Looking to put my MP-1 back into a rig to use.  What's everyone using for Poweramp now days ? 

Thanks

Marshall 9200. 200W of stereo tube glory!

Nice setup there Shibiwan,
   That Charvel finish looks like something from a Sci-fi movie 

Thanks!

I've been cleaning up and restoring my old guitars. The Charvel has been with me since 1989. The flame maple top is spectacular.

Dante,

   All my MT 200s are either racked up or packed up at the moment. I can't recall the part number, but they are easy to spot.

   Take off the top cover and look for two transistors about an inch long. There are two for each channel. They look like a black square with a metal square the same size on top of it and a screw holds this down to the chassis. On the bottom of the black square there will be three legs soldered to a PCB. Those are the culprits.
  You should be able to read the part numbers on the front of the black square.

Richard,

   The string trees on a Strat can be a mixed blessing. They can help with stock post tuners, but with staggered post tuners, you want to take them off, (like I did with my 1980 STRAT).

Shoot! I thought it was gone by now.

There's no selection for a type of gate in the Classic, it's either on or off.

I've never heard of this kind of issue in the Classic though, this one is a first.

Thanks! Yeah - it's an odd behavior. I saw the other thread about gate issues and there were a few components listed there, so I'll start poking around that area this weekend when I have a chance.

Luckily the situation isn't too dire, since I have a regular MP-1 and MP-2 to keep me company while the Classic is out of commission.

The gate does sound quite nice on the overdrive voicing, since my standard MP-1 is a bit noisy in comparison. Ultimately if it comes down to it, I'd even be happy to just disable the gate entirely though so I can use the clean/brown voicings. I'll be sure to post if I can figure anything out, in case someone else encounters the same problem.

Hey Shibiwan, Nice  (so one black and one orange?)  Also nice setup, and some very nice guitars hanging around  .  How do the cabs sound?

The cabs sound great. Bought off Craigslist from two different local guys, so one orange, and one black. 😁

Classic 2x12 Celestion V30s in each one. Much more natural without having to roll back the tone when I was playing them through the FRFR Crate PA speakers.
