I keep coming back to this video every once in a while. First saw it back in 2006. Best distortion I ever heard even with the sub-par video quality. Petrucci's current rig doesn't hold a candle to how he sounded here.

His main amps recently have been the Mark IV's and the Lonestar. On the TOT tour, it was Roadkings and Lonestars, Chaos in Motion tour was the Mark IV/Lonestar rig, Octavarium tour was the Roadkings for the first half, the second half of the tour was a custom IIC+ preamp through a rectifier poweramp (same rig that he used on Score). Six Degrees was the IIC+ rig. Hope that helps.

I played my first EBMM John Petrucci 6 in Graphite. Not a BFR, but doesn't matter. It BLEW ME AWAY. That guitar is better than my '58 Gibson Les Paul by far (and much cheaper as well). One of the best guitars I've ever played.

@royeeeee I think he used a Randall before and around the 1st DT album. At least, to me, it sounds like a Randall RG100ES. He could also be seen using the Randall 4x12s for some early (1989) DT footage with a Mesa head. And the Road Kings actually are Dual Rectifiers, just a "spin-off" version like the Blue Angel. And I think on Awake, he used the rackmounted (discontinued) Dual Rectifiers.

prolly because it's easier to reach higher frets, and it makes it easier to move your hand along the neck, because it helps take all the weight off of your fretting hand. or at least thats why i think...

Too many INDORECT midi things can go wrong touring. The same available with preamp and two power amps: Triaxis-Abacus-dual 2:90 pr offering 8-tones: 2-clean, 2-OD, 2- Crunch, and 2-Lead. More ergonomic and less stuff to lug around and have to re-setup every single day on the road. Dual shock 6 space racks at most. + guitar tech + amp tech constantly retubing and rebiasing of all those heads + tech for all the midi interfaces. Too much overhead. Each to his own. Regardless, you rock JP ~skygod~

So, his main amplifier is the Mark IIC+? I was considering a Mark IIC, but I can't seem to figure out if it's the same as the C+, or what the differences are. And, by the way, you all sound a tad ridiculous. There's no such thing as a best guitarist in the world as music is of a subjective nature and there's also no reason to insult anyone for their musical tastes, especially over the internet.
