I'm glad it was taken care of. So many of these preamps have been trashed by their owners. The Depot is still around, you ought to drop in and say hello. We're missing the old guard around there.
That was a classic set up. I traded mine in for a mesa boogie tri axis, Simul 2:90 power amp, and rocktron intellifex. Fun stuff, but I like the Marshall dsl2000 and few pedals these days.🤘
I sold one of these things in like 2004ish. I absolutely loved it, but I moved into digital. Then a whole bunch of stuff in between happened, and now you got me wanting another one lol. Great video Robert!
I had an MP1 for a long time. Paired it with a Quadraverb and got great sounds. My teen years were the 80s and it was a great time. I started playing guitar in ‘85 and saw so many of those rock bands in their glory days.
I had one from 1988 to 1994. It was a great sound and easy to dial in and edit. I haven't seen much anymore than could compete with this thing. I ran mine into a Digitech DSP-128 into a Rocktron Hush-II into a QSC 1400 power amp into 2 Crate 4x12 cabs. Easy set-up, Great tone!
As a drummer who was playing in the 80s I can tell you these were a hot ticket item among guitar players that could afford them. Everyone thought the "Gallien Kruger" head alone could perform miracles, but rack effects were coming in to age as well. Nice vid....the opening music was hilarious!
@@BrandonEht Rush were the first two concerts I ever saw (Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures tours), so I'm biased to the clean/chorus tones he got from his Hiwatt DR103's. He started using the GK's on Signals, and other than Subdivisions and New World Man... it's not one of my favorite Rush album. I moved away from listening to Rush after Signals. But, if you dig it... cool!
The "Hairified" mod was done by a dude named Hairston who was on a community website called ADA Depot back in the early 2000's which had a forum to exchange ideas, troubleshoot, etc. It was a great site. Noise mod. I don't think the MP-1 is particularly noisy compared to other preamps of that era. The MP-2 is the noisiest thing on this planet, but at least it has a programmable noise gate built in. I have the MP-1, MP-1 Classic, and the MP-2. Great preamps. Cannot beat that chorus...it is totally wonderful. When the Mesa Boogie Triaxis came out, ADA was on borrowed time. The MP-1 could hang with the Marshall JMP1 preamp no problem, but the Triaxis was a simply next level MIDI tube preamp.. If ADA had put 3 tubes in it originally, history may have been different.
I gigged heavily in the early 90's and my rig consisted of the ADA MP1, ADA Microtube 200, ADA Microcab, and a Digitech TSR24, was awesome!! Every sound i needed, all controlled with just 1 midi pedal!! Good times for sure!!!
Dude, I have all that! I just dont know what power supply I need in order to use de midi footswitch. My gig is: jcm800 studio classic, ada mp1, Ada cabinet with a V30...
MP-1 was my first good amp that I traded my Peavey 50 watt (POS) in as down payment in early '87 @ Green River Music in Auburn, WA. I used it directly into a mixer for ages before getting a power amp to mate with it. Finally settled on a Mesa Boogie 20/20 that I still use for all my guitar pre's nowdays, Marshall Jmp-1, Mesa Triaxis and an AxeFx III. When my MP-1 finally ended up having a issue I had it modded with the 3TM mod, because you just cant have tooooooo much compressed gain sometimes. It is very amusing seeing younger players discovering 80's gear like we went through 60's - 70's marshalls and Hiwatts, etc.
Lexicon PCM 41&70 Eventide H3000 TC2290 Hamer Explorer BC Rich Mockingbird and of course DiMarzio SD,Dirty Fingers, Duncan JB or Schaller PUPs. Love this series on the Great 80's !
Yep. Had one of these... Also had an ART SGX, a Carvin Quad X, and Digitech Artist 2120 (still have). Those were the days... no money and no sense when it came to gear.
This is a great preamp. I'm using mine with a Fryette Power Station power amp and into a Mesa 212 cab. It sounds great with a Tube Screamer in front. I do use the effects loop on the Power Station instead of the MP-1, since the ADA's effects loop does suck tone. I believe Alex Skolnick used one of these on Testament's Souls of Black. The thing that's cool about this, even today, is that they are not doing software modeling to approximate the sound of a tube power amp. They ARE tube power amps, just with presets and MIDI capability. So, even today they sound great.
