Yeah, all my rigs sound great until I compare them to the ADA

    Just remember, EQ is your friend here. It helps get closer to your ADA tones if you spend the time to get the EQ curve as close as possible. I think I've done that with my Fender Cyber amps.

    @ Rick: I think you are looking at one of my live patches I made 12 years ago, give or take a year. They are some pretty raunchy tones!
I only have two brain cells left, ...and I'm saving them for the weekend!

Interesting you're setting most all 9-band EQ's to zero to obtain a more direct/unflavored tone.
I remember Ross (Singtall) doing that too to get a pretty damn good Rectifier tone, using voicing 10 with gain and overdrive set all the way to the Sun.

Ahh, those proverbial internet beers; I quite a few floating around out there, should I ever meet those guys - or meat those girls :P ::) :amaze:

Funny you should mention that.  I randomly happened to come across an old video by Ross (Singtall) demoing the MP-2 Mesa tone (probably the one you remember) and in the comments he said his settings were:
"warm high gain preamp, drive 100, od 100, master 55, lo +2, mid -6, hi 0, pres +2,  no graphic eq at all!"

I tried it and it sounds really good, so I thought I'd pass it along!

I remember that video. He was spot-on with that Mesa tone

I guess I know the first patch I'm gonna try when I bust out my ol' MP-2 (waiting on a new power amp to go with it). I like the Warm High Gain voicing, use it a lot
