Ted is the WORST interviewer you've EVER had!!!! I have never made it through a single video of his (including NAMM videos). Keep him confined to the office. Also, hit up Dirks, and double her salary. We NEED her! Ted has that "shyster/creepy uncle" vibe. PLEASE never let him in front of the camera, again. He ruins it, for all of us..... -JQ
@@matteo-nf1kv oh sorry i was being lame, i didnt really intend on people expecting it to be real, i was just one of those people who had a profile with the name of someone
Even while being interviewed, John Myung was warming up running his fingers over fretboard. That's the extent of devotion in pursuit of perfection (which he attained long time back though).
Yeah, same with Petrucci. Petrucci has got to the point of saying that his lead tone in images and words was just a regular lead tone in a certain interview, just so that he could avoid going into detail and mentioning ibanez. Endorsing a brand is one thing, but going so far as to not mentioning what has made you succesful in the past is lame to say the least. I think their contract literally does not allow them to do it.
@@Dinozzo1995 I doubt it. I think he's still butthurt that ibanez wouldn't let him modify what he really wanted. Sad really cause that was his best tone! His new tone is shitty and generic metal.
@@alejandrocisneros7442 I've seen it multiple times in interviews. It was very obvious he was uncomfortable and trying to evade the subject when he was supposed to talk about ibanez. Petrucci has become a bit of a salesman nowadays next to a musician and is very much into endorsing Musicman.
@@alejandrocisneros7442 Tone with Ibanez was great. But his best was with a JP6 in Six Degrees, in my opinion (and overall mix of the album was outstanding).
Someone at PG has a serious sense of humor. Send this super mellow interviewer to Eric Johnson, okay maybe a coincidence. To John Petrucci and John Myung? Absolute mad lad. 31:16 after killer little bass riff "...Cool..." "Uhhhhhhhh..." This is the most perfectly awkward thing I've ever seen
Maybe hes human and isnt a machine that can just jump when told at any moment. Maybe he doesent like dream theatre and its just a job for him. The info is all that matters, i dont need these guusbto be friends just run down the rig.
20:13 I see the the piezo going into a Palmer Line ISO transformer. This box is the key to keeping ground loops between the front of the house and Guitar Rig. Just thought I would note that for all you gear heads like myself. Great Video Thanks for posting.
The tone on the new album is just outstanding, as good as the golden days of SFAM or SDOIT, my personal favorites in terms of guitar tone. Truly awesome video from the Master ad PG. Cheers! :D
It's a good decision of JP to join EB. I can't imagine him redesigning the classic RG body to make his own JPM lines. EB is lucky to have JP too, despite the high price tag that guitars are selling like popcorn.
Alder is great really bring those chills by the higher and mid frequencies. Amazing wood, exotic one with Mahogany John did very well with this. The interviewer was great! John Myung was great too
I use a TC Electronics Body Rez for my piezo signal and a Parametric EQ for boosting the weaker piezo signals. I use EBMM JP7 2008 Desert Gold with piezo and EBMM JP7 BFR XI with piezo. I also use a Fender Nashville Telecaster w/ piezo. For some reason the older Petrucci has a louder piezo.
@@DavidOakesMusic I noticed that too when he was playing Untethered Angel. He was a little sloppy and you could tell that he thought he could do better. Notice his fingers too, after
John Myung is the reason I grew to love Music Man. Dream Theater is my favorite band (a phrase that I do not use lightly), and Myung is probably my favorite bassist playing today. He makes so much more of a noticeable difference than other bassists in his position, and he doesn't just do it by playing louder or faster. His composition within the songs and his tone really hit me.
I can appreciate this interviewer, he did a fantastic job. There are other rig run downs where the interviewer really just seems to be in the way, but not here.
How do you program volume levels into the patches? You got the Mesa amps and the AxeFx is just paralel in the send/return loop. So when a patch is made, it has a volume level set by the pots on the amp. But how do you make volume level adjustments if needed for different songs, for different rooms? One more question please: Is there any buffer at the front of the magnetic signal chain? In the video you say it hits firts the crybaby... ?
Greg drop/boost the volume between pre amp and power amp will reduce the volume going into the power amp. I imagine it’s sort of a virtual volume pedal in the patch.
Poor John, he DESPERATELY just wants somebody to geek out on all the thought and hard work he put into the design of this guitar, not just be impressed and overwhelmed like this guy, no fault of his own. I feel ya nerdy John; all I want in the world is for someone to play my custom guitar projects and notice all the nifty little tricks, but I mostly just get “plays nice dude” 👍
I really appreciate Petrucci's rig. It seems like a lot at first, but it really isn't too terribly huge compared to other guitarists playing venues of a similar size.
I've got two of the 5 string models of the HH configuration, one signed by the band that I don't play anymore, but I'm intrigued by the signature one coming out.....next year though....
Could someone explain to me what JM said about the different tunings? Why does he use half step below or above tuning? And how does he use? I can't understand but I'm curious. Thanks in advance. :)
Get really these tuning a are used to achieve different keys, because it may suit the singers range more. Obviously, they’re all such accomplished musicians they could play in whatever key they liked, but it generally helps to give a different timbre and makes playing slightly easier, which may help a great deal in a live context when so much is already on their minds.
I don’t understand how they are using that Framptone A/B switch the way the tech is describing it. So they have 4 channels of wireless, 2 for magnetic pickups, and 2 for piezos, and so they switch each set when switching guitars. But that A/B has the typical single mono input, and two mono outputs which are switched via the A/B button. So how is he feeding the mag and piezo outputs into that? And then somehow routing just the piezo out to rez pedal, the other to the rack wah and ultimately the magnetic rig? I would think he would need a 4 input, 2 output box that allows him to switch between the inputs, feeding the same two outputs. Anyone?
I'm confused: if the neck is all mahogany from the headstock to the body, how is the neck flamed maple? Just when he said "to educate you". Or is it just that back veneer over the mahogany, between the black sides, that shows the flamed figure? Or just a middle flamed maple centre. Beautiful guitar, for definite! :)
Whats on the clip board? Been awhile since I have seen one. Classic. They sell these on Premier Guitar? Maybe next year they should be part of the Mystery Stocking.
EBMM Majesty are amazing "all in one" guitars!! Sadly I sold mine to custom build my Kiesel. I dont really regret it so much but I do miss it, JP thought of everything when it comes to a signature guitar.
How can the core of the first guitar be one piece of mahogany when the neck is three pieces..one of which is clearly maple?
5 років тому
He probably got that wrong since the new majestys models are the first ones with a three pieces neck. For the neck wood, it is mahogany, that maple you see on the back of it is just a cap, for the looks.
Kahê Sathler ?? It’s not a Cap on the neck. The centre piece is maple, all the way through and the sides are mahogany. There are photos on The website showing that the model has multi piece necks on some variations.
Very nice rig rundown, except that you forgot to pay attention to a nice and ultimate element: Furman! I wanted to know if it's a power conditioner or a voltage regulator and or maybe a model that does both fucntions ?