That ad from the magazine! That was on every issue I had. I wanted one but ended up with a Rocktron Pro GAP. Pornogtaffiti and the first Skid Row album were my favorite tones back in the day
Ha!! 1987 is when I graduated from high school and had my first band. I commented too soon. Love the bytes from Nuno and Skid Row. Hoped you would jump into the lead for Wait!! Has to be one of the best 80’s leads!! The cleans for Whitesnake sounded awesome. I actually thought you were going to jump in on some Jake E Lee and play Killer of Giants.
ADA.. such classic stuff. I used to have an ADA 2FX and had analog knobs on it for all the great 80's knob spinning swooooshes and swooops. Such great gear back then!
Oh, wow... I remember tearing out the magazine ads for this, pinning up to the wall & just dreaming of getting one. Never did get one, but that's okay. Thanks for taking me down that 80's time warp to simpler times. Another great video, Robert!! Thank you, as always!!!
Sweet! I wanted one of those so bad when I was a teenager. I think the first time I heard about it was Vito. I believe he ran it into some sort of mosfet power amp, and he used the BBE Exciter too, I think. Anyway, killer tones there, Robert! You ROCK!
You guys are the reason why an ADA MP-1 costs 5-600 euros today! :))) Luckily, I bought mine 5 years ago. I had one in the 90's and I always regretted I sold my old rack stuff. Today, I've all that stuff back!
Had an MP-1 with a Boss SE-50 in the effects loop back in the late 80s and early 90s. Ran it through the stereo power amp section of a Roland JC-120. Huge sound whith a couple of SM57s in a Y config to a 5000w PA. With the midi controller it was one of the most versatile rigs I ever had.
So good!! Lost count of how many times I was about to buy an MP1 and didn't...might as well pull the trigger on one! The sound on the first Skid Row record is still one of my favorites from the late 80s!
I have an ADA-MP1 and absolutely love it! Sometimes I like to put a Boss SD-1 in front for a boost, and man does it sound good! I also run an Alesis Midiverb in the effects loop.
Awesome! Great demonstration, Nuno’s Extreme II tone must be my all time favo rock guitar sound too. I still have my old school BOSS ME-5 and an early 90s N2 here. Always fun!
We had an mp-1 in our recording studio whenever some guy came in with a real crappy amp we would pull it out. Added a GSP 5 and a boogie 50/50 tube power amp.
Love it. Keep rockin the 80's!!! A piece of gear you have to try is Steve Vai's "Eventid" Ultra pre amp, processor. Looking forward to next week Brother!!!
Les Claypool (of Primus) used these preamps, modified for bass. The ADA MP-1 and MP-2 preamps played a significant role in his tone back in the day. I know this isn't a bass channel, but I had to mention it.
There was lots of thrash metal recorded with those but the used them in front of amps like distortion pedals , I saw flotsam and jetsam and Sacred Reich in Tampa Fl in 89 and one of the guys had one sitting on top of a Randall rg 100 and ran straight to the front , lots of guys modded them to get rid of that little loss of signal when switching patches , I know Jason becket and Marty Friedman used one on the first Cacaphony record
Mp1 is great !!!! I got one in my attic along with the ada mc1 footswitch. The question is whether any of the modern gear like fractal or line6 or boss gt or zoom can replicate the tone whereby you can’t tell the difference eyes closed 👍
Too funny, at the beginning I thought you were playing Parasite, which would be more like 70's and 80's and 90's etc. but then you changed it up. Fun video, thanks for sharing.
Had one bought it and a Rockman 2 channel preamp a wireless a rack tuner a Mosfet stereo power amp a rack and A 412 cab plus another power amp for $500.00. Traded everything in for about $900.00 worth of gear. Kept the Rockman and used it for a couple of years can't remember if I sold it or traded it. I think there was a Rockman noise gate also.
A friend of a roommate I had back in 95 for some reason I can't remember had Nuno Bettencourt's drivers license. The guy was the first person I knew who had an actual recording studio he built at the house he grew up in that he owned at the time when his parents died. I remember that at the time, the idea of having a recording studio was so beyond the what anyone could ever hope to have. I know he put well over $100,000 to build it. It's funny how now, you could probably record an album just as good as you could there in your bedroom. Of course he had isolation booths for drums and vocals that most won't are able to have in a bedroom.
