Used Mesa JP-2C Limited Edition John Petrucci Signature Model

The Mesa Boogie JP-2C Limited Edition John Petrucci Signature is one of just 325 built worldwide, a custom, one-time-only run of the legendary IIC+-derived JP-2C amplifier — and this excellent-condition 2016 example (Serial #127) is a rare chance to own a collector's grail. Born from three decades of collaboration between Mesa/Boogie and Dream Theater's John Petrucci, the JP-2C distills the enhanced, high-gain feature set the two developed together, and this Limited Edition adds an exclusive cosmetic specification. It's dressed with a Private Reserve Flame Maple front panel, hand-stained in an exclusive Custom Oxblood finish, with a Mother of Pearl "BOOGIE" inlay and a Mother of Pearl "John Petrucci Signature" inlay, framed by a custom Gun Metal Gray Anodized amp bezel. The chassis and head shell show little to no wear, the handle fabric has begun to degrade with age, and it comes complete with its footswitch — a stunning example of one of the most coveted signature amps ever made.

This is a three-channel, all-tube head delivering selectable 100- or 60-watt output through a quartet of 6L6 power tubes and a five-tube 12AX7 preamp, with lush tube reverb onboard. The JP-2C is built around the iconic IIC+ voicing that defined an era of high-gain lead tone, refined and expanded to Petrucci's exacting specifications for tight, articulate rhythm crunch and singing, harmonically rich lead sustain. A comprehensive back panel offers a built-in effects loop plus a full array of speaker outputs — dual 4/8-ohm, one 8-ohm, and one 16-ohm — so you can drive virtually any cabinet configuration your rig demands, from a single 4x12 to a full stereo wet-dry setup.

What sets this particular amp apart is its provenance: as a Limited Edition, it ships with a Limited Edition Certification Plate and is personally autographed by both John Petrucci and Mesa/Boogie founder Randall Smith — the kind of documentation and pedigree that collectors prize and that becomes only harder to find as the years pass. From crushing modern metal rhythm to soaring, vocal lead lines, the JP-2C is a benchmark high-gain amp, and this rare Limited Edition wraps that legendary tone in a one-time-only package. Whether you're a progressive-metal or Dream Theater devotee, a pro guitarist chasing the ultimate IIC+ lead tone, or a serious collector of signature and limited-run amps, this is an opportunity that doesn't come around often (Serial #127, 1 of 325 made in 2016). Includes footswitch and certification plate. Order today from Brian's Guitars. Questions about this amplifier? We're happy to help.
