John Petrucci
DREAM THEATER
For a John Petrucci sound, we recommend the Vintage channel of the AMP1 Iridium Edition. You will get the best results with a Super-Strat, but you can also achieve at least a similar sound with other guitars. Depending on your guitar and pickup type, you may have to make some compromises:

The underrated component: the cab!
The amp is only one part of the overall sound. The speaker you use has just as big an impact on the sound. That is why the settings shown above may need to be adjusted depending on the speaker you use.
