Pull Me Under - Isolated Guitar

[Gitfiddler]

sounds good to me.

 

[cardinal]

Ok I admit I at first thought this was about an Evanescence song

 

[Gitfiddler]

Been listening to this a lot. Such great writing. Not a fan of the singing on the final product

 

[Donnie B.]

sounds good to me.

Jeez, coming in at 1:18 - unmistakable Boogie Mark grind. Love JP.

 

[fek]

Sounds great!

 

[GJgo]

Killer. I love playing this song.

 

[NaturalBornBoy]

Fucking sweet as! That album bloody killed!!

 

[psychodave]

That was great. Tone and playing. I have even more respect for him after hearing that.

 

[Filter500]

Thanks for posting that! I do like LaBrie's voice, though.

 

[Findthetone1]

Not an ounce of slop. What a monster player

 

[SpiderWars]

That album release was when I discovered them and I went to see them at a small venue thinking no fucking way will they be able to execute that album live. Mind blown.

Loved the tone on that too...I know what I'm playing today.

I believe all of them attended Berklee? Monster talent there. Pull Me Under was overplayed back then; kinda like Metallica's Black album. Fantastic 2C+ tone.

I believe Petrucci and Myung were at Berkeley for a semester before they left to focus on DT. Portnoy the same, I think. Moore went to another school for a short time before leaving to do DT. These guys basically had their chops before going to Berkeley.

 

[cardinal]

Yeah isn't the joke that the really talented folks at Berklee don't stick around very long.

Killer Mesa Mark tone.

 

[shredi knight]

....Fantastic 2C+ tone.

He actually used a Mesa Quad Preamp for that album.

(Go to about 4:55)

 

[danielraible]

On the isolated Metropolis track, you can hear the Quad on the right, and a JMP-1 on the left, creates a nice balance between the Mesa note definition and the Marshall crunch. Also sounds like those masters are aging poorly, or there is some sort of noise reduction chattering away throughout:

 

[Beyond Black]

Most isolated clips sound surprisingly thin. That did not...

 

[Meeotch]

According to DT Wiki
https://dreamtheater.fandom.com/wiki/John_Petrucci

• Images and Words - Mesa Boogie Quad-Preamp, Mesa Boogie 2 95 Power Amp, Marshall 1x12 modded by Harry Kolbe through a Bag End and Electro Voice EVM 112L 12 inch speakers., Roland JC120 for cleans. Guitar-Ibanez JPM John Petrucci Signature

Always hard to say exactly what was used, but this kinda makes me want to track down a Quad.

I could have sworn Petrucci said it was a Triaxis preamp/290 power amp/Recto OS cab back in the guitar magazines at the time
