolution of the original Mark IIC+ Circuit with a focus on aggressive, tight overdriven rhythm sounds. Channel 3 is created for soaring lead sounds, high-gain sustain and explosive attack. In both Channels 2 and 3, the Volume 1 Control and Lead Master Control have been removed in favor of simplicity.

    I've wanted the JP-2C ever since it came out, and I am not disappointed! This thing is a beast. The cleans are pristine and the high gains are incredibly tight and edgy. I can't believe how powerful the 5-band EQ's are. You can literally reshape your sound with just the slightest adjustment, which is incredible. I also have the TC-100, which I love. I'd say the TC may be slightly more versatile in the high gain and crunch sounds it provides, but if you want the Petrucci high gain sound, nothing beats the JP-2C!
