Description

The ADA MP-1 is a legendary rack-mounted MIDI programmable tube preamp from the late 1980s, celebrated for its warm, saturated overdrive and versatile tone shaping. Featuring dual 12AX7 tubes, digital parameter control, and built-in MIDI functionality, it allowed guitarists to store and recall presets—a revolutionary feature for its time. Its signature sound became a staple in the rigs of many hard rock and metal players, offering everything from sparkling cleans to searing lead tones with precision and punch. My favorite settings for the ADA MP-1 rack preamp.

Excellent for some good bay area thrash riffing!
