Mesa Boogie JP-2C Head - Emerald Bronco w/Tan Grille

The Interstellar Tone Traveler has encountered many amplifiers across the cosmos, but few circuits carry the mythological weight of the Mesa Boogie MARK IIC+. For decades, players have searched relentlessly for original IIC+ heads — the amp behind some of the most defining heavy tones ever recorded — paying extraordinary prices for the privilege. The JP-2C ends that search. Born from thirty years of collaboration between Mesa Boogie and Dream Theater's John Petrucci, the JP-2C is Mesa's first unlimited-build signature amplifier and their most ambitious IIC+ offering ever: not a reissue, but a next-generation evolution of the most coveted circuit in heavy music, refined across three decades of shared research and relentless pursuit of perfection. Three dedicated channels, each voiced exclusively from IIC+ DNA, cover every dimension of the heavy tonal universe: Channel 1 delivers the highest-headroom clean sound possible in the preamp, Channel 2 gives you the original IIC+ Lead circuit in its most legendary grinding rhythm configuration, and Channel 3 unleashes the explosive attack, blistering sustain, and harmonic complexity of the finest IIC+ lead tone ever produced — now running through a 100-watt Class A/B power section that Petrucci himself considers the definitive IIC+ configuration. The new SHRED voicing mode adds a layer of upper harmonic content and three-dimensional aggression to both high-gain channels that the original IIC+ simply could not achieve. This custom example arrives dressed in stunning Emerald Bronco with Tan Grille — a combination as distinctive and commanding as the amp itself.

What elevates the JP-2C beyond even the finest original IIC+ is the engineering intelligence built into every feature decision. Two independent 5-band Graphic EQs — one assignable to each high-gain channel — solve the problem that led many top artists of the IIC+ era to run two separate heads through a MIDI switcher: finally, your crunch rhythm and your lead sound can each have their own dedicated EQ without compromise. Pull Gain and Pull Presence options expand the tonal palette further, while 60/100-watt power switching adds versatility for different venues and applications. The all-tube reverb is channel-independent and footswitchable. The fully buffered tube FX Loop handles your signal chain without coloring what the preamp worked so hard to build. The onboard CABCLONE™ D.I. with Closed Back, Open Back, and Vintage cabinet voicings plus headphone output means the JP-2C is recording-ready without a microphone in sight. Full MIDI control with 256 program numbers lets you store and recall every parameter of every sound with a single footswitch. For the Interstellar Tone Traveler who demands the ultimate in high-gain tone, articulation, and versatility — dressed in a finish worthy of the instrument's stature — the JP-2C in Emerald Bronco is the final destination.
