90% there...

The two open slots are for a Korg DTR-1 and a custom midi switcher for my Mark IV.

Man, sweet rig there Petrucci !!!!

I gotta get me some of that.

What TC unit is that?

G*Major. The Alesis is a backup for the T.C. - in the event that it ever goes down at a show.

Now if I had Petrucci's chops, I'd be set!

Awesome set!

Wow, you really scoop out those highs...

Any relations to Savage Animal?



:roll: :lol:

nice! i am trying to do the same thing w/ my mark iv. anyone got a rackmount kit they want to get rid of?

NO offense, but to me the coolest thing on that rig is that emblem THAT THING IS SWEET LOOKING! I also like the rack mounted mark, that too is very cool man, congrats on that!

nope, no relation to savage animal. That's my band's logo.

I prefer to think of the high on my amp as warm. IMO, most people run the highs on the Mark amps WAY to high. That tone is unplesant to my ears. I like a nice round top end. here's what it sounds like:

Mesa/Boogie Mark IV Clips:
R2 rock Crunch 1
R2 Rock Crunch 2
R2 Rock Crunch 3

Lead Rock Tones
Lead Metal Tone
Lead Rock Wankage

I think I like Savage Evolution better than Savage Garden....

Nice tones you are getting. I have listened to your clips before. Just how much are you adding to the Mark IV by means of TCE? I have been considering a G-system myself.

I think that I would screw that emblem to the outside of the case and put a Recto pre and a 2:100 in there along with a good switch. I would lose the Alesis and still get the DTR-1 or get an external power supply. I heard that there is a better solution that sits outside a rack that is better protection than Furman's rackmounted power conditioners.

I use the T.C. for delay and chorus mainly. On rare ocation, I'll use some verb, but in general I don't like to use reverb. It works very well with the Mark IV. The logo is on a three space rack drawer. Which replaced my tool box for storing extra strings, picks, spare tubes and other junk.

The Midiverb will eventually come out. I plan on putting a Triaxis and a 2:90 in the rack as well. However, at the moment, I'm very content with the components in there.

That is nearly exact to how I run my graphic. I run the bass to the just below the top line though. Smooth like butta.

interestingly enough, if you look at how petrucci sets the EQ on his mark iv, its really close to that.

^owww, that hurts the back just looking at it... :lol:

Let's see, If that was a store, I'd take everything labeled "Mesa" hahahaha

I am guessing that instead of a lame overdrive pedal he opts to just use another amp that is turned up a little louder? I don't see any real pedals on his pedalboard other than his expression pedals and footcontroller. Unless he is using a multifx for his clean boost?

Could you post your settings for the lead metal tone clip?

sounds cool.

I think some people's rigs are ridiculous....

SFW, just out of curiosity, is that rack case made by OSP ? I was thinking of getting one of their cases from Ebay but I wasnt sure of the quality because it was pretty cheap

Why is my rig "ridiculous"? Everything in the rack gets used at every gig I play. I just chose to rack it all, because it's easier to transport.


Yes, the case is an OSP. I have been very impressed with it.


My settings are:

Hey SFW do you also switch your channels through midi? If you do with what?
