Hi all,
Figured I would join in the conversation. The MP1 has caused my GAS, fortunately. I ended up buying 3 of them, a VHT 2/50/2, 2 EVH 4x12s, a pitchfactor and timefactor from Eventide for a little detune and delay for stereo, 2 Rane PE15s and a MPE14. I'm stoked because ADA is back making products and I got a GCS-5 as well for recording. It's all awesome and I love my tone. These MP1's are what I've been looking for my whole life, I grew up in the era rack gear wasn't being talked about anymore, and didn't even know these existed until 6 months ago. Getting back into playing after some time off with this rig has been great, totally re invigorated my playing and has made me excited again.
It even got me into soldering, I did a cap job on one of my MP1s and it actually went well! Once shipping restrictions are lifted I plan on purchasing some stuff from MJMP like the upgraded transformer and perhaps a tube board. I just love these things so much that I almost can't imagine the tone getting any better, but am very curious because of the excellent reviews I have seen here.
Just being in stereo is awesome, and playing those Skid Row riffs through this thing is nuts. If I close my eyes I can pretend I'm Scotti Hill! It does the modern metalcore thing pretty good too. I boost it with a SD-1 and a Boss EQ for my band and I am extremely pumped on my tone. Anyways, glad to talk to some fellow ADA fans!
