I found a couple that appear to be the right size pins, do I want Shorting or Non Shorting on my latching switch?
Here's what I found:

UPDATE: The mouser switch I referenced earlier is NOT the right one....I'm searching for the correct size. See the pix below, for the one I took out and the one from Mouser

By chance, do the Marshall JMP-1 or MESA Boogie Triaxis happen to use the same screws? If so, you can strip them down for that, plus any working tubes.

Quote from: rnolan on September 06, 2024, 05:24:38 AMThe one trick you'll like with the MP-1 running in stereo is, set the chorus depth 100 and rate 0, this gives a ~40ms delay and creates a really fat tone :metal: .

This is essentially what I do with the SCF on my pedalboard. BIG stereo guitar sound!

Man, that sucks.

A quick search brought me here: https://adadepot.com/index.php?msg=32968

I believe that is the information you seek. If Gregg doesn't have any left, I'm sure they're not impossible to find.

Best of luck!

Original MP-1 / Replacement screws for top and...
Last post by Lyates1987 - September 06, 2024, 08:45:50 AM
I took the time to re solder the input jack to the board on my MP1 and had the screws in a lil bag so not to lose them. Well that didn't prevent my lousy roommate from throwing them away thinking the bag was just trash. Now I have no screws for it. Just seeing what replacement options are avaialable

Hey Chase42147, the MXC should work with just a power adapter plugged into it.  That's generally how I program it (initially).  You can do a reset, set midi channel, set expression pedal (1 & 2) range and modify the CC# (if you want) for RTM CC stuff.  As well as check that the adapter is putting out 9v DC 500ma with a multi meter (as Harley said), maybe give the socket on the MXC a clean with contact cleaner (they don't get used often and can maybe gum up), and also make sure you have a snug fit and the right tip on the adapter cable.

So I've been a sound engineer for 44+ years and it is handy :thumb-up: . And maybe partly why I set up my MP-1 and MP-2 rigs with a mixer and run it like a PA, just made sense to me, made getting the gain structure easier and let me run the Quadverb in stereo in a parallel configuration.

So as the MP-1/2 are sort of "pseudo" stereo, as in the A and B outs are 180 deg out of phase, it does work better with separate cabs which are spaced apart (a rack width works ok).  I like some kind of separator in a single cab wired stereo to minimise any interactions inside the cab (e.g. I get a bit of comb filtering in one ADA slant split stack I have wired stereo, gets a little flangy, but it will be hard to put something in to separate the 2 x 12"s).  The one trick you'll like with the MP-1 running in stereo is, set the chorus depth 100 and rate 0, this gives a ~40ms delay and creates a really fat tone :metal: .
