Hi ADA people ! What a good surprise !
I didn't know ADA preamp. I used tu play on a Orange Crush Pro 120 (Solid state) a Hugues & Kuttner Grandmeister 36.
Last week, we played on an "open stage" (where ever bands can play) and I played on a Marshall JCM800 old like my regretted grand mother. It was so good ! I made lots of researches on the net, and by chance I read some comments about ADA MP1 preamp : "The best sound ever", "Vintage 80's sound", "Not for metal"...
So I looked on the net to find one. One was for sale at less the 500 meters far from home!
That was a sign to me!
I'm found of that sound !
So, here's my newly guitar gear !
Gretsch Electromatic
Dynackord EQ3310
Berhinger Composer Pro XL (comp)
ADA MP1
FX loop : TC Electronics M-One
Berhinger Composer Pro XL (noise gate)
Marshall EL84 20/20
Peavey Valveking modified to 2X8ohms
Berhinger FCB 1010 Foot controller
next things to change : multi FX to get a true guitare FX, find a better cab.
Who said the MP1 is not for metal? I bought it for metal :lol: Because I read it was good for metal. That's how I got onto MP1's.
I guess ultimately I got an MP1 to provide me with those boosted Marshall sounds. May be I got it wrong.
He said that it was too noisy for metal ! Ahah !
What's your patch for a metal tone ?
I've got it for two days, each time I try it, I love it !
I've a few patches for metal. One I recorded on the other day can be found on this thread

9 post down in the thread you will find settings I used for what I would describe as hi gain distortion for the ADA Mp1, there is also a recording of a song using the settings
Statcho,
Welcome to the asylum, your cookies are by the window :wave:
Cookies by the Windows :o
Oh, I see.. oh well, good for me I'm on Linux :))
Welcome in here, dude, and indeed, the MP-1 was made for metal - though I've heard some even use if for pop.. :dunno: :lol:
Hey Statcho, welcome to the depot :wave: . You can play pretty much any style with the MP1, very versatile preamp. The noise mod/MDRT that RG is doing at the moment is a good idea particularly for higher gain sounds.
