Congrats!  There's a bit more available to tweak in an MP-2 over the MP-1, but it's still easy stuff to learn.  Be sure to DL the manual from here if you haven't already done so.  User Manuals and User Guides Vault (http://adadepot.com/index.php?topic=659.0)

Hey congratulations  :thumb-up: I'd forgotten about the macros feature until (was it Kim) mentioned them in another post and I was trawling through the manual for other reasons. I must have a look at that option sometime.  One tip (obviously subjective), I like the 2 x 12 cab sim out more than the 4 x 12. See what you think.

Does anyone have a list of the factory presets? I did some searching but found nothing. :dunno:
Title: Re: Finally did it!

Simple. Just reset your unit and you'll have them all right at your fingertips   >:D

Glad I could help  :wave:

No, I just wanted a list. The previous owner might have some presets I like so I didn't want to wipe them all out (yet). Why didn't they (ADA) put a list in the manual like they did for the MP1?

Not in front of my MP2 right now, but iirc you should be able to toggle the patches between User and Preset.  The Preset list will be the factory list.

Seems ADA only made a list of presets for the MP-1.Don't think there is a list for the classic?

Yep that's it.

I've never seen a list for the MP2. You could do a dump to PC and play around with the file (in notepad), I got some patches back that way once.

I got my MP2 on Monday :whoohoo!:. It sounds pretty sweet I must say :thumb-up:.
Now I need to either move my studio quad into the mp2 loop or hook up my Boss DD-3 :dunno:
Title: Re: Finally did it!
Post by: rnolan on March 31, 2016, 01:32:40 AM
Cool  :thumb-up: , I'd try the studio quad in the loop first up with just some light stereo delay and reverb... Good place to start. Though the GMaj2 is another good culprit...
What tubes are in it ?
Title: Re: Finally did it!
Post by: Soloist on March 31, 2016, 07:47:46 AM
Hey Richard, it has Sovteks in it now. Fairly new from what I understand.
I was thinking the same thing put the studio quad in the loop or tell my buddy I need my quadraverb back and throw that in there. I leant it to him a while back.

The sovteks should sound good, let me know what you think of them.  I can vouch for a Quadverb, been using one in my live rig for years.  I posted the settings I use with my standard MP2 patches (light stereo delay and a bit of chamber reverb), I find this quite usable for a variety of sounds. I used to use a nice long delay for solos but seem to have lost it over time.

Do you have a CC expression pedal you can assign to the stereo master (this can only be accessed by CC), I mostly use the one patch and use the pedal to turn it up for solos, also very handy at the end of songs etc to turn the volume off, though I could use the tuner mute on the Quadswitch.