A nice balance of gear geeking and music history! I still have an old ART SGE Mach II from the late 80's. When I thought I would never need to buy another piece of gear! hahahaha
Back when I first heard the term amp modeling and that a lot of people were crediting Line 6 as the first to the party and/or the inventor of the concept but my immediate thought was of ADA, TECH 21 with the analog Sansamp, the Rickman and the little Zoom 9002 I don't know who coined the phrase "modeler" first but Line 6 we're not even close in being first in mimicking a guitar amp Business
There was a website dedicated to the ADA MP1 and mods that can be done to them for a heavier modern tone. I had one and put some Ruby Tubes in it and it got nice and dark for metal.
Hey Robert, Check out Michael Wagener. He is a music producer who produced many artist's of the 80's and early 90's and was responsible for that 80's tone that we love!! 😎👍
"What should i do next?" One of these, would be rad! Guitar: Ibanez 540s (with the original IBZ/USA pickups) ; Amp: Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ or Mark III head (with EQ!) ; pedal: grey DOD 250
To your question on nuno’s tone, it is highly influenced by the bill lawrence l500xl bridge pickup. I’ve ordered two and they are quite articulate and bright
I'm a bass player who plays AT everything else. Back in the late 80s -early 90s I had a band that got label attention for a while....untik we didn't anymore. In that band, my guitar player's rig was this very preamp into the same multieffects unit you demo'd last time, into an ADA stereo power amp out to a pair of custom speaker cabs from a guy called DL Monsuen. So I'm curious how much of John's rig you're going to show off.
Would love to hear you try out a Mesa Studio Preamp. Edit: Welp wanted one to go with my Mesa and they've skyrocketed in price. Even the Mesa's shot up in value.
MP-1 to Boogie 50/50 to Crate full stack. Or Fender M-80 Pro head and Quadraverb or ART SGX into a Boogie 4x12 half open back with two 90w Black Shadows and two 150w Black Shadows and my pink HM Strat (pictured
I'm here. And it's 80's. And I love it.
Same here, the eighties Fucking rocked
Mid 80's- early 90's were the best.
I thought they were, then I heard Europe riches to rags!!
@@0megalul309 I'm also here. Far out this sounds good with that Friedman.
Michael Nielsen, Leon Todd, Robert Baker and everything 80s fanboy reporting in 😁
Lol I modded that MP-1. That is my chicken scratching on the top decal. Glad you guys are still enjoying it. Cheers Robert!
Oh man that’s so cool! You did a great job it’s really quiet
I'm glad it was taken care of. So many of these preamps have been trashed by their owners.
The Depot is still around, you ought to drop in and say hello. We're missing the old guard around there.
I agree. The late 80s through early 90s were the best music has ever sounded from a production standpoint.
I love the 80's, best era for everything imo!
I still use my ADA MP! thru an Alesis Quadraverb as my main rig! I have never made it past 1989!
The Quadraverb is one the best effects units ever made.
That was a classic set up. I traded mine in for a mesa boogie tri axis, Simul 2:90 power amp, and rocktron intellifex. Fun stuff, but I like the Marshall dsl2000 and few pedals these days.🤘
I sold one of these things in like 2004ish. I absolutely loved it, but I moved into digital. Then a whole bunch of stuff in between happened, and now you got me wanting another one lol. Great video Robert!
Between you and RJ with his Rockman video I'm in 80s heaven. Your intro/outro theme is so spot on.
This unit was part of my dream rig back in the days...
With a Mesa 50 50, a rocktron multi effect....
Rocktron HUSH, otherwise it sucked
Quadraverb.
Holy crap, I used to run my MP-1 into a Mesa 50/50 as well, but I just used a Lexicon Reflex and a DBX 266
I had an MP1 for a long time. Paired it with a Quadraverb and got great sounds. My teen years were the 80s and it was a great time. I started playing guitar in ‘85 and saw so many of those rock bands in their glory days.
