[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Who can? 😎🕺

[@powercourageandwisdom]

Man, this brought back memories. I used an ADA MP-1 when they came out circa. 1990 and still have it in one of my old refrigerator racks. I have no complaints and loved the crunch and sparkling cleans. Great compresser in it as well. Ran it through the Rane SM26 mixers with multi effects processors, Sonic Maximizers, eqs, Hushes, Korg tuner and VHT stereo power amps. I loved the midi platform. I later opted for a second monster rack with top shelf processors and soldano X88R preamp / VHT tone. All that shit has been sitting in my garage for the past 20 plus years along with all my cases of orange and Marshall full stacks, Marshall, Peavey, Soldano, Mesa Boogie and Fender heads. Not to mention the 50+ pedals I somehow "collected". I just can't bring myself to sell any of it. I need to inventory all that crap someday. It's hard to believe my main amp is now a Fender 5E3. In my cover band, I use a Marshall DSL40 combo with a minimal pedal board. Fuzz, Wah, Tuner, Tschula in front of the amp and two pedals in EFX loop; a delay and reverb pedal that also has and can switch between rotory / Chorus / and univibe with the reverb. Crazy ... Deuces .. ✌️

Cool man! I hear ya 😎🤟.

[@AlexRamosDrTaz]

Takes me back to my early 90s high school daze! Had a friend who owned a MP-1 and ran it through the Return jack of a 2 channel JCM 800 half stack! He paired it with a Jackson Soloist. Really mean but well defined distortions for the period.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah! Thanks!

[@michaelphickey]

Euge, just caught this excellent video! Brings back memories. 🙌🏼 Lots of players used a rack-mount BBE Sonic Maximizer with the ADA MP-1. The BBE Lo Contour for low-end thump and the process control for crisp / percussive highs. Thanks for making awesome / entertaining videos.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yeah I used to have one back in the day on my rack too 😎👌.

[@phitownhustler4802]

Correct The MP-1 with a BBE 462 and a HUSH Super C is the classic 80s rack and thats what I have in my old rig. I run it though a Rocktron SS power amp or a Marshall Jubilee or the Boss Katana head. Always sounds great for an 80s metal workout. My MP-1 also has the Marshall mod which turns it more into a JMP-1

[@JamesStreetStation]

Kramer guitars > ADA MP-1 > Alesis Quad > BBE 362 > Celestion loaded Laney 4x12 cabs was my primary rig in the late 80's and early 90's. Today I've opted for Fractal units as an all-in-one solution and I haven't been disappointed so far.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Whatever does the job 🤟.

[@larslevinberget9558]

The MP1 is a tone benchmark ... designed by Todd Langner (RIP) who also modified amps in the San Fransisco Bay Area. The pre-eq was a must along with the Rocktron Hush II for the noise, and the BBE for the oomph, especially when using a transistor slave amp like the Carvin FET 900. The clean channel with the compressor and the stereo chorus could do both Roland JC120 and Rockman tones. Great video Euge!!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed. Thanks!

[@donsmith5385]

Hi Euge! I enjoy your channel. I hope you explore the A/DA in stereo mode, that is where the chorus really shines! I bought my Boss ce-2 new in 82, there is a difference running the chorus in front or in the loop, but the amp-1 chorus really comes alive in stereo!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah I figured that I need to try it in stereo ’cos I guess that’s how it was designed 👌.

[@philfrank5601]

This was supposed ro be my first rig back when I started circa early 90s. A local guy had this and a Digitech DSP 128, and was looking for "five bills" for both, as he put it. I thought it sounded great, but I literaly had zero idea how to use any of it. I didn't know what a preamp was, let alone what each device did. I had a Boss pedal and a solid state Fender and that was it, so this thing was a literal monster. I chose not to buy it, but instead bought his back collection of guitar magazines, full of songs and articles. Paper internet, basically. Those magazines were how I learned evrything in those early days, and was probably the right move at the time since I'm still playing today Still, I kinda wish I picked it up. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🙏🤟👌😎

[@AndGuitar]

Great playing and demo of the ADA! I have always loved the MP1 and have 3 of them now and only one has got noisy but still love it!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@MercutioUK2006]

Of course it sounds good, you make all that stuff work ;-) Brilliant preamp in all seriousness, universally tweakable and it's amazing to me that some folks even went so far as to mod them! You should have grabbed a BBE for ultimate 80's tone....

