Hi - I'm not sure if this is the right place to post questions like this. I'm looking to reproduce JP's tone in the intro of Dark Eternal Night on my Mark IV. Could anyone assist with settings?

Thanks,
Mark
 
I believe JP used a overdrive pedal in front of his Mark IV. That would be the only way to get that much distortion on that head.


He also used two different Mark IVs.

I found it on his website. http://www.johnpetrucci.com/gear2.htm

Here is a link of his rig.

I've seen the same graphic. I'm not sure those are as recent as Systematic Chaos. I was thinking of getting a Maxon OD808.
 
A Maxon 808 is a great pedal. You can keep the overdrive off but max out the level to boost your signal on your guitar. It gives a subtle boost to the amp without coloring the tone at all.
