    The Making of Petrucci's Rack

    hey guys
    we all know John Petrucci of Dream Theater. he's one of my favorite guitarists, and certainly at the top of his genre.
    anyways, he is known to play absolutly MASSIVE racks, with mesa/boogies and lots of other good stuff.
    in DT's latest album, Train of Thought, he started using Mesa Roadkings (he used to use souped up Mark II's). so now he needed a new rack for the DT tour

    the guy who builds these monsters for him is Mark Snyder, with whom Petrucci has been working since the early days of DT. this guy knows his stuff.
    so, i'll shut up now and let you watch

        Wow, that was pretty cool. I imagine that if I had a rig like that, I would be doing solo gigs because with a rig that size, the rest of my band wouldn't fit on stage with me.

        I enjoyed seeing it though.

          That was about as exciting as watching paint dry. Mark may know his stuff but he's not very dynamic in front of a camera, is he? For all the good info those movies offer, it could have easiy been edited down into a couple minutes of useful info.

          As for the rack, geez. Talk about complicated.

              LOL, the thing he did at the beginning of the 1st vid looks like he's humping the amp

                That was very fun to watch. Thanks for that, I'm also a huge fan of Petrucci and it was cool seeing exactly how they wanted every bit of their tone to sound.

                  the sound is nothing ground shattering.. i kind of expected more out of the huge thing.. maybe if he did a session with all the sounds with better quality..

                  dont mean to diss or put anyone down.. but i got this amp sound in my head that i cannot describe othervise than that it's godlike. the amp to be and end all... sadly, i've never heard anything that i'd say this is musical orgasm >.<

                      Rack setups are usually designed to reproduce the sounds you hear on an album, but no matter how well constructed they are, studio sound will almost always sound better.

                      It's just the nature of the beast.
