MESA/Boogie JP-2C 100W Tube Guitar Amp Head Black

Description

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.
