ADA Preamps > ADA MP1 Channel
This thing kicks ass
rabidgerry:
Am not really interested in the MP1 channel myself but I'm glad it sounds good but I was just wondering is it high voltage?
Like the Ibanez TK999HT or the Blackstar - DistX pedals are high voltage and I can vouch for them and say they feel like proper amp in boxes, the feel is amazing. Blackstar is very very dark though.

ADA reports 270V at tubes..
rabidgerry:
The MP1 channel is 270v? Are you sure you don't mean the MP1 with MDRT? I'm very surprised if that is the case.
****edit**** just checked the spec on the ADA Website and I see they say 270v. Very surprised at that. Still wouldn't buy one :lol:
When I was looking for something to take with me on the plane for a show in Germany this year I took the TK999HT as it has a great reputation and sound. I managed to get one last year for a good price. Same as the Blackstar.
I have never seen an MP1 channel go for what I would call "a good price" but now I know it is proper high voltage I might have considered it as a viable flight rig solution. The prices for them are insane, not available in UK ever and to buy one from overseas just isn't worth it.

MDRT runs tubes at 240V...but you've found MP1 Channel's specs on ADA site.
270V are true high voltage, indeed... :lol:

159 euros was a very reasonable price.
But I missed it...

Yes, you guys are on the money. It has less compression than the rack MP1 and I believe that is the greatest difference in tone. I know it is super pricey but the thing is a no BS pimped out MP1. I'm going to record with it and play live with it when I can, I suppose if I need to bust out the cabinets I can take the real deal with me, but when they just want me to plug into the PA I can just grab my piece of wood with all my crap on it and throw it in my car. I also don't care as much if this thing gets stolen, if someone stole my holy grail rack MP1 I would be in a real bad place, but this would just be more an inconvenience. The 3 MP1's I have each have their own thing going for them and this guy totally fits in the family, but I imagine just due to the pedal being modern that the tone variance is much less then trying to find another killer MP1 on reverb. If it did get jacked I wouldn't hesitate just buying another one from ADA and I'm pretty sure it would sound exactly the same. Being voiced slightly more modern I think it will allow me to get a real killer, unique high gain deathcore tone too in comparison to the rack.
I'm going to see if the definition pedal can add a little compression for me, if not I know I will at least have a great clean tone to fall back on when I turn off the MP1 channel. I'm just all stoked on ADA right now because most of the pedals I have bought in my life have been absolute garbage, just a complete waste of money, and for the first time I feel like I'm actually getting my moneys worth on this stuff. It's almost too good to be true , haha.
