- Full mix test of Neural DSP's Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ Suite and Archetype Petrucci! Love them both!
I used the same IR to better compare them. Also it's drop C tuning :)

It's ironic how, at least to my ears, the IIC+ plugin sounds closer to John's classic tone than his own signature plugin (without considering all the effects of course)
I agree. His plugin is a mashup of all of his tones, including his late ones, which doesn't sound as tight as the IIC+
I agree, IIC+ plugin is closer to his origina tone from older albums and signature plugin is closer to latest albums.
Really love both of these, the IIC+ has this really awesome grit to it, and the Petrucci has a great mashup of some different tones. I feel like the difference comes down to how much tinkering you're willing to do as the player, since the IIC+ can be hard to get the sounds you're looking for if you don't have any experience.
I came here trying to get a comparison to help me choose which one I'd pay for as my trial ended months ago.
THANKS FOR NOTHING, I STILL CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND!!
LOL
Great playing, man!
Lol 😁 both are really great, I'm surprised with how great and different they are. Gotta say the Mesa IIC+ is more versatile though.
Thanks man!
Also it was hard to decide which one to use on this specific song (on the video). I ended up with Mesa, as I wanted a more "filthy/gnarly" tone for that one.
@@sergiopusep That's awesome! Thank you for the insight, I think that settles what I'm looking for!
Great comparison man. I think I prefer the signature bark in the midrange from the iic+. I’ve yet to test but I have a feeling the Fortin Cali would be very close to these aswell. Great sounds 🤘
Actually yes! Cali is a Mesa based plugin I think!
Thanks! I could not dial a good tone for Mark IIc suite, so after the free trial, I discarded it. I tried the Archetype Petrucci and it sounded great out of the gate. Now I'm rethinking if I need to give the Mesa suite another chance . . .
Archetype Petrucci is MUCH easier to dial in. Mesa IIC+ has SO many options to mess around, sometimes I'm not sure if I'm using them all correctly. But the presets are a good starting point!
Nice job on this compare and your playing
Thank you!
I really like petrucci for the rhythm, and iic+ for lead.
Definitely a good choice!
I would like to see your Archetype Petrucci tone!
What do you mean? The settings?
Nice playing. I don't think that it can be compared coz until the mark 4 all those mesa's have that 1st volume that work together with the lead drive.
I mean..Volume at 4 and drive at 7,5 have a sound but volume at 7,5 and lead drive at 4 (even 6) is another sound. I wouldn't use so much mids on a 2c+ but i will rise the treble to 8.
iiC+ plugin is like the real one and the Petrucci is allmost identical like caracter but for me it work like a mark 5. Sorry for the long story. i do olso use Neural even that i still have and love the my mk5 and a studio pre.
Wow, that was nice to read, thank you! I love Mesa/Boogies but still don't own one, so your thoughts are very interesting!
Definitely post Mark IV-V Mesa/Boogies began to be more versatile in its controls, that's awesome but clearly changed the classic tone itself.
@@sergiopusep Sorry, my bad. I said until the mark4 but i should said from the mark5;. I found out that even with IK Multimedia that have those boogie mk2 mk3 mk4 some people are struggeling to have a good lead tone because of those pots that work together input gain and lead drive
The Archetype cuts better in a mix. Believe me, I've tried all kinds of guitar amp sims
Sick playing! Would you be able to share that mesa boogie xml file? Been having difficulties dialling in some tones for some reason
Yes, send me an e-mail! sergio@hybrid.sysd.org
Nice! They both sound great! Could you share that IR?
Thanks! It's the Mark IIC+ Suite first IR (with a little mic position tweaking)!
