Overview

If you play electric guitar, chances are you've heard of John Petrucci and Dream Theater. You may even know of Mesa's 30-year relationship building many of his favorite amplifiers -- the very same amplifiers you might have chosen for your sound. This distinguished list includes the MARK IIC+, Dual Rectifier, TriAxis, MARK IV, and MARK V to name a few. In celebration of John's talent, his life-long dedication to Mesa's shared art, and the long relationship Mesa/Boogie has enjoyed with him, the JP-2C is an unlimited-build Mesa Signature Amplifier.

And yes, it's a MARK IIC+! A next generation re-issue of the legendary amp so many Recording Artists, MESA enthusiasts and tone freaks the world over covet, often searching high and low to find. Only THIS IIC+ pulls in an enhanced feature set born from Mesa's collaboration with John over a period of three decades of research and development.
