Throughout the period I am in music, I used different equipment and
I will mention some of it.
Guitars
The first guitars I should mention are models Gibson Les Paul and
Fender Stratocaster. In 2000, I experimented with Kramer guitars, and later
with many other prominent guitar models. However, since the Concept was established,
I started to use guitars made by Japanese company Ibanez. Model I should
mention here is of Ibanez series RG550 - "Desert Yellow Sun" and
Ibanez Jem 7 BSB (2005 – 2006). Ibanez series RG550 is specially set model
(from the guitarist of the band Alarm, Jamin Mag) with DiMarzio Super
Distortion lo-pro-edge & top-lock. Today I use 12-string acoustic guitar
Luxor (Japan) and signature model Ibanez "John Petrucci" JPM100P . Model JMP
has been made on a platform of RG series. The sound that is a product of two
DiMarzio hum backer pickups is more than great. DiMarzio Air Norton on the neck
position and Steve's Special on the bridge position, lo-pro-edge, top-lock and
specially designed switch in three positions, and also special graphics on the
body of the guitar. All of this makes the model Ibanez John Petrucci special in
the guitar world. The neck is made of rosewood (the neck is thicker than
platform RG models), and the body is made of basswood. Ibanez John Petrucci
JPM100P is a limited edition and I registered my model of Ibaneza John Petrucci
JPM100P1 on the website www.jpmsite.com
AMPLIFIERS
In 1997, I purchased my first Marshall in combo design with 1x10.
Today I use Mega/Boogie model Studio 22 plus, with 1x12 Black Shadow Vintage
loudspeaker. Preamplifier is: five lamps 12AX7 Mesa/Boogie, and amplifier is:
2 lamps EL-84 Mesa/Boogie. The sound is impeccable. Drive is full, strong and
exactly the way I want. On my gigs, I bug with microphones, without any
connections on line out.
EFFECTS AND PEDALS
I used different models of guitar processors: Zoom, Korg, Boss. The
latest was guitar processor Boss GT-6 and then I stopped using them. After
that, I’ve had a new approach by using pedals of the single type. I use the
pedal board Boss BCB-60 with the following Boss pedals: Digital Reverb/Delay
RV-3, Super Chorus CH-1, Over Drive/Distortion OS-2, Distortion DS-1, Mega
Distortion MD-1, Metal Zone MZ-2, Power Driver PW-2, Super Phaser PH-2 i
Acoustic Simulator AC-3. Dunlop "Crybaby" is obligatory part of equipment,
as well as Mesa/Boogie which is a part of Mesa/Boogie amplifier.
EXTRAS
Slide tube is Dunlop, and guitar picks are 1 mm thick, made by
Ibanez. My pedal setup is packed in Boss pedal board BCB-60. Guitar case is
made by Ibanez, and the guitar belt is quick release model.
