Yes it is and that's why an all tubehead sounds different.But i like both and i also enjoy both heads and MP-1's.Both have advantages and disadvantages.

Hey El, (BTW I still dont get the difference between that part of the MP-1 circuit and older all tube preamps) not sure if this is the answer to what you are asking ? the ADA preamps are logically equivalent to an old all tube amps input stage (preamp) before the phase spliter tube. So the power amp stage of these amps consists of a phase spliter tube (~12AU7) and output tubes (typically in even pairs (2/4/8 tubes) but must (normally) be a a pair for class B push pull, one for each side of the signal +/-) followed by an output transformer.

Yes I think that's sensible, but there are so many snobs out there it's irritating.  Music land is full of these snobs and I wouldn't get tired of slapping these people.

"What solid state noooooooooooooooooo".  I think that's ignorance since as we have rightly discovered even our full tube amp heads are intertwined with SS.  And also how many guys throw an SS pedal in front of a tube amp?  Well about a million legendary tones have been formed in this way.

Hey RG, they'll think what they like, just make "your" tones, as I will make mine  , as you have already said, make the sound "you" want, hey use a rockman  fun time... an old Marshall (doesn't sound as good as MP1/2) use a Boss thingy, hey whatever works for "you". Tube, SS again whatever works for the sound you want. Well my rant...