Interviewer - "ok well thank you for being with us"
John Myung - "Ok thanks" *walks into a portal and vanishes*
He's probably thinking: I could be practicing instead of this :)
I think he's actually not there, he's just commuting through some astral space :)
“This is a neck thru,” *flips it over* “-- this is a bolt on”
in 31:30, Myung keeps talking, and moving his fingers automatically over the bass, without even thinking about it... amazing
He also beats the crap out of the strings
This man needs to do all the interviews, he really let's the artist speak and explain their gear.
I like this guy. Doesn’t talk over the person he’s trying to interview
Lee Barker i
Its pretty easy to not talk over John Myung lol
Instead they never let him interview anyone again. 😂
3:20 he really just called the pick ups speakers
I had a WTF moment, and had to rewind to make sure i heard that right... LOL
The interviewer is an idiot
@@altierianthony01 Where's Ace Ventura when we need him......
I miss Rebecca dirks...
Shut up. Those are highly wound speakers. Im happy to know seymour duncan make speakers now. Not pick ups.
The DAddario ad wasn't loud enough, my speakers still work!
I love everything about this video.
But I'm now convinced that John Myung is an alien haha.
I could only wish I had his skill.
according to Trump, Illegal alien!
his bass even looks like a spaceship. lol
Some say that if you eat the brains you acquire the knowledge
I play both bass and guitar (mostly guitar) and wish I had the skills they both have
@@bernhardtsen74 What a hateful, stupid comment.
Love Petrucci. Always such a soft spoken humble guy.
I totally agree! What a legend when it comes to guitar playing and such a pleasant guy!
Oh my yes, Cant wait for my own 2020 signature model Bongo
Dream Theater bassist stops by and hardly anyone notices?!? Hi John! You're AMAZING!
Is it coming out or what?

