Hi Guys, I was on the old ADA Forum and a few years ago picked up a stock 1.38 that already has noise mods.
It sounds great Tube Clean and Pushed Cleans to milder OD on Dist Settings.
I will be recording with it and would like to get the Gain up to about EJ/Gilmour Levels very clear, asking
a lot from the Unit....
Unit came with JJ 83s the shortplates .
Question there is a slight harshness when Dist Channel pushed a bit but sounds much better than most clips- on my H&K Tubeman the JJ 803s made the Gain more clear like a cranked Output Section can on some Amps- will this do the same on MP1.
I am recording into CAB IRs not speakers except monitoring.
What is clearest Distortion Tube type and brand for this ?
Clearest Mod I heard was KorB who did an ENGL MOD but warmer and clearer than ENGL.
I am looking for Tube with clear Distortion, Thanks.

See reply (http://adadepot.com/index.php?topic=543.0) :wave:
There are lots of Tube options and opinions (for now, have a browse through the MP1 section, over time I'll move/copy some of the tube discussion to the new All Things Tube area). There's also a post where MikeB and I experimented (well no experiment now he's sold...) with an ADA GCS-3 cab sim in the MP1 loop for recording/direct on stage etc., works a treat and you get stereo cab simmed outs..
