All the preamps run into a line mixer in the rack. Preamps are selected by a Voodo Lab amp selector on my pedal board. All fx switching is done by my Voodo Lab ground control pro. It's the simplest setup I found for running all this gear.

So it's all manual switching?

[Soloist]

Yes (sort of) you manually stomp 2 buttons; you select which preamp or preamps, then use the GCP to select patches via midi. Patches include the preamp patch and multi fx patches and or bypasses. Here is what my pedalboard looks like

[MarshallJMP]

Do you mean a GCX?

[Soloist]

No, no GCX in my rack.
1 fx unit is in the MP2 fx loop only. Another fx unit is in the mixer fx loop and the last unit is after the mixer. This way all my cleans use the MP2 and Lexicon, then I can step on the amp selector to change from cleans to dirty tone using MP1, JMP1 or GSP1101 with my tc electronics fx.
1 patch but 2 different tones.

[MarshallJMP]

Ah ok, so all your fx are either in a loop of a preamp or in the signal path? So no looper.

a little update



just wondering, does the mp1 fit in a skb or gator shallow rack? i wanna put it on top my jcm 800.

Nice Gear  :thumb-up:


According to the Manual, a MP-1 has a depth about 269mm
According to this: https://www.skbcases.com/music/products/prodlist.php?c=114&s=80 an SKB-Shallow-Rack has a depth of 271,8 mm

I do not think, this will fit very well :/

Hey Chamai, nice gear  :thumb-up: .  The older (and now not easy to find) SKB ATA racks are in between the new shallow and deep racks at 40.98 cm (15.94") and are just right for ADA preamps (MP2 26.67 cm (10.5"), MP1 is about the same.  The deep racks are way too deep, and there's not allot of wriggle room in a shallow rack. You need to check both the front to back depth (rail to rail) and also how much additional room is in the lids (for cables etc). Gator had a 36.2 cm (14.25") when I looked a while ago (but don't get one with the locking front back lids, they are a real pain to put on/off  :facepalm: ).  The new SKB Roto racks (look like nice racks) are either shallow 27.18 cm (10.7") or deep 44.7 cm (17.6").
So MP1 with jacks is about 33.7cm (neutrix jack ~70mm (bit that pokes out)), or if you use right angle jacks 28.6 cm (~20mm pokes out)

I use the SKB Roto racks, they're shallow (a flat removable panel on the back) but ADA Gear does fit. My midi cables needed right angles, but that's it.

thanks guys. man, rack cases are so expensive new, going to find myself a used one.

off topic. just plugged my mp1 into the low input of my jcm 800 for the first time.

holy shit, it sounds amazing. its great i can use the controls on the jcm 800  to shape my tone even more

i hope i am doing this right. flip the switch towards the front panel for instrument level right?

it sounds insane.