@@matteo-nf1kv oh sorry i was being lame, i didnt really intend on people expecting it to be real, i was just one of those people who had a profile with the name of someone
John Petrucci, still one of my favourite Guitar Heroes, but certainly my favourite EBMM Sales Rep.
"Can we hear it a lil bit?".....(Myungs bass rips interviewer face clean off) ....."Cool."
You can tell that even when during the interview, JM always practicing.
Ninja Myung doesnt speak in interviews, he speaks when he plays😈
I bet their bus is really quiet
except for the sounds of instruments and music being played at respectfully low volumes 🤣 and maybe some _fortnite_ being played...
Even while being interviewed, John Myung was warming up running his fingers over fretboard. That's the extent of devotion in pursuit of perfection (which he attained long time back though).
It's one thing to get there. It's another to stay.
Oh my god JM talked for more than 2 minutes
He looked awkward doing so.
Please don't let him see this. He'll never do it again if he does.
These D'Addario Auto Lock Straps are awesome. I can't believe it took them so long to come up with something like this!!!
JM avoiding mentioning other Bass brands like Neo with bullets lololol

Kudos and respect for the interviewer, he gives enough room so that John explains every detail.
I wish Rebecca Dirks was still doing these. She inquired all the way down to string sizes and picks.
She got so much unwarranted hate in the comments, im guessing that's part of the reason

This is the most perfectly awkward thing I've ever seen
The guy literally said "cool" the same way you say "that's great" sarcastically when you spill coffee on your lap.
You think this is awkward, watch the one they did with NIN a while back...
I totally agree! It's so painful to watch and almost like he isn't even interested
Maybe hes human and isnt a machine that can just jump when told at any moment. Maybe he doesent like dream theatre and its just a job for him. The info is all that matters, i dont need these guusbto be friends just run down the rig.
I like Ted, he seems to cover more prog/avant bands and its always great, I like him
John Petrucci scoops the mids, oh god, my heart is broken.
Mesa amps got tons of mids that almost all users know to back it down a lot
The default eq setting on Boogie Marks is scooped mids. Any time you see a mark head in these videos the mids are all the way down.
The rainmaker ys because of all the tears when you see the price of this guitar.
Hahaha 😂😂 LoL
Ballpark?
@@Elevenbravo_ABN Yeah it costs as much as a ballpark.
@@MR3DDev
Lol. I was asking for an approximate price. Is it more than three grand?
@@Elevenbravo_ABN probably more like 4500
Waiting for the JP signature beard oil “Majestic Whiskers” 😂
I would be into that tbh😂
I need that in my life.
hey.
Aye can you tell me the next lottery numbers?

Finally, a PG rig rundown of DT gear with the artist themselves!
Agreed. I hate it when the tech does it and he obvs couldnt give two f--s.
@@DavidOakesMusic In fairness to Maddi, he knows his stuff. He now builds the rig of both of the Johns.
it was great for the John's to talk a bit about the gear then have Matt fill in the more trickier parts
The tone on the new album is just outstanding, as good as the golden days of SFAM or SDOIT, my personal favorites in terms of guitar tone.
Truly awesome video from the Master ad PG. Cheers! :D
Agreed. S2N is an amazing example like his solo tone
Yes I agree and also noticed that he might have turned up mids just a little bit which sounds awesome!
Push-push pots are the bomb :) John is seriously the best promoter of his gear.. wonderful stuff. He's such a pro.
I fitted a push-push pot on my Gibson Midtown Custom for an OoP sound.
Dream Theater is simply Amazing
Petrucci an untethered Angel fr
Jon neglects addressing the kill zone mode switch, which allows him to play 1000000000000000000 notes thus eradicating entire arenas.
WORLD DOMINATION MDDE
John Petrucci is actually super chill
It's a good decision of JP to join EB. I can't imagine him redesigning the classic RG body to make his own JPM lines.
EB is lucky to have JP too, despite the high price tag that guitars are selling like popcorn.
JP is the most skilled and humble shredder in history. I true guitar hero
Can you guys do Haken? That's a rig rundown that way overdue.
34:32 "Whacks them off a little bit" LOL
Great stuff though! Love their Gear.
Is that a "bongo" bass?
Uh, no, it's uh, wood... and it has pickups...
there speakers not pickups ok..geez
I swear that Petrucci's beard makes him look like the metal Jesus or whatever, plus his guitars are really damn nice as well
Alder is great really bring those chills by the higher and mid frequencies. Amazing wood, exotic one with Mahogany John did very well with this. The interviewer was great! John Myung was great too
I bought in the last weeks 8 DT CD's. What a great Band
New 37 minutes video with GOD Petrucci omg! awesome
Clicked immediately and now I'm first... what a day.... thanks as always for great stuff
Thanks John and Matt, You guys inspire me to create cheaper versions of this rig... Lovely...
my dream guitar 'MAJESTY'
John Myung can make anyone have an unconfortable conversation!!!
How?
He's so lovable
Finally a John Myung Signature Bongo! Hope it comes in Silver and Purple like in his old Yamaha's
This is every guitar nerd and dream theater fanatic's wet dream.
I use a TC Electronics Body Rez for my piezo signal and a Parametric EQ for boosting the weaker piezo signals. I use EBMM JP7 2008 Desert Gold with piezo and EBMM JP7 BFR XI with piezo. I also use a Fender Nashville Telecaster w/ piezo. For some reason the older Petrucci has a louder piezo.
John Myung bass sound is so perfect even if caught by the intercom
Awesome! Just got done playing my JP2C too.
I want to be at the point in my career where I can correct the people interviewing me and they apologize for being wrong.
John Myung was so calm until he start playing his bass at 31:00 hahah
He was like "this is my rockin riff on the album"
@@kennhern and actually, the first time we see it playing
Was it just me or did his action seem super high and he looked like he was struggling a little ?? Maybe just nervous about getting all the attention.
@@DavidOakesMusic I noticed that too when he was playing Untethered Angel. He was a little sloppy and you could tell that he thought he could do better. Notice his fingers too, after
@@kennhern A bit strange considering how rigorous his practice regimen is don't you think? Maybe he just doesn't do well in front of cameras

