Resurrecting the thread! I own one, and a Mark V. I had a 5150ii with a recto 4x12 prior to downsizing to the 3 ( i wanted a small more portable head to move to practice) I also downsized from the 4x12 to a mesa openback widebody w/c90 (and a vertical 2x12, which is normally paired with...

Sounds good, a little more raw/less processed than the album... Any chance you can isolate your guitar, maybe fade the background in and out?

Do you know if the line out on the Tc50 is the same as the slave out on the jp 2c and mark v?

Cool, sound interesting. Not to derail the thread, but what does your wet dry wet setup consist of?

IMO, if mesa was to put out a JH head, it would probably be better as a JP2c styled, multi channel and options, just so they can keep the price up, and not canabalize other amp sales. They always offer too many options on their amps, so it would make sense to keep with that and say here is a...

Thanks dlpasco. I find as of late, i dont use much of ch 1, i usually just roll the volume down for a clean sound (actually prefer it most of the time) Ch 2 of the V, i have never been able to fully enjoy. I wanted edge to be a jangly / voxy / light breakup crunch, but there is some odd fuzzy...

Front panel reminds me of the Mesa home is tone logo. I call it the eagle

yeah, definately not any standard amp mesa offers. any speculation as to what the "extra" knobs are for (maybe that volume 1)? anyone find any other videos with that amp in it?

I can side track my own thread right? Personally, the idea of a JH2C sounds good, but I'd rather see a Mark V update (call is Vb, V+, 6, doesn't matter) and add all of the coolness / simplicity from the JP model, and 25/35 watters. 3 channels, 2 assignable 5 bands, midi, cab clone, 3 reverbs...

Those who have experience with the V and jp, can you try to answer this? I find the V in 45/90 watt mode to have a very pronounced mid hump at lower volumes, and at higher ones I wear ear plugs so I don't really know is it's there. As of late I run Variac'd, 10 watt, triode, 2c+, el34 with...

At the end of the day, I know I'll sound like me.. My 51503 and mark 5 are, I'd say, two very different amps, but when I play a high gain sound I get a very similar sound. Now I do believe that there is a magic piece that the hands play, but it's not going be as big an effect as amps and...

Any one try to get mid 90s petrucci styled tones from the jp2c? I'm thinking live at the marquee and the awake album/ tour. Specially the rhythm crunch sound, it used to be more open sounding. Just wondering if the amp can get the catalog of tones or is more suited to the last few albums...

Legend has it that the same MOP / Justice era crunch berries amp was the main go to for Death Magnetic.. so theoretically you would want an amp that could sound like that... you just need an engineer and producer that give a ****... and a mix / master guy who doesnt put the levels to max...

I don't imagine a jh2c, petrucci has played c+ for almost 30 years, with other meds products being the exception. Hetfield started with Marshalls, then used the ç with Marshalls, and ventured out to wizard Diesel's and others.. So giving him asig head seams not likely... But... I could see...

So regarding the video, its cool to see JP go over the features and why it is setup the way it is. I do wish he would have backed off of the effects, like delay, so we could hear the amp dry.. but im sure the new few mesa videos will take care of that. Regarding the actual design of the amp...