[@EugeValovirta230V]

😎 Thanks! Yeah I used to have one back in the days 👌.

[@eloyc.4354]

I always wanted one and I just bought it yesterday! 😊

[@user-dm3xm7jw9s]

This gets a thumbs up from me! Awesome tone and killer riffs.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks J!

[@JRP3music]

I recently started using my ADA MP-1 again for rehearsal. I had 2 of them. Used Rocktron Replifex and Intellifex with a Real Tube II preamp for the fx loop. Powered by the Tube Works MosValve amp. I sent the out of the ADA MP-1 to my stereo fx and send to my Two Notes Torpedo Cab M plus (stereo pair). I split the non speaker out to dual Orange Micro Terrors and 2 1x12 cabs. Still sounds killer. I use a TC Electronic Iron Curtain noisegate. The PA/Recorder hears virtual 6L6 power amps and Marshall 4x12 cabs.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool!

[@JackStolz]

Man the GE7 is such an awesome icing on the cake for this tone. Love that pedal for stuff like this.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah!

[@rocksoundrepair8644]

Great Video! Thank you so much. I need to install the noise reduction mod to my ada mp1, too. But I personaly realy like the internal Chorus of the mp1. It's fantastic when you use it in stereo and it might get a bit to 2-dimensional in mono, like most Stereochorus do when connected in mono mode. It's not simular to a JC120 or Boss CE1, more modern and aggressive, but it's a great addition to classic Choruspedals, that we all love but probably allready heard to often.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@SolarWarden88]

Great playing and video brother! If you can, you should try the ADA MP-2 next. It's harder to come across, as the production volume on the MP-2 wasn't as high as the MP-1, but to me, it's the more aggressive and "fuller" MP preamp lol. It doesn't have the cult following like the MP-1, but it's a MUCH deeper and usable unit than the MP-1, many more features. Keep the content coming my man!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@gerrydaly5409]

Excellent review + That song at the start of the video is really good. I own the same preamp - thanks for sharing your settings.

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

The way I came to the MP-1 was not via 80s records at all: it was via the Deftones album Around the Fur, which has an absolutely monstrous rhythm sounds and apparently used an MP-1. I was trying to replicate the tone, and I just could not get it right. I replicated the tone and produced an impulse response and whilst it sounded kind of right.. initially I thought my playing just sucked because it sounded far messier than the album, but after switching from my Marshall to an MP-1 profile on my Kemper (which may not necessarily be accurate) somehow it magically smoothed out all my playing to sound far better. Ever since I’ve fallen out of love with Marshall and really want to get a real MP-1.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🤟

[@jescowhite6047]

Sick riffs, leads and tone again Euge! Highly enjoyed the video. Sounds like fun to play these ADA units, but when you compared it to the 800+SD-1 in the end, man, the JCM800 provided a kick in the nuts that the ADA sound seems missing a bit. Does ESP still release the 4-knob Eclipses? They're much better looking than the newer 3-knob Eclipses i.m.o. ~Fabian

Picked one up for $150 USD a few years ago. Amazing how things go out of style... The price may drop but the value is still there with these, for sure. At first, I was using it for the usual high gain madness but before trading it, was fooling around and able to cop some surprisingly good low to mid-gain tones as well. Not gonna beat a 5e3 but still not bad. Would love to have another someday but good luck finding one for $150 lol

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@moogsify5718]

Is this the preamp testament used on souls of black to get their vicious high gain tone if you know by any chance? Trying to get their tone and apparently this is what does it...

[@ivsiguitarist]

Holy shit, I used to love my MP1...that thing could do anything for the time.

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

That’s definitely the sound that I love! It reminds me a lot of Doug Aldrich mixed with Zakk Wilde. I know I’ve seen you do a demo of the guitar years ago but what are the pick ups it has? EMG pick ups?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! 🙏. They’re EMG 81 & 85.

[@jrg770]

I never got along well with my ADA MP-1 and sold it around 2018 for $250 Canadian. You know what else ? I had a Marshall JMP 2203 (pre JCM 800) ( I paid maybe $400 in late 80's) and never really got along with that either. I sold that Marshall for $350 Canadian. That was in maybe 1995 but nobody wanted them back then. Now I found your channel and it seems I should have kept both of those units and figured out how to use them better because Euge's tones are exactly what I like. I could never get them to sound like this though. Too bad for me lol.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Damn you 😎

[@kaish8184]

1- What are the differences between line input and instrument input? 2- why did you do noise mod instead of upgrading 2.01 eprom?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Line input is for line level signals (keyboards, line out from audio interface/mixing console etc.) I didn’t do anything; I bought it as it is

[@ArtbyPaulPetro]

as always just amazing killer riffage! i remember when those came out...if I recall correctly not long afterwards Marshall came out with their own rack mount preamp...am i remembering right?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yeah it was the JMP-1, which I had back in the day 👌.

[@markmillan581]

I have been comparing the A/DA MP-1 vs, Digitech VGS 2120 Artist Preamp I like the A/DA MP-1, I like the A/DA Cleans, which tube overdrive sounds better?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I haven’t played with the Digitech so I have no idea. I guess you should know which one you like the most since you’ve compared them?

[@Bash_Man]

Very nice Euge. Awesome preamp. I've got 2 of them. LOL. One of them modded for 3 tube mod. I suggest reaching out to a user name MarshallJMP off of the ADA Depot site to hook you up with a 3 tube modded MP-1 to demo on your channel. The tube was awesome. Very much in the style of Zack Wylde no rest of the wicked and similar tones as well. Keep em coming.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah I think he had done the mods on this one. Thanks!

[@mcoon1987]

Pretty sure Steph from Deftones used one of these for a bit. I’m really impressed by the sound you get here, tons of low end. I wonder how much the TSL is contributing to that. Great demo!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yeah the power amp is always part of the tone too especially when cranked so the power tubes are really working 💪.

[@CFChristian]

From what I remember he used one during Adrenaline era but I have no idea how much it contributed to his tone. I believe he switched to a Marshall JMP1 for Around the Fur.

[@tiagoandrade5826]

Steph used it not for a bit. He actually used it on the first three albums, using also jcm800 to power it. Then he changed for a marshall valvestate power amp (9100 I think).

Thank you so much for making a video! I just purchased my first ADAMPmp-1 one preamp. And I am having some issues. The unit I have has no switch in the top to switch between inputs.

Any advice would be appreciated thank you for your time.

I still have my MP1. So far had to update the EPROM chip and replace the battery to hold memory. Still kicks! But, I notice that notes in the higher register, like if you playing around the 12 to 17 frets on the high E string notes cancel out. Do you ever get that??

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Nope.

[@SM-cg2jt]

Sounds great! For about a decade I used an ADA through a Marshall 9000 poweramp and boosted it with a Proco Rat and an Alesis Quadraverb. I was always happy with it until my roommate at the time got the Marshall JMP1 and I preferred that over the ADA. I still have both units and use them to record.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool!

[@tiagoandrade5826]

Im very curious about what made you change to jmp 1

[@SM-cg2jt]

I liked the ADA, but the Marshall seemed to cut through with a more natural tube amp tone. I wasn't so happy with the marshall clean but the crunch channel to me was better. I was lucky enough to be able to have a side by side comparison since the other guitarist on my band at the time had one.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah! If you have an IR loader that can take the hit / power from the amp then all you need is that. Or if the amp has a direct out then you can connect that to an audio interface and use a software IR loader like STL Tones’ Libra for example 👌. Check what the amps manual says about unplugging the speaker; with some you can do that but with some a load (speaker / loadbox) needs to be connected.

I've owned 2 or 3 ADA MP1s and even a Three Tube Modded one (which was the best of em).

Lately I checked for their current pricing and thought, I should have kept one .. :D I also modded some of them and changed Caps which made them a lot quieter.

My brother has two MP-1s, one of whom is modified. According to him, Joe Satriani´s Surfing With The Alien album from 1987 is a typical showcase for the unit.

In the early 2000's, these things sold for $100-$125 on ebay all day long. Had 2 of them (original MP-1s) at one point. Sold them for $ 125 a piece best I remember, Wished I had kept them now just as an investment!

I have both MP-1 & MP-2. Love 'em both 😍🤘😎👍

Cool!

Actually I've been using MP-2 more recently than MP-1. Sounds more modern. Purchased 3TM mod kit for MP-1 but haven't installed it yet.

Can any other piece of equipment you know of (amp head, preamp, pedal ect.) get a similar tone to the ADA mp1?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Probably some other tube driven 80s / early 90s preamps. Marshall’s JMP-1 comes to mind which I owned back in the day.
