 I owned an MP-1 years ago and used a Marshall 9200 with it, i ended up selling it. Lucky for me i recently found one locally with the MC-1 for $150 usd and picked it up. I forgot how badass these preamps are, they have a unique rawness that I've never been

able to get out of any other amp. Now I'm itching for a power amp. I remember the 9200 thinning out when i would crank up my rig. Do any of you guys have experience with the 2/90/2? whats your thoughts on it? I just want the rawest fattest tone possible.

I think Marc Diglio from XYZ had the best ADA tone, especially on their second album, Hungry.

My personal preference for MP1/2 are ADA B200s or the Carvin TS100, both are great amps cranked or otherwise.  After many years with a B200s (one channel needs resurrecting), I now have a Carvin TS100 and it's great  but quite heavy (albeit half the weight of the ADA T100s).  Carvin also make a 1 RU 200w a side switched power supply amp that would also work well and is the smallest and lightest (both B200s and TS100 are 2 RU).

I've wanted a Carvin TS100 for awhile, but have not yet convinced myself that it will sound *that* much better than what I already have, so I haven't pulled the trigger on one (but I probably will some day). 

That said, I use a Peavey Classic 50/50 power amp (EL84) that I think sounds very good, has some useful features, and has been rock-solid.  Plus, they are usually very inexpensive!

Thanks for the replies! I really wanted a 2/90/2, but i decided to save myself some money and bit the bullet on an ADA B200s for $130. Lets hope this thing rocks!!! I'm excited to get my stereo rig up and running!

The B200s (if working normally and they are pretty rock solid) will sound great with the MP1, very transparent power amp with plenty of grunt

VHT/Fryette,Mesa,Engl, Soldano is theonly wayto go

It will sound great in stereo (much better than mono) and the B200s is a great amp,
