Rig Pix

[rnolan]

My best friend just sold off his guitar rig so he could go back to playing bass, I tried to get him to grab an MB-1 but he doesnt share the love for old rack gear that we do here. Oh well...  :poop:

His loss  O:-)

+1  , MB1s are awesome (not that I needed too much convincing LoL)

Good to go Primal,

    IF you can get your hands on the MXC Midi controller, a Quad Switch and a CCP pedal, you'll be able to open up the RTM functions in the MP-2.
    I disagree with Richard on the volume pedal function though, I wasn't very impressed with that function with the CCP, it works great with the Wah function though. I prefer to use a dedicated volume pedal with mine. The results are much smoother.

    @ Soloist: If you are talking about the one on ebay, I don't think that guy really wants to sell it. $500 + shipping is way too much for that. 

[Soloist]

@ Harley  that wasn't the one. I found one for $400 + shipping. Still too much :(

@ Harley  that wasn't the one. I found one for $400 + shipping. Still too much :(

There is one on Reverb for $296 with almost $50 shipping.

At $160 I guess I got a good deal on mine!

   Even that is still a bit steep

In good condition with pedal set $500 AUD is (IMO) a fair price for MP2, so $160 USD (no pedals) is a good deal.  So while at $296USD = ~ $400 AUD is not a steal, it's still an ok price.  These were $2.5k AUD in their day. Shipping is always a killer though, particularly to Australia  .  Also you can't get transformers for them so one of mine is US voltage and I have to use a step down transformer with it, not ideal...

Hey Harley, I use the vol pedal all the time, I've never used it for wah, it's a bit stiff for that but for master vol I find it perfect.  Also it's attenuating (stereo) master vol, not input vol like standard vol pedals.
Now I'm mucking around with MB1s I really miss having the vol pedal.

Uh...I think this is the place for rig pix

Notice: I put the MP-2 in my big rack, for the big cabinet. The Classic is going to be paired with my Marshall 1x12 combo

Updated rig pic with the G-Force in there....

How many units is that rack, looks really big ! How do you transport something like that?

With a dolly, because you won't have any friends to help you carry that thing! 

[Soloist]

I use 15 out of the 21 slots in that Grundorf rack.
It's on some heavy duty casters and rolls like a dream. We have a cube van with an electric lift gate for transporting our gear around, so no lifting involved!

[MarshallJMP]

Wow great, I thought my 16U rack was big.

So I see you use a lot of fx and preamps, what's your favorite one?

[Soloist]

My ADA MP1 is my favorite preamp. Nothing else sounds like an MP1!
I haven't spent enough time with the G-Force yet (still setting up patches for it).
Each fx unit has it's areas where it shines, but overall so far the G Major 2 has the best all around fx without over coloring my tone.

[MarshallJMP]

What do you use to switch it all,or is it going to a mixer?
