Hey RG, looks like a very interesting gadget.

Had I not got too many preamps already I'd have a look at this you know.  I like the workman like design.  It's kinda straight up no messing about.  Here is a knob for this, here is a knob for that etc.  Know what I mean?

Although to use this on the floor means long cable run to the power amp and we all know what that means?  Catering to these floor loving unit types 

Ok so you could set it on your power amp or something but kinda defeats the design of it being a floor unit right?

Give you an example.  When I went to Germany this year and used my Ibanez TK999ht I did not have it on the floor.  I had it in the loop of my FX unit using short patch cables.  Not ideal as it was a floor pedal but I didn't need it in front of me so why use long cable runs?  I just set it on top of my rack case along with an eq pedal and noise gate after it.

Hey RG, I agree, I like it's no messing about design and it would have been perfect back when I used my Marshall head which had no channel switching or master volume etc.  Back then I had a few pedals and long cable run and you have to get power to them  .  A real pain when you are doing gigs with a bunch of other bands and have to pack down as fast as possible.  The MP1 solved a bunch of my issues, still had the midi cable but it included the power for the MC1/MXC.That said, nice to see a tube/analogue pedal in amongst the mix for those that run a pedal board setup.
