yes that should be correct but else on the back of the mp-1 is a small pic of the switch setting.(only V1 mp-1's)

thanks

it seems i have to turn the volume/output knob to around 2 o clock on the ADA to get the full signal.

i also tried using the send output on the ADA to the JCM 800 and it works

is there a difference?

i don't have to crank the output on the ada if i am using fx send instead of output A, but the jcm 800 pre amp gain must be on 10 to get full signal or it sounds buzzy.

Well the send will not have the chorus signal.

Now if you don't have enough signal then you can switch the ADA to line so it will output more signal.

About the JCM800,there is a small brown 1000pF cap on the preamp vol pot, you can cut it off so it won't sound buzzy at lower settings.

not gonna touch anything on the 800.

but man, it sounds mean.

i wish marshall has a power amp that uses the same everything as the jcm 800.

[MarshallJMP]

Well the Marshall 9005 rack power amp comes very close.

A couple people have asked about my Rig Setups, so I thought it'd be neat to actually make a diagram/schematic of sorts about how my stuff is hooked up.  Fun!  I haven't done that Windows Paint thing in quite some time.  lol
EDIT:  Changed a few things since this original post, so I made a new diagram.  However, since Photobucket are complete bastards I'll just have to attach it to this post. 

Rig of Fire

Bottom 4x12 cab is guitar, top 4x12 cab is Mellotron/organ section.
Bottom cab is split to accomodate both channels of poweramp, and Crate Powerblock is Bridged to Mono.
For versatility, can also gig with just bottom 4x12;  the top two speakers are wired with a switchable jack to make a "stereo" 2x12.  Both channels of Guitar poweramp then go into one speaker each on top while the Powerblock gets the bottom two speakers.

ADA MP-2 preamp and Rocktron Xpression fx unit are currently connected in Parallel via the Effects Loop. 

The EHX Mel9 and C9 fx are always On.   The wah is switchless; step on for On step off for Off.  The Vox volume pedal controls the  overall Output of the EHX "9" effects from "Off" to full volume and wherever I may want it in between.  This allows that Mellotron and Organ effect to be separate from the guitar; Guitar only, Effect only, or both guitar and Mellotron/Organ effect simultaneously.  The Saturnworks A/B with 2 Inputs and one Output switches between the Mel9 and the C9 and determines which of those 2 signals go through.  The Crate Powerblock is compact, and definitely affordable so it works good here.  I may replace it with a rack amplifier later on though; this diagram subject to change (as it already has several times since this original post).

I used to run a 2-cab split Stereo setup, but I felt it was too complicated for quick stage/gig setups and changeovers.

Cool setup Kimmer 

I really like those Mel9 pedals....trying to decide if I want that or the Key9

[bunkyloo]

That is an interesting setup bet it sounds great with the cabinets wired like that

Go Kim, nice setup  maybe put a copy in the new routing and patching
