Mesa Boogie JP-2C Head with Footswitch and Cover

The Mesa Boogie JP-2C: A High-Gain Legend

Unleash the Power of the Iconic IIC+

The Mesa Boogie JP-2C pays tribute to a three-decade collaboration between Mesa and legendary guitarist John Petrucci of Dream Theater. This unlimited-build signature amplifier is a modern reissue of the coveted Mark IIC+ and is packed with exclusive features tailored to Petrucci's tone and performance demands. Combining three dedicated IIC+ channels, advanced functionality, and meticulous craftsmanship, the JP-2C delivers unparalleled versatility and tonal mastery for guitarists seeking both precision and power.

Channel 1: Pristine Cleans

Channel 1 is designed for maximum headroom and crystal-clear tones, perfect for clean passages or dynamic rhythmic playing. The preamp section ensures pristine cleans at any volume, while the powerful MID control adds a range of boosted mid frequencies for added tonal depth. Whether you're dialing in subtle textures or bold, clean tones, Channel 1 sets the foundation for sonic excellence.

Channel 2: Aggressive Crunch

Channel 2 reimagines the IIC+ Lead circuit for tight, high-gain crunch tones. Optimized for rhythm applications, this channel produces articulate, grinding distortion with enough flexibility to serve as a second lead channel. Equipped with its own dedicated graphic EQ, Channel 2 allows you to craft your perfect rhythm tone while retaining the unmistakable character of the original IIC+.

Channel 3: Soaring Leads

Channel 3 is the ultimate high-gain lead channel, delivering explosive attack, smooth sustain, and rich harmonic complexity. With added compression and warmth, it provides a forgiving yet dynamic response for fluid soloing. The new SHRED mode enhances harmonic layering and aggression, making Channel 3 a powerhouse for modern lead tones.

Advanced Features for Professional Performance

The JP-2C offers unmatched versatility with dual 5-band graphic EQs, a MIDI-programmable interface, and a built-in CabClone™ cabinet simulator for direct recording and live DI. Additional features like the fully buffered tube FX loop, channel-independent reverb, and 100/60-watt power switching make it adaptable to any stage or studio environment.
