Introduction (...and a bit of History):
If you know MESA/Boogie, you probably know that, aside from our one-time Limited run of the Carlos Santana King Snake Tribute
model to commemorate our first amplifier, we’ve never done Signature amplifiers or Artist models.
That’s not to say we don’t value the LONG list of Stars that have continued to make musical history with our instruments over the
last four decades… we DO! You may have seen many of the world’s most influential guitarists in our Ads and Videos over the years.
Those were all our stock amplifiers… the same one you may own. Born from our ideas combined with requests from players just like
you and built to our uncompromising specs.
We’ve always believed it better to create something magic that will work, and provide inspiration for, nearly everyone… Like a really
great tool set that can endlessly adapt. That way, each Artist–famous or not–can use it in ways all their own to create a unique and
identifiable voice. Plus, we just aren’t up for dealing with Managers and the business that comes with endorsement deals and that
has caused us to shy away from the whole idea of Signature or Artist models.
Also, time has shown that a great sounding and versatile instrument can last for decades and outlive the fleeting fame of an individual
Artist and even whole musical genres. This was the case with our MARK IIC+, Dual Rectifiers, TriAxis, Mark IV and Bass 400+ to
name a few. At that point you have an Icon. A Classic. We strive to build Classics… Products that stand the test of time and tran-
scend careers in the turbulent music business.
However, if you play electric guitar, and especially if you’ve now purchased this amplifier, chances are you’ve heard of John Petrucci
and Dream Theater. You may even know of our 30 Year relationship building his amplifiers–again, the very same amplifiers you might
have chosen for your sound.
John exemplifies to us all that defines a true and dedicated Artist. His uncompromising belief in his vision, his goals and what it
takes to achieve them. His never-ending search for excellence in both his playing and his sound. His integrity and his endearing,
unaffected-by-stardom humility over the decades. His friendship and the feeling of brotherhood we share with him in our common
interests and desire to create something of lasting value… something to be proud of far into the future. To put it simply; His Integrity,
Passion and Love Of Great Tone.
For all these reasons and many more, we’re breaking the mold here at MESA and celebrating his talent, his life-long dedication to
his art–and ours–and the long relationship we’ve enjoyed with John and are proud to introduce a MESA first; The JP-2C. Our first
unlimited-build Signature Amplifier.
More Incredible Tone, More Features, Simpler to Use, More Control over the Channels and Modes, Midi Channel and Feature Ac-

attack and focused voice, tighter low end, more liquid gain, more complex layered harmonics and possess the very essence of the
burning, ripping, shredding, soaring voice that IS the II-C+.
