Thank you for following me here on UA-cam. Bear in mind the purpose of this channel is mainly for customer updates and edification, random and contemporaneous blabbering, and etc. I rarely post "How-To" related content. For more how-to focused guitar amp content, visit @BradsGuitarGarage @PsionicAudio @d-labelectronics @UncleDoug and all the other greats, who are smooshin' it on a daily basis.
Do not attempt to service electrical devices without understanding the risks involved. Tube amps present the opportunity to injure oneself critically or fatally in a multitude of ways. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security based upon the volume of readily available content on the subject matter online.

Dude just discovered your channel and binge watched a dozen or so of your vids. The world needs more ppl like you! A positive attitude and a bit of banter is the way to go. Keep it up !
You have just become dumber for having seen them! Welcome aboard, and thank you so much for the kind words, my friend.
Very cool!!
Very cool, mine still in working order Cheers!
Enjoy it! Such a fun preamp

ADA MP-1 : good
Coffin: bad
Lmao!
I had an early one that I bought new in the 80s. UPS broke the font panel off. I kept it for a long time but never got it back together. I threw it in the trash sometime in 2012 or so. I kinda regret it but I have enough gear to keep running.
UPS breaks a lot of hearts around here too
I got a MP-1 back in the early 90's because all of my guitar heroes used them. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with the sound of it so I sent it back. I wish now that I kept it.
Same thing happened to me - exactly. My problem was running it through the front end of a cheap practice amp. Ah to be a naive teen again haha.
@@thatampguy yep! 16 years old and plugged it straight into the front of my mesa/boogie 50 cal. Combo amp.
@abglogas we didn't know!
Have you made ant mods to reduce noise? Or simple electrolytic swap will do the trick?
I upgraded transistors, fets, caps (40+), chips, and more on one of mine and didn't experience a massive reduction in noise. Wasn't worth the risk or expense. There are baked in limitations to what can be achieved thanks to the pcb design. Having done all that, I just recommend routine maintenance and maybe metal film resistors at the input stages and plate supplies. Not even worth that to be honest. A nice noise
gate in the loop will do way more at less risk.
@@thatampguythanks!!
I have a top switcher type MP-1 which works but is down on gain. Tubes are good, I tried new high gain tubes, it didn't help much. One of the output jacks is broken off. I think it's due for at least a full cap job. I want to contact you and find out what you charge for a full overhaul.