Yup that was exactly my rig! Had two MP1's (a spare) and a quadraverb. That was in '89 until mid nineties...
The 80’s ..incredible bands incredible music like no other time .
I had one from 1988 to 1994. It was a great sound and easy to dial in and edit. I haven't seen much anymore than could compete with this thing. I ran mine into a Digitech DSP-128 into a Rocktron Hush-II into a QSC 1400 power amp into 2 Crate 4x12 cabs. Easy set-up, Great tone!
The song "One" also has that signature MP1 chorus as well, since Kirk Hammet used one on the And Justice For All album (as well as The Black Album).
As a drummer who was playing in the 80s I can tell you these were a hot ticket item among guitar players that could afford them. Everyone thought the "Gallien Kruger" head alone could perform miracles, but rack effects were coming in to age as well. Nice vid....the opening music was hilarious!
Oh man.. the GK that was like the size of 2 lunch boxes was such a small beast!
I remember seeing a GK for the first time and the guitar guy at the shop we were at was riffing some VH and we were like... oooooh
I still have my GK 250RL. I bought it because Andy Larocque from King Diamond used them on Abigail and Them. Screaming lead tone!
@@scottdunn2178 I love the Glassy sounds Alex lifeson got from the Gk. Great amp

"What should I get next?" Two words...
Kramer Baretta
this
Fender jazzmaster
Kramer Baretta VINTAGE because it's made out of freaking MAPLE
I bought one in '88. Roll back the treble and crank the presence. Total 80's.

How many Rockmans can I trade you ?
You have the market cornered!
Woah, woah, how many Rockmans do you have? Lol
I got some fulltones you can use. Don’t be scared. Silly boy
First day i got my ADA MP 1 i played all day and night. could not put it down. back then they were unbelievable!
I have an ADA-MP1 and absolutely love it! Sometimes I like to put a Boss SD-1 in front for a boost, and man does it sound good! I also run an Alesis Midiverb in the effects loop.
Really takes me back - I sold mine in the early 90s. Just used a DOD distortion into an Ampeg tube amp.
My roomie in college ('87) had an rackmount ADA digital delay. It was pretty fly. Captured the Satriani sounds on *Always With..." Really well.
Billy Corgan used this preamp on 1991's Gish and It's my favorite guitar tone of all time.
Man Rob. I feel like you and I have so much in common. I love this new series man! Thank you for the video! Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Great demonstration, Nuno’s Extreme II tone must be my all time favo rock guitar sound too. I still have my old school BOSS ME-5 and an early 90s N2 here. Always fun!
I still own my original ADA MP 1 from 1990 🔥🎸 and my Mesa Boogie Triaxis
Rack gear comeback 🙌🏼
We had an mp-1 in our recording studio whenever some guy came in with a real crappy amp we would pull it out. Added a GSP 5 and a boogie 50/50 tube power amp.
Yes that GSP adds meat!!
9:56 at 12 soooo good!
Nuno for sure and Paul Gilbert’s “it’s all about the presence,” sound. Appreciate the flashback.
Awesome video. Knew the ADA had to make an appearance. Love the Nuno licks. One of my huge influences. I have a couple of N4s as my everyday players.
Love it. Keep rockin the 80's!!! A piece of gear you have to try is Steve Vai's "Eventid" Ultra pre amp, processor.

Les Claypool (of Primus) used these preamps, modified for bass.
The ADA MP-1 and MP-2 preamps played a significant role in his tone back in the day.
I know this isn't a bass channel, but I had to mention it.
Actually, Les Claypool used the MB-1 which is a bass preamp. It was released around the same time as the MP-1, it just didn't get as much notoriety.
@@harleyhexxe9806 That's cool :)
Yes sir. I'm an 80s kid. Listened to it all weekend long elk hunting
I just put my ADA in to get the noise mod on the ADA depot forum done to it so I can start using it live again. Love it.
There was lots of thrash metal recorded with those but the used them in front of amps like distortion pedals , I saw flotsam and jetsam and Sacred Reich in Tampa Fl in 89 and one of the guys had one sitting on top of a Randall rg 100 and ran straight to the front , lots of guys modded them to get rid of that little loss of signal when switching patches , I know Jason becket and Marty Friedman used one on the first Cacaphony record
My favourite era of the 80's is from about '86 till '93.
