Just wanted to throw a "heads up" out there for you when dialing in your own sounds on an MP-2.
The EQ
could drive you mad.
You have a regular EQ (Lo, Mid, Treb, Pres) available to use,
and a Graphic EQ to boot! Now, I never understood why both of those are located at the same place in the signal chain (Post preamp tubes) as it seemed to make more sense if one was say Pre Drive and the other was Post Drive.... For years I was using both EQs and having things all over the ranges trying to get exactly what I wanted. I never did and usually everything somehow ended up with quite radical (and unusable at loud volume) settings and I would have to start over. And over. Soo many times.....
Well, my conclusion was to
just use one or the other. As in, Zero out the regular EQ and do what I can with the Graphic, or Zero out the Graphic and use the regular EQ. My best results came from using the regular EQ and then maybe only using the Graphic for just one or two bands that needed just a slight tweak; nothing radical. There is such a thing as doing too much, and I seemed to have fought with that for too long!
Now, I'm not saying there's necessarily a Right Way or a Wrong Way here, but if you find it to be a real struggle to dial your own sound in then perhaps this idea will help.
