It's clear he's just using the Axe-Fx, and the Mesas are just for show!

I bet the Mesas are just faceplates and all he really uses are the Axe-FXs.

I’ve long speculated this after Cliff modeled “John’s personal amp.”

This is how the rest of the band fucks with Petrucci when he goes to take a leak during practice.

Back in my Mesa days I would have lost my shit if someone did this to my amp's knobs and EQ. That stuff took infinity time to get set just right. If you even breathed near it I'd be pissed.

Fractal gets endless shit for playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers.

Worst analogy ever.

As a former Mark IV/Dual Rec owner, yes!

Dude, carbon fiber fronts?

Reminds me of the time we played a show, and it was early early days of the band and I didn't have an amp. So I took my Fulltone OCD along and was just gonna play through the house amp, which was a tiny Fender combo thing. It was shit.

The headline band (bunch of nobodies really) wouldn't let me borrow their amp, because he didn't want me to mess up his controls.

Mate... you were playing a fucking Marshall Mode Four... it was gonna sound like dogshit whatever you set the knobs to!!

Do you know how he splits duties between the TC and Fractal units?
