Title: ADA Rack back up and running...Finally
Post by: Axemane on June 13, 2015, 04:21:37 PM: It's been a while since I have been active on here. Had a few issues with the TS100s power amp so it's been no rack for me.

Until now.. ;D

Got the amp back and just hooked up my stock MP-1 into the TS100s. Delays and a MXR 10 band EQ in the loop.
Tuner - wah - tubescreamer - phaser - flange in front. Sounds fantastic ! No issues with the effects loop.

Minor tweaks on some of my patches from before and it's rocking again !

Totally digging it.

Nice tight tones and some lower/mid gain tones as well. Solo tone is the most awesome and where this unit shines IMO.

Nice one, I'm on a re-discovery journey too getting my rack up and going again after my departure from it in the early 90's.

Post by: Axemane on June 15, 2015, 12:38:31 PM: Right on Rusty . :metal:

I'm getting some really good tones with my setup. Pretty bare bones without the Gmajor2 or the PQ3 ( which is killer with the right setup).

I'm using the ADA rig in my cover band that plays classic rock/ hard rock etc. Zep, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, STP , etc. Digging the variety of the MP-1 although my patches don't change that much.

I'll try to record something at rehearsal.

Post by: Axemane on June 16, 2015, 07:48:32 PM: All I can say is.......the MP-1 rig is a laser beam ! Cuts through and sits perfectly in the mix at band rehearsal. Had a really fun time tonight enjoying it. I think I used 2 patches and my volume knob........... :metal:

Post by: rnolan on June 17, 2015, 03:09:00 AM: Similar to how I do it these days with MP2, I use CC master vol pedal and 2 patches, one clean the other for everything else (and with JPLP I use the vol knobs set 2.5 - 3)
