First AWESOME PLAYING  :thumb-up: wauw!!!!

Second,i think the mp-1 sounds warmer,the eleven rack has that nasty high pitched overtone that i hear in every modeling amp.My 2 cents.

Thxs! And yea i agree, the ada cuts more true the mix and sounds more "real". However, the eleven rack feels more liquid while playing.

Go shreddingjoris, great playing (and really good economy with your right hand BTW)  :thumb-up: Sonically, I preferred the MP1 for some reasons, and the 11 rack for others. I agree with MJMP. the MP1 sounds more warm (and more real partly coz it is real  >:D ). I think the liquid is more how the FX integrate in 11 rack, but I hear what you say, 11 rack is more liquid (not that you can't achieve that with MP1 and FX). They haven't done a bad job but it does lack a little realness (if that makes sense, maybe more to me coz I'm very old school these days).
Maybe a better comparison is 11 rack just preamp + chorus compare with MP1 + its chorus > same FX/Amp. I suspect the MP1 will win ??

attached Here's stock MP1/Alesi quadverb/IPS33 smart shift B200s stereo quadbox live to DAT > cassette > sample > mp3

I didn't use chorus on both settings, just some delay,reverb and eq. But yes the ada will always sound more real ;)! A 3tm probably will add some midrange liquid. The tone demo of yours sounds soooo ada ;) well done!

Hey Chamai, I'm assuming you are wanting schreddingjois's settings ?
The Rev Rock MP1 patches (in case you like them), the rhythm patch is probably the 1992 patch 102 I posted in MP1 patches. The lead I have to find again...
Cheers R

The lead patch is 106 (where did I write that one down LOL) which (IIRC) is basically a bluesier version and a little less gain than posted MP1 107 patch and also with a big delay..
