NRPD. New Rack Preamp Day. RAWK !!!!

So.

About 10 years ago I got a JMP-1, and started collecting rack gear. Around 4-5 years ago I got a Triaxis and decided to try and get the ADA MP-1 to have 'the big three' . This week - we've unlocked this task.

Yes, there is some crossover between them (the Triaxis does a british crunch and Fenderish clean, the MP-1 does blistering Marshall tones, as does the JMP-1 etc etc etc. I don't care.

This one is the MP-1 Classic with an improved noise gate, and a 'brown' channel to go with the solid state/tube clean, and tube distortion. Its in exceptionally clean condition with very little wear and tear.

Sounds decent. And I'm always surprised and delighted when midi controllable devices change preset/react to midi commands.

I need a bigger rack now. Which means a trip to Ikea, some rudimentary woodworking, and some swapparoo fun in the garden.

As is traditional.

Inserting one thing into the rack disturbs the cabling to at least 2 other things. Not only is the rack overfull my patch bay is full too.

Bigger rack and 2nd patchbay time !
