I'm not in the habit of buying plugins without demoing them first but I'd bought this by the time your epic outro riffing had faded out! Great tones and playing from you on this one!
Here Is a post by Wagener with the preset settings on the ADA for those 80's bands Here are the settings: Overdrive 1 : 4.0 dist Overdrive 2 : 5.5 dist Master Gain : 7.5 dist Bass : 12 Mid : 6 Treb : 6 Pres : 12 Voicing : .tube FX loop : off
Such an iconic sound. That was in my go-to rig for the late 80's early 90's. MP1 + Alesis Quadraverb as the backbone of the rig and I was set. Lots of other effects came and went, but those two were the workhorses.
Interesting. My main rig back in the day was all ADA, with an Alesis QuadraVerb. My ADA rig included the MP-1, MQ-1, B200S and 4 x 2x12 vertical split stacks. I eventually replaced the MP-1 and MQ-1 with an MP-2, which adds a graphic EQ to each patch. I also had a spare MP-1 and MP-2. I still have my MP-2, the rest is long gone. I'm going to look into this plugin! Cheers!
At first glance I thought it was Frank Gambale from the 80’s :) Amazing how much traction the MP-1 still draws so many years later. They always get plenty of views on RUclips :)
@@DuayneHoward mine’s still in the rack but doesn’t get much use these days… except when a new video comes out about it which sparks the interest again haha 😆
I literally finished the video and went and bought it! Amazing plugin! Thanks for the awesome video Leon - your perspective is very valued as you the real units. Thanks and have an awesome day.
Just when I promised myself I wasn’t going to buy any more plugins for a while… Guess I won’t be keeping that promise! Haha Time to pop in Intense Rock and see if this plugin helps me play any of Paul’s licks better. 😂
Great to see a plugin demo, and a wonderful choice in the new Nembrini MP1! And 2 bonuses, a wolfie appearance and some Break You parts! Dude you got it all! 👍
Indulging wet wet wet sounds of the 80’s . Nothing better for a guitar aficionado. Tone chasing has just gotten a lot easier with all these plugins that are available these days. 😀👍
First thing I did was chase down Michael Wagener's Skid Row settings. Too much bass and waaay too much gain for this interpretation of the MP-1, but I'll give yours a shot in the morning. 🤘
@@dwarkanathpramanik8545 Sadly I've never had the pleasure of playing through a real MP-1. I tested the plug-in (which I *did* like enough to buy, just not while using the MW settings) using a set of DI tracks that I recorded years ago specifically for test driving new plug-ins. Been awhile, but pretty sure they were an original USA Peavey Wolfgang.
Such a bummer they didn't model the stereo chorus! The chorus is mono and the delay is stereo, but the stereo chorus is the whole magic of the thing... I wrote them about this but they basically replied like 'whatever'. At least they replied.
Wish I still had my MP1 Pro from 1994, now the price for one shot up! So I bought the plugin and love it!! Still going to buy another one in the near future for the studio.. Excellent demo brotha!!
I'm getting that Reb Beach vibe on your opening demo. Killer tones here! Too many great plugins to choose from! :D P.S. Here's hoping Nembrini will send you The Cali Axis to demo.
Hey Leon ! Thanks for another great video. Brings back old memories. Had an MP-1, back in the day, sold it and ...regret it ever since. I'm thinking, now that we have MP-1 as a plugin and we also have plugins like H3000, PSP42, TC1210 and TC2290 maybe , one day you'll take some time, build a "plugin rack" and show us some 80's rack tones (Dann Huff type) plugin based. All the best and rock on !
I JUST got this. My first ever plugin! I wanted the 80s hair metal/hard rock sound and this does it -just like the old cassettes I used to have. Goes perfect with my Orange or15 for my sludge tones. I love it.
Sounds great Leon. Of course I’m still rocking a MP1 but nice to see the helpers in the plug-in like power amp and speaker sims. There’s so much more to making great sounds than just the preamp alone, but it’s a huge part of it. Read all your comments and yeah if I were going to promote this plug-in I would have requested a license as well since you probably just added over 100 sales. Hope your success continues, you’re still my modern day Randy Rhoads. Best to the family, friends, and cats. ☮️❤️😊 -Jim
I had to get this for Mac as well as the iPad version. I wish I still had my MP-1 that Todd Langner modded with a TRS input jack. Tip was bridge humbucker for dirt channel and ring was neck single coils into clean channel. I turned Kirk into this preamp and this unit single handedly got me a gig building his rack in the 80s.
Great demo. I love all the tones, and this is spot on as far as capturing the magic of the classic MP1 which I've loved since the late 80s. These were very popular with some high end shredders I knew in that scene in L.A. I remember when I plugged my old Charvel with a JB into a friend's MP-1 and how amazing it sounded. I wanted to take it home! I was using Boogies, Marshalls, Laneys and Randalls in those days with the occasional Crate or Gallien Krueger I borrowed from my drummer. But the MP 1 was amazing.
Your intro and outro sounds awesome.....yes I would agree that the delay sounds very 2290 and is on it's own worth the $30. Great preamp tones on it's own....I'm impressed. The chorus isn't as wide as the real MP-1 but in the mix it sounds stellar. It's a very inspiring plug-in. I can see using it to write with while saving my tube life and then tracking with my MP-1. Great video!!!!
$30 sounds like a decent price for something that avoids me trying the physical item (let alone find and pay for one). I bet I can finally play Nuno riffs and licks if I get this.
And this vid gives some tips on controlling it and a useful IR... About a dozen minutes of content ,ore valuable than god knows how many guitar gear magz I have purchased throughout the years
I LOVE this plugin! Sounds killer. Same goes for the Mercuriall Ampbox and the TriAxis emulation. Skipping the big players and going for the lesser known stuff sometimes is highly rewarding.
