 | Hey Mark, you should get a Mesa Studio Preamp or a Quad Preamp. Those things kill. http://cgi.ebay.com/mesa-boogie-stud...QQcmdZViewItem |

| Yeah I'm really keeping my eyes open for things, I'm looking to spend about $300-$400 on a second hand plus shipping, so I think I can get something really really nice. Anyone know about the Rocktron Gainiac? |

| Rocktron has some clips of the gainiac on their site. www.rocktron.com. I quite like the sound of the Voodoo Valve preamp though. |

  | i bought and sold mine for 200$. They're cool, but IMO, without the mods, they dont have enough gain.

Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread Its branches like a Temple overhead. ~Charles Baudelaire http://www.myspace.com/impurity Brutal Skullfucking Death Metal |

 | I've had the MP-1, the MP-2, and I currently have the MP-1 Classic. The Classic, IMO, is the best of the 3. The MP-1 is okay, but noisy, the MP-2 I didn't like much, and the Classic is the best pre-amp for me because it has built in NR. I'm not a "metal" player, so I don't know if you can get brutal tones, but I haven't really tried. FWIW |

  | I think ADA MP1s sound lifeless and solid-state. They have some cool clean sounds, it can do a pretty sweet "The Cure" kind of 80s pop clean. It's distortions are a complete joke. I wouldn't recommend it. My friend had one, and not even connecting to a Mesa 2:90 could save it. The Pod Pro thru the 2:90 sounded better. If you want an inexpensive pre-amp, I'd rather have a JMP-1 or a Mesa Quad/Studio. |
