Mesa Boogie Tone Summit with John Petrucci

Join us for an amazing Tone Summit event on Monday November 14th at 7pm as John Petrucci takes the stage at The Guitar Sanctuary to share the story behind the development of the MESA/Boogie® JP-2C™ and discuss the essential elements that guitarists of all levels can use in crafting perfect Tone.

PETALUMA, CA (October 28, 2016) – MESA/Boogie® is excited to announce that world-renowned guitarist John Petrucci will host a Tone Summit on Monday, November 14th at 7:00 PM at The Guitar Sanctuary in McKinney, Texas. The Tone Summit will give guitarists an opportunity to learn more about John Petrucci, the JP-2C™ concept and his collaboration with MESA’s design team as they set out to infuse the famed MARK IIC+™ design with added flexibility and modern features.

This Special Event is limited to the first 300 registered attendees.

“For several decades, I’ve spent countless hours in search of perfect tone, and digging into every single detail of an amplifier feature that impacts guitar tone. I’ve found that this journey and the discoveries I’ve made, most certainly run parallel to the path each and every guitarist will take at some point. The Tone Summit is about sharing some of this knowledge as we all have such a great opportunity to learn from one another. As a huge fan of the MESA/Boogie Mark IIC+, its tone certainly plays a key role in my story…you can hear it on almost every album I’ve ever made! So the IIC+ and ultimately the JP-2C tone range reflect where this journey has taken me…I’m excited to share some of our story with guitarists.” said John Petrucci.

“John embodies all that defines a truly dedicated artist. Working with John for over 30 years, MESA® amplifiers have been the heart of his guitar tone even before his rise to worldwide acclaim with Dream Theater. Over the years, John hinted at collaborating to design a MARK amplifier with features unlike any before it, based on the IIC+ circuit. So the recent release of our JP-2C is the culmination of both MESA’s and John’s IIC+ tone fantasies. The development process with John is an amazing story that lead to the inspiration for a next generation, re-issue of the legendary amp so many recording artists and MESA enthusiasts the world over covet! We think guitarists of all levels will find the Tone Summit engaging and inspirational” said Doug West, 34 year veteran and point man in R&D and Marketing at MESA/Boogie.
