Heads up; I have updated the whole sh'bang. The Depot, our Databases, EVERYTHING. It should be easier to read on a phone now (responsive layout) and I have re-enabled user registrations. Hopefully, we can leave it on.

Feel free to comment here for things I didn't bring over that you want. Like, I need to reconnect our smileys....stand by, I'll find it ;)

MP-2 / Re: My Trusty MP-2

Whelp, the gig went great. Kinda slow, but it was a Thursday night, so...

The owners of the place said we were great, want us back on a weekend (that is exactly what we asked for, but we had to take a Thursday to get our foot in the door)

The MP-2 ROCKED just fine. My wireless was a PITA! kept cutting out. Luckily, I bring a cheapo wireless I got from Amazon for $40 and it worked the entire gig (surprisingly). Soundman was excellent, stage volume was great, never touched the volume knob all night

This is funny; I had my MP-2 and MT200 running my 2x12 cab on my side of the stage and my two 1x12s on the other side, behind the bass player. I had my Peavey head sitting on top of the two 1x12s in case I needed it (in case the MP-2 died on me). The head was not plugged into anything, in fact, the speaker wire and the power cable were on top of the amp, under the handle....so, you could see nothing was hooked up. My bass player thought those cabs were too loud and turned down the volume on the Peavey head! Haha....I showed him the MT200 and said, "Channel B is running those speakers, just use this knob"

And...I forgot to get a pic of the setup (I'm so bad about getting gig shots). We have a gig on Saturday at a local pub that usually has bands outside, but it's supposed to rain Saturday, so I'm sure we'll be inside on a tiny stage. Maybe I'll remember to get a pic there. Here's a pic from a guy I know

My parts showed up for the MT100, I'll fix that later today

Hey Dante, sounds like the go  :thumb-up: .  I've come down to about 4 patches also, similar setup, clean, crunch, ultra (which used to be my rhythm sound), and I have another with auto wah.  FX I have just been using a light stereo delay and room reverb.  But I need to find a couple of new patches for some of the songs we are doing, so while I'm doing that I wouldn't mind trying some of the tones you've cooked up  ;) .  I'm also keen to try the macro (one of 5 built in) that keeps the volume the same just increases/decreases the gain as you move the expression pedal.  I've never tried them (the macros), always meant to but have never got around to it.

It seems like I had my MP-2 'gone thru' but my memory - she is not so good looking. It's running great right now, so....YAY, and I'm being gentle with it.

I'll be glad to share patches...Right now, I'm only using FOUR patches. My head has 4 voices (Clean/Crunch/Distortion/ULTRA), so I just emulated that with my MP-2.

The magic is in the multi-effects, different EQs, effects, etc. that I can toggle on/off like a pedalboard. I get 4 at a time, plus a boost and a delay set for each patch.

Previously, I'd run with 10 patches plus my quad switch for toggling effects. Somehow, the way I run now is way more versatile....less is more

Dante,

If you need a loaner while you get your MP-2 reconditioned and fully reliable, I'll send you one of mine.

  All you'll have to do is a sysex dump and you'll have all your presets right there. Just say the word.
