Greetings Everyone!
« on: Time Format »

        Hello,
    Rebooted MP-1 user here! I had one back in 1990 and I loved it, but traded it later to "simplify" with a Marshall rig. I have just obtained an old MP-1 (the one with the open hole to the switch) and I am really digging what I hear. I also picked up an old Roland GP-8 and the ADA B200S as well. I think, including some trades, I paid around 450.00 total for all of that...which is crazy! Not liking the B200S so far as my pickups don't respond to the SS like they do to a tube amp, so I think I am having a friend build a small, low watt, tube slave amp for the MP-1. Anyway...just wanted to say hello and I'm sure I'll be asking a million questions and hopefully I can be of help to someone too!

Welcome back to the A/DA family!

I'm relatively new here myself and I found it quite easy to talk to these guys. Don't worry about asking too many questions either, people here are very knowledgable and we will all try our best to help! :thumb-up:

Cheers!

LOLOLOL!! Thank you all...and no, I'm not crazy about the B200S. I can't get the chimey cleans like I do with a tube amp.

Hey VoxG2,

    You probably already tried this, but I have to ask anyway, did you try tweaking your EQ on the preamp? IMHO, as far as solid state power amps go for use with a guitar, I believe the B200S is the best ever made. No other SS power amp has the warmth that one does.

Is it because of this, that the B200S is also the hottest SS Power Amp ever made? :o O:-)

   Only in the sense that it is specific for guitar amplification. You can get a ton of other power amps that are transparent, but that doesn't guarantee a guitar preamp will sound good with it.

 hahaha...no, I have messed around with the EQ, but still am frustrated my the cleans and the neck dirty. I am going to experiment with an earlier GT Space Station and see how that sounds, but I have a friend that builds amps, and his stuff sounds great, so he is building me a single 6L6/one driver 12ax7 slave amp. I probably would indeed sell the B200S. I paid 125 after shipping from Music Go Round a few months ago.

Yeah, if the timing is right and I find a B200s, I'll nab it.

I like my MT-200 too, I just like having at least TWO of everything in my rig in case something catastrophic occurs. (like a preamp dying, or a power amp only working out of one channel etc.) Right now, my backup amp is my lil' marshall combo.

If I'm gainfully employed by the time VoxG2 decides to sell his....watchout ;)
