MP-2 MIDI Tube Guitar PreAmp


The ADA MP-2 offers a versatile pallet of 10 tube voices ranging from ultra clean and bright, to funky compressed, to "over the edge" saturated distortion. The voices serve as the basis upon which tone is developed, and further shaped into new sonic textures with the on board signal processing effects.
All of the MP-2's processing is done in the analogue domain to insure the best possible tone with the most dynamic range and lowest noise, even at high gain settings. MP-2 cames with an on board wah-wah effect, which can be triggered, swept automatically or controlled with a Midi Continuous Control Pedal.
A fully programmable compressor, a stereo chorus, the tremolo and a noise gate/fader can be set for each program.
The MP-2 includes a stereo effects loop with programmable mixing and panning of wet and dry signals.
The EQ consists of two sections: the classic tone controls (Low-Mid-Bass- Presence) and a 9-band graphic EQ.
