Hey rADAr hows it going? Sweet rack Dude! Question...how do you like the 1.38 version compared to the 2.01 version? I have a 2.01 & have a chance to pick up a 1.38 @ a Killer price & was just wondering if there was alot of difference in the software/sound etc between the two? Thanks Dude 

[rADAr]

Hi there, Randall! Thanks for the nice words. I'm currently without a band, so that's why the rack is on the floor in my living room... lol. Hope to get back in business with the ADA-rack soon

I got the 1.38 in 2004, and it sounded amazing. I was surprised how clean and quiet it was, very little noise coming from the unit. Later I did the battery,noise and stock gain mod. After that it changed for the worse regarding the noise. It hums too much and therefore I haven't used it much since. Actually I think about undoing the Stock Gain Mod and updating it with an MRDT, maybe it will end up in Belgium at MarshallJMP's eventually. The 2.01 I got later on, and this is what I use now. Not because it is better, but because of the troubles with the first one.

If you have a chance of getting an unmodded 1.38 for cheap, go for it. You can't have too many MP-1's

Nice rig rADAr 
The Carvin DCM200L should sound good. Another member went that way with his MP1 rig and IIRC like it allot. And a whole lot less weight to carry compared to the TS100, it's a brick, but very nice amp.

[rADAr]

Yeah, I think the DCM200L will be nice. I will need to get a 6U rack to fit it in there, I always like to keep some space between the units.

Lots of pros used Carvin power amps back in the day. Michael Wilton, Chris DeGarmo, Vito Bratta comes to mind. They all had Carvin FET poweramps in their rigs at a time. I wonder if there is a huge difference in sound between the mosfet FET450/900 amps and the DCM's that Carvin makes now?

Hey Radar,did you hear anything about Mythos,i haven't heared from him in a long time,last thing i knew he was moving to Greece.I kinda miss him,he was a nice guy 

[rADAr]

Hi, Marshall! Haven't heard much from Mythos, but I think he moved, yes. He is on Faceb**k. Lot's of the people from the old Depot seem to have dissapeared.... With ADA (the company) releasing new products like the MP-1-Channel and with more products in the works (Perhaps a MP-3?) maybe they'll return. Once an ADA addict, always an ADA addict, or something like that..hehe

[El Chiguete]

If they bring an MP-3 (btw there is another thread with our requests for it) that really is an updated version of the older units with some new features and NOT something silly like the MP-1 Channel then for sure we all will be costumers!

Yes it is I you speak of, and the DCM200L sounds great with my MP1, JMP1 and Voodu Valve! Be sure to use the EQ expand button!! It cuts 4db off at 1k (a little high mid scoop).
Extremely transparent power amp.

would love to see a mp-3. BRING RACK GEAR BACK.

I've been eying one off in the music store for a while, thinking to build a smaller (4RU) easy to carry setup. It would also be a good choice for a small bass rig. Thanks for the heads up on the eq expand button, when I first checked the DCM200 out on the Carvin site it didn't explain exactly what it did. So if you are using it with studio monitors it acts like a loudness button, makes sense...

[Soloist]

Updated rig pic. It's always changing...but this is my current set-up.

So adadepot is a sort of asylum for People like you and I... gear addicted !

[Soloist]

I would have to say yes. There seems to be quite a few of us here 
Believe it or not, I might be acquiring a Mesa 50/50 next week.

Had to reload the pics. The pedal board was wrong.
