Mesa and Petrucci Bring You the Return of the IIC+

The Mesa John Petrucci Signature JP-2C tube electric guitar amplifier head gives you all of the tonal variety and power of a Mark IIC+ with powerful additions specified by John. It's a celebration of John and Mesa's 30-year relationship and is based on one of Mesa's fan-favorites. And the JP-2C features additions like dual footswitchable 5-band EQs and a CabClone output, making it an even more powerful animal. The Mesa/Boogie JP-2C Mark IIC+ brings back a legendary amplifier design with new powerful additions.

Mesa/Boogie JP-2C Mark IIC+ Tube Electric Guitar Amplifier Head at a Glance:
  • A Hard-rocking History
  • Sonic versatility
  • Amp adjusts to your needs
A Hard-rocking History

John Petrucci has been using Mesa/Boogies tube amplifiers since the very early days of Dream Theater, and the JP-2C is a celebration of those three decades. The amp is based on Mesa's highly sought after Mark IIC+ that was the identifiable sound of John's guitar for many of those years. It has also been used by other well-known hard rock acts, as well as session musicians who have come to rely on the amps' liquidy overdriven tone. Sweetwater is extremely happy to offer these amps and be part of the legacy.

Sonic versatility

The original Mark IIC+ amps were beloved for their high-gain sound and clear cleans. Both of those sounds are very much on display in the JP-2C. But the amp's three completely independent channels with five modes each let you dial in any shade of tone from mild crunch to over the top, from warm and round to aggressive and cutting. And the onboard 5-band equalizers let you further sculpt your tone to taste. And even with all of this control, the layout is done to make pulling up your favorite sounds intuitive and fast.

Amp adjusts to your needs

The original Mark IIC+ amps were just the springboard for John Petrucci when designing the JP-2C. John also included features like a CabClone speaker-emulated line output, 60- and 100-watt operation, and MIDI programmability to make the amplifier even more versatile, and a great tool for the recording and touring guitarist. Dual 5-band equalizers are footswitchable to get three distinct sounds for each channel at the tap of a toe. And the included footswitch also controls reverb, channel switching, and much more.

Mesa/Boogie JP-2C Mark IIC+ Tube Electric Guitar Amplifier Head Features:

  • Three fully independent channels

Mesa best amp today

This is Mesa best amp since the Mark IV. Massive transformer and the feel is amazing. The eq is very touchy which means there is a ton of room for tweaking and tonal perfection. Get to know how the amp works then dial it. Thank me later.
Music background: 20+ years
Rated 5/5

Fun as Heck

Once you dial it in you realize Its a quality piece of gear, I did research on it before I bought it and knew ahead that it gets bass heavy, so
did the proper EQ and got my hum bucker axe and wahLah, Its a keeper and has many tones from clean to pushed clean through Metal.
I love this pig and will be keeping this one, play mostly Modern Rock/Metal but love going down memory lane for some dirty 70's rock and blues.
Recommend this 100% for quality and Fun as Heck!

Ps, thanks to my sales Engineer Ashton for the Hookup as always..!

Great amp better customer service

Bought this amp around a month ago. Thought there was an issue with it and Sweetwater sent me a new one next day Saturday air at no charge and a shipping label to return the original amp. You know next day Saturday on a 35 pound item isn't cheap and they ate the cost. Long story short both amps worked fine and I returned the new one without an issue. Best customer service I've received in this industry ever maybe. If your herr to read about the amp this beast does everything they say. If your looking for that Petrucci tone just set the dials according to the instruction manual and your there minus the delay and chorus.

The question was: BUY IT AGAIN?

The BEST

I was skeptical about a reissue amp. But man am I blown away by this tone sculpting masterpiece!!! And John's contribution to the added features especially with EQs per channel is just amazing!! By far the most versatile and articulate amp I have ever played. And I have several high end heads.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Timothy VanSlyke

This has been my number one amp since it came out in 2016. I have used it to record many albums ranging from jazz fusion to death metal and it has never disappointed me or made me second guess my choice in amplifier. This amp gives me all the flexibility I have ever needed for both live and the studio and I look forward to many more years with it.

It's hard to imagine a more quintessentially modern guitar amplifier than a Mesa/Boogie, and when Sweetwater guitarists want high-gain tone, Mesa is where they start. One thing we love about these amps is their sheer versatility, such as the massive range of tone you get from each channel, the freedom to use the tubes you love, onboard CabClone cabinet emulation, and MIDI control. And it's not just guitar amps - Mesa/Boogie's bass amps and pedals are equally cool. What's more, thanks to our incredibly close relationship with Mesa, you can even customize your own amp right here on Sweetwater's website! Get the sound and style you want from your next amp, with a Mesa/Boogie from Sweetwater.
