John Petrucci is a man (God, really) who needs no introduction in the guitar world. Through his years playing and touring with Dream Theater, he has amassed a pretty impressive live rig, to say the least. Recently, legendary Denmarkian beard model Tore Mogensen from TC Electronic went behind the scenes to get a rundown of Petrucci’s gear (that is now even being offered as a deposit bonus for Norwegian gamblers by some of the local casinos as a marketing gig) shown off by his very own tech, Maddi Schieferstein.
It’s pretty obvious here that Maddi knows his shit. Like, this guy knows every nook and cranny of the rig, and he’s not even the one playing through it! As the in-depth rundown progresses, Maddi talks through Petrucci’s pedals, power supplies, signal flow, and so much more. You might actually feel knowledgeable enough to be Petrucci’s tech after watching this, so get learnin’!

A longer focal length would have made this video less disorienting.
