Got my new US MP2
rnolan:
Well I just got my new(ish) MP2 which I bought from WAR_in_D, so it's a US model and I can't test it till my step down transformer arrives (hopefully tomorrow), so more later.. I must say however, WAR_in_D is great to do business with. He packed this so well, I was amazed, everything nice (looks almost as new), so well packed, came FedEx very quick.
@WAR_in_D thanks my friend :thumb-up: , no physical damage, and looks good inside (I took the lid off).

Well step down tranny arrived so fired it up and programmed my 3 current go to MP2 patches, all works well and sounds great. :thumb-up:
Does anyone one know where I can get the heat resistant foam/rubber tube spacers for it ? WinD said the ones he had were all sticky etc so I think he chucked them.
I'm also wondering if I really need them, the 2 reasons I can think of for them being in MP2s is a bit of shock mount for transport, and maybe they help reduce microphonics at high gain.

Imho there's no need for them at all. The tubes hardly rattle against each other, even if you put the rack on top of a 1x15 running at pedal-to-the-metal ;)
If it gives you comfort nevertheless, check these out (but defo snake-oil imho):

Hey SC, yeah I was wondering why ??. And for now this unit is staying in the studio rig as I don't plan to lug a step down tranny to jams. Though I may steal/swap trannys with another MP2 so I can take it out >:D It has a lovely character (having 4 MP2s is interesting to compare, they are all quite different (subtlety)) but I need to spend some more time with (playing) it.

Hey R
I have some lying around.
