John Petrucci

In this video, John Petrucci can be seen using a Shure SM58.

He uses Boss OC-3 Super Octave.

IN this post John shows off his dimarzio Dreamcatcher and Rainmaker set. this is a set he created with dimarzio. The states that this is a evolution of the pickup sets he has created with dimarzio.

I played a new Taylor acoustic they sent me with their new V-bracing system. And for the first time, on “Fall into the Light,” there’s an acoustic break that I doubled with a Gypsy-jazz guitar made by a German luthier.

According to 2019 Premier Guitar interview, Petrucci's Mesa Boogie cabinets are loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s.

In this rig, John Petrucci used a MIDI Solutions T8 thru box to split his MIDI signals.

In a YouTube video by Ernie Ball, John Petrucci demonstrates his Music Man JP6 BFR guitar. This model, an evolution of the original JP6, features a slightly larger body with a unique taper for comfort. It is crafted with an alder body, a mahogany neck, and tone blocks. Equipped with DiMarzio Signature CrunchLab and LiquiFire pickups, Petrucci highlights its incredible sound quality.

Pickups

The standard pickups for the JPM100 are the DiMarzio Air Norton [neck] and the DiMarzio Steve's Special [bridge]. Some catalogs list the pickups as being the DiMarzio Norton Lite and/or the DiMarzio SFP (Steve's Favorite Pickup) but these are believed to be the same pickups. The first JPM, used to record the "Images And Words" album, used the DiMarzio Humbucker From Hell in the neck and the DiMarzio The Tone Zone in the bridge.

In this video, Petrucci demos the new 2021 8-String Majesty:

"Hey everybody! This is John Petrucci, and I'm here to introduce my Ernie Ball Music Man signature Majesty 8-String Guitar."

"The 8-String has so many things about it that we would be doing for the first time, with this 8-String Majesty. An example, it's the first Majesty with a fixed bridge, the first, or any one of my guitars with fanned frets and slanted pickups. It was important that it had multiple scale-lengths, this top distance here, is shorter than the bottom distance which needs to be longer to allow those strings to resonate, and of course when you do that, the pickups have to be angled, bridge has to be angled. The pickups are my DiMarzio signature Rainmaker and Dreamcatcher (the Dreamcatcher in the bridge the Rainmaker in the neck), these are slanted 8-String versions that were specificly made for this guitar."

"Everything else about the guitar really follows in the tradition of all my signature models with Ernie Ball Music Man, as far as the layout of the controls, the 3-Way pickup selecter, the Piezo selecter, also incorperating a Preamp into the guitar which allows you to have up to 20db boost on the volume control, a coil-split on the tone control, again the Piezo system, controls for the Piezo on the back here and for the boost, and this is a classic Ernie Ball Music Man JP signature color. This was the first color that we came out with, with the first JP-6 and it's Mystic Dream, so this is a color-change paint depending on how you move it, it goes from purple, to green, to slightly black, amazing. The Schaller locking tuners, compensated nut so there's no intonation issues. And there you have it, that's the 8-String Majesty."

In this December 28, 2016 Twitter post by Jim Dunlop U.S.A. Petrucci is shown holding one of his Red signature Jazz IIIs, the post reads:
