From Petrucci's guitar tech:
Played this for 10 mins, heres what I can remember about it.
each channel has: 3 voices, a bold/dark switch, 3 power settings, eq selector, Gain, treb, mid, bass, presence knobs.
channel 1 voicings- Clean, Fat Clean, Tweed
channel 2 voicings- Edge, Crunch, Mark I
channel 3 voicings- Mark IIc+, Mark IV, Extreme
3 power settings are 10w, 45w, 90w
eq selector selects graphic on/off/footswitchable (graphic has 2 eq pots added)
selectable tube/diode rectification for each channel
tweed setting on power switch, simul class but was loaded with 6l6's
reverb, serial loop, footswitch has 8 switches on it.
Mark IIc+ sounds great, Mark IV sounds like my Mark IV lead channel,
Mark I is nice and dark. Fat Clean and Crunch sound like my Stiletto.
They told me it is the exact circuitry of the Mark IIc+ and Mark IV when you select those modes.

The cleans were awesome. Best I've heard on a Boogie. I remember one of the cleans being very 3-D and almost, single channel vintage-ish in it's 'fullness'. At that time, there was also a mode that, to me, was the closet they've gotten to a Marshall tone. Very cool. Not sure how much it's changed at this point. I did love the fact the graphic was assignable per channel. So you could have the 'smiley face' heaviness, without fucking up everything else. It was also the first Boogie I ever thought I'd be happy with owning.
Here's a pic of the prototype Petrucci was using.
