R,been playing with my mp-2 as well so could you post some clean presets that you use?

110 below is same as in MP2 patch post and same NOTE these depend very much on the guit PU settings and sound VERY different with just a standard PU selection (and not necessarily clean, so will need tweaking to accommodate (eg back off guit vol, use out of phase/coil split settings)).
Guit = Anderson Pro Am (basswood body), neck PU and middle PU = Ultrasonic Ref3s (both single coil sized dual coil).  Each PU has 3 way toggle (series/off/parallel), for this patch I have Neck series, Middle parallel. And the most important is the Middle PU is as far away from the strings as it goes (this was a happy accident as it's wound down into the guitar to be out of the way of my pick, then I tripped over how good it sucks the volume switched in parallel with the neck PU full blown series and gives a great glassy sound)
MP2 Clean patches

Hey Dante, I also posted these 4 patches (01, 16, 110 and 111) in the MP2 patches topic

[Dante]

Thanks Man!!

I'm going to try those this weekend. I am trying really hard to get my MP-2 back into the main rack, but the MP-1 Classic seems to be winning the battle right now. Maybe these patches will help  :dunno:

:ada-big:

Ahh choices choices LOL Try my rhythm/lead post and old rhythm lead (112 and 113) as well.  112 is a great all round rock patch, back of vol knob to clean it up a little or crank for solo. It's the one I use 90% of the time and I ride the midi master vol with the MXC pedal.
