Members timmyfirst Posted December 26, 2011 Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 AMT SS is a great pre-amp or the Engl one. I've been looking at them to put together a solid and reliable euro-touring rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelYoung Posted December 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 MP1 dude, i've been thinking the same thing!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted December 26, 2011 Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 I used to have an MP1/9005 rig, and it sounded great, they work really well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelYoung Posted December 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 i bought a hafler t3 back awhile ago, and i'm just not feeling it. it's not got a lot of mid and my tone ususally lives within my mid settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeadNight Warrior Posted December 26, 2011 Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 What do you want to do that your Studio pre can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelYoung Posted December 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 the studio pre is more of a rich, smooth tone. It sounds great but it has it's own mark mesa voicing. I really want something that i can mix with it that is just straight out brutal with alot of saturation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeadNight Warrior Posted December 26, 2011 Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 I wouldn't think an MP-1 would really fit that, unless maybe you modded it (dunno how the mods sound, have only played a stock one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sleewell Posted December 26, 2011 Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 i owned an engl e530 before the studio pre i have now and it sounds like it could get you the sounds you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelYoung Posted December 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 teh engl sounds very good. The ada just sounds like the saturation that i'm looking for plus the engl seems to be around the 500 price range, which is alittle steep for me...haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sleewell Posted December 26, 2011 Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 yeah i would buy a modded ada mp1 over the engl for sure. i havent owned the ada (yet, lol) so i didnt comment but all the clips and comments are very, very good.

Members MichaelYoung Posted December 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 26, 2011 it's got more of that marshall throaty tone than the other preamps. I also thought the peavey rockmaster pre would be another good choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thenakedarab Posted December 27, 2011 Members Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'm pretty sure this is MP1 into a Marshall powersection. [video=youtube;fxODudCX7fw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxODudCX7fw That's what he was playing live during this time period, and it sounded pretty much the same live.

Members SteinbergerHack Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 anyone gig with the ada in a metal band? Modern metal or older stuff? It's the absolute deal for 80s and early 90s metal. Probably not enough gain for current high-gain stuff, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
