Hey DjC, here's one that SC sent the link to (https://spacecoast.craigslist.org/msg/6006447168.html) IMHO, a MP-2 in decent working order with the MXC pedal pack at $450 USD is a decent deal. Now with MP-2s there is no replacement transformer (like MDRT for MP-1/MB-1 which works with either 110v, 117v or 240v). So you need to be cognoscente of the units voltage. I'd be tempted to buy this one except it's US voltage (Florida), and I already have a couple of MP-2s
.
Now you have 2 RUs spare, an MP-2 and a 1RU line mixer (with stereo Fx send/return), do a Y split of the guitar signal say after your tuner, or A/B A+B switch (so both MP-1/2 inputs fed), outs to line mixer, FX works on both, use patches to control each of them (on/off/both/clean/dirty etc), line mixer to poweramp
.
Or you could go the MP-1 Classic which is a bit like a MP-1
but with some of the added extras that came with MP-2, and are (if I understand correctly) the last/latest ADA midi preamps made.