Mp1 is great !!!! I got one in my attic along with the ada mc1 footswitch.
The question is whether any of the modern gear like fractal or line6 or boss gt or zoom can replicate the tone whereby you can’t tell the difference eyes closed 👍
Wow!! An ADA MP-1 and a Ric Flair t-shirt? WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!
In my circle it's known as the death metal pre amp, used by disgorge for absolutely brutal tones.
Too funny, at the beginning I thought you were playing Parasite, which would be more like 70's and 80's and 90's etc. but then you changed it up. Fun video, thanks for sharing.
That´s definitly Nuno Bettencourt Sound , well done :)
I used to have one for over 30 years....was a good thing
Had one bought it and a Rockman 2 channel preamp a wireless a rack tuner a Mosfet stereo power amp a rack and A 412 cab plus another power amp for $500.00. Traded everything in for about $900.00 worth of gear. Kept the Rockman and used it for a couple of years can't remember if I sold it or traded it. I think there was a Rockman noise gate also.
"Its not a perfect match of the tone because I don't have Nuno's hands"
That's Next Weeks Episode
That could be a halloween episode
How to get a brutal tone lmao
Still own my original ADA MP1!, Add a boost and that think rocks!
A friend of a roommate I had back in 95 for some reason I can't remember had Nuno Bettencourt's drivers license. The guy was the first person I knew who had an actual recording studio he built at the house he grew up in that he owned at the time when his parents died. I remember that at the time, the idea of having a recording studio was so beyond the what anyone could ever hope to have. I know he put well over $100,000 to build it.

Brings back good memories for me from the 80s. I need one of those lol
You really should be on a million subs rn....your content is gold
A nice balance of gear geeking and music history! I still have an old ART SGE Mach II from the late 80's. When I thought I would never need to buy another piece of gear! hahahaha
And the bands you mentioned here were produced and mixed by "Micheal Wagner" who made the ADA sound we all like
I heard "Hungry" by White Lion in there!!! I was gonna say Bratta used it when I saw your vid! Rober Baker always knows whats up!
Would be awesome Robert for you to do an 80's rig with regular pedals that we can easily find today.
Back when I first heard the term amp modeling and that a lot of people were crediting Line 6 as the first to the party and/or the inventor of the concept but my immediate thought was of ADA, TECH 21 with the analog Sansamp, the Rickman and the little Zoom 9002
I don't know who coined the phrase "modeler" first but Line 6 we're not even close in being first in mimicking a guitar amp Business
I have one that I bought back in the day. It's great!!!

I used to have one of those. You could totally get the Paul Gilbert Mr. Big Sound out of it!
You should be mentioning some of the 90s albums which used it. Smashing Pumkins, Deftones etc. The list goes on...
I had one of these, it was friggin awesome
Props on the David Lee Roth Runnin with the devil intro yell!
"What should i do next?" One of these, would be rad! Guitar: Ibanez 540s (with the original IBZ/USA pickups) ; Amp: Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ or Mark III head (with EQ!) ; pedal: grey DOD 250

hehe i played an mp1 in first band, like 10 or 12 years ago. cool preamp

The wonderful tones of Vito Bratta, Dave Sabo, Scotti Hill, and Nuno Bettencourt!
Don’t forget Paul Gilbert and Tesla!!!🤘🤪
Hell yeah, had one, it was great, only overshadowed by the Triaxis.
Tc electronic rack effects where a big part of the 80s
G Major user here.
@@jaturi3897 ?
You said tc electronic rack effects were big in the 80s. I was saying that I currently used a tc electronic g major for my effects
2290
I sold mine a few years back bought it in 2002.
I loved my mp1 back in the day 👍
I think we all NEED to get this stuff! Great series
The 80's: Friday midnight dollar movies. Two hours early because the real show and the party was the line. Great show, thanks.
I'm loving this series so far. Keep it up
Vito didn't use the ADA on Pride. He used it starting on Big Game. Not to be negative though, this video rocks. And is fun.
Brilliant idea. Just an occasional viewer but this series is such a good idea.
The thumbnail is awesome
