Notes

Live performance, 2024, as part of Dream Theater's 40th Anniversary Tour. Petrucci is confirmed to use the Majesty 7 with DiMarzio signature pickups and the Mesa/Boogie JP-2C head for current live shows. Effects are primarily run through a Fractal Axe-FX III for modulation and time-based effects, with some pedals for overdrive/boost and wah. Settings are estimated based on typical Petrucci live rig and genre conventions for the solo section.
