ADA MP-1 Channel

The MP-1 Clone
Imagine having the classic ADA MP-1 tone available on your pedal board. The new ADA MP-1-CHANNEL is a pedal version of the renowned MP-1 rack mount guitar preamp. The MP-1-CHANNEL employs the 4-stage vacuum tube design taken from our ground breaking MP-1 MIDI TUBE PREAMP to achieve the same rich tone that made it the staple for most of the touring bands in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The small package, a 12-volt power requirement and a true bypass switch make the MP-1-CHANNEL easy to integrate into your pedal board system.

The MP-1-CHANNEL’s pair of hand-selected, high-gain, low-noise 12AX7A vacuum tubes run at 270 volts to produce all the sound ofthe original preamp that caught everyone’s attention – from players to listeners.

Former MP-1 Guitarists
Paul Gilbert, Kirk Hammett, Vito Bratta, Jamie Glaser, Bill Connors, Wayne Johnson, Dave Mason, Bruce Bouillet, Vernon Reid, Steve Bertek – just to name a few – created their unique tone with the MP-1. Now you can do it with the MP-1-CHANNEL too.