Thats the most any human has ever heard John myung talk
best signature guitar of all time
Fun fact: Petrucci played Ibanez guitars for long time before Ernie Ball gave him paid endorsement.
John Petrucci's beard is glorious and makes me feel inadequate for my lack facial adornment.
Poor Myung haha. You can tell he's just not into interviews! xD
Yeah. I think he prefers to let his bass do the "talking" 🤣
This may be the most lighting exposure he had on video. Mostly he prefers dark rooms and secluded places.
This is the longest I've ever heard JM talk for.
Can we please get a Rammstein rig rundown for this new tour?
we'll get to see Richard's ESP RZK's and Mesa Boogie rectifiers
Olaf van Rijnsbergen
Rammstein wouldn’t let these peasants near them
That’s the most I have ever heard John Myung speak
I saw them live in Dallas. They sounded absolutely incredible

Hi Guys , would like to know what is the purpose of the fractal effect being used in this setup
Also, John Myung is very humble, to bad I didn't get to meet him after the Atlanta show, like I did with the other guys in Dream Theater.
When Petrucci speaks we shut up and listen!!!
Parabens pelo trabalho,muito bom os vídeos aprendo muito, se não for pedir demais sera que poderia ter legendas em português?
Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I just bought the Jp2c it’s coming today I’m excited to try the beast out
31:02 really big and clear tone, nice!
Sick rigs, love John's bass
I don’t understand how they are using that Framptone A/B switch the way the tech is describing it. So they have 4 channels of wireless, 2 for magnetic pickups, and 2 for piezos, and so they switch each set when switching guitars. But that A/B has the typical single mono input, and two mono outputs which are switched via the A/B button.
So how is he feeding the mag and piezo outputs into that? And then somehow routing just the piezo out to rez pedal, the other to the rack wah and ultimately the magnetic rig? I would think he would need a 4 input, 2 output box that allows him to switch between the inputs, feeding the same two outputs. Anyone?
Interviewer:"can we hear a little bit?"
JM: starts smacking the bass..
Do you guys know whats the wireless plug in that jp used in this video?
I'm confused: if the neck is all mahogany from the headstock to the body, how is the neck flamed maple? Just when he said "to educate you". Or is it just that back veneer over the mahogany, between the black sides, that shows the flamed figure? Or just a middle flamed maple centre. Beautiful guitar, for definite! :)
Lol John's so tanked up that the Baritone JP looks like a normal guitar on him
It looks pretty long on him. He is stocky but pretty short
This guy is looks like a mashup of Bob Weir and Danzig
With Peter Green in the mix our kid ?
John is so humble!
Anyone know how he is using the wireless system, since there is only one input in the majesty. How is he using 2 wireless packs?
cool...john plays..cool..wow what a great interview
Does the Majesty have the capability to go into Killzone Mode?
i have been using push push pots for a long time. this is the first time i see one on a production guitar.