I'd always thought of this amp as something special and different back in the day, and figured I'd never get to play one. Based on your demo, I picked up the plugin on sale last night! Sounds great, and am having a lot of fun already. Also purchased their shimmer reverb plugin while in the store for a killer sale price. Thanks Leon!
I have owned several ADA's both MP-1 and MP-2 ( still have the MP-2 ) first, blown away by your Demo video...awesome job !! / second - I downloaded the Plug in to Demo - even without taking quality time to dial properly , this thing ( plug in ) is pretty damn impressive ! Nembrini will do well with this one !
Hey Leon, I Just now found this video and I LOVE the tone you got from this Nembrini plugin. The Extreme tone that you got on your jam at starting at 1:51 is to die for! Care to post your settings for that? Thanks for all that you do!
Vito Bratta said he used the BBE Sonic Maximizer every time he used the MP1 and that they were basically made for each other. It makes the MP1 much clearer and defined
My dreams of having the 'big 3' rack preamps in one rack are.... now just that as the ADA MP-1 is a bit pricey now. I love this plugin. They [Nembrini] also do a JMP-1 !.
@@AnthonyBullock1968 Indeed it is, and I have it since years back. There is, however, a boxy quality to the low mids I never seem to get rid of. No idea if that is inherent to the real thing as well.
For the price why the heck not! Bought, thanks Leon and Nembrini Audio. While I wait on the great folks at Fractal Audio to model the most request 80's preamp on the forums.
I feel the same as others that I'm not in the in habit of buying plugins, however, after watching your video, there was no reason to pass on this. I enjoy how you explain the software and run through settings, features with detail, sound, and explanation within a short time. ^5^5^5 🤘🤘
Hey Leon!... I just discovered this plugin... Still have my original ADA MP1 and will never part with it!.. Thank you, I look forward to checking this out for myself-
Very cool that Nembrini made this. Sounds pretty great. Love your RG. I had one of those for years in blue and loved mine. I also had the Nuno N4 guitar and it has one of my favorite necks. I would love to hear you do a demo of Thomas McRocklin's new Polychrome DSP plugin and hear your thoughts on it too!
I've always loved the sounds the ADA MP-1, but found the interface to a bit too confusing. That, and you had to purchase the midi foot controller separately. That was why I went with the Digitech GSP-21 Pro. It not only came with the controller, but it had an LCD screen that made programming much simpler and you could even name the patches that would be displayed on the the controller. The plug-in, however, seems much easier to use.
Great sounding plugin. The Mp1 was and is one of the best sounding preamps ever. My biggest gig ever or in front of the biggest audience I ever played in front of was using a real Mp1 and huge rack and it was heavenly. I was in nirvana. 😂🤘♥️ Great demo as always and your playing is epic.. You just seem to improve all the time although I didn't think it was possible 🤘 Very cool man.. ♥️ Be safe sir. ♥️🤘
Since plugins are 99% cheaper on iOS for some weird reason, I'll just buy plugs with little "provocation", lol. I remember this guitar rack from back in the 90s and was curious to try one. I'm surprised Nembrini made a sim of something kind of obscure like this. Messing w the iPad version i bought recently, I notice it's got some really good sounds. Good demo; thx for posting.
I've been using a MP-1 since 1989. I toured with the thing and I absolutely love it. But now that I'm older, I can't carry around a refrigerator sized rack full of processing gear for it. So I was thinking of a laptop, with this thing loaded as a stand alone unit. Out of that into my Harley Benton Thunder 99 Power Amp Pedal, into (2) 1x12 Celestion cabs. The only thing I don't see any info on is controlling it. If the presets can be changed via a midi fool controller, I'm in business. Do you happen to know if that is an option on the plugin? If it isn't, then they certainly need to add that function. I mean that's what a real MP-1 is all about. Having all those luscious sounds at your tippy toes.
Sounds accurate. Man... those things were everywhere back int he day. In 2014 there was a mint condition one in my local shop with the foot controller for $150 ;-(
Hello Leon. These nembrini plugins are something really different. They sound so much better than any other simulation I've tried. If you haven't tried the JMP-1 yet, I highly recommend it. Could you make a video of the original rack vs the plugin? Thank you!!
After watching your demo for the 5th time and being amazed, I purchased it and don't regret it for a second!!! Outstanding playing by you and an outstanding product from Nembrini! For the life of me though, I can't get the Pan controls to move. I've watched other demos and they are all at 12:00 noon as well. Any ideas?
Clearly I'm dating myself yet I bought one of them when they first hit the market decades ago and used it for a long time. Had a les paul custom and a marshall. Had the full band set up in our log cabin. Full PA the works. No neighbors for a couple miles and we played like it. lol Wutta blast
I find it much easier to dial in amp sims using an already recorded gtr DI, rather than trying to play live and tweak the settings with your mouse, whilst not dropping your pick.
Have to say that this is the best software anything for guitar I've ever heard! Most software for guitar often just sounds fatiguing and has a lot of digital qualities I don't like for guitar, but this really sounds like it's worth. I would be interested in hearing the other cab sims built in because I'm not a huge fan of v30s. You've also captured some early Testament tones too! They were using them in the late 80s and early 90s.
PLugin sounds pretty spot on. But man, if you've got a couple of MP1's. I would recommend the MKII? mod on one of them if the guy that did it back then still does it..or obtaining one. I know it's sacrilege, and it ruins the clean channel. But imo it sounds way tighter and cutting in the distortion channels. Less hairy. Still one of the best sounds i ever had of any amp ever for tight metal. I ran it through a microtube 200 playing my Akira Takasaki sigs through my old custom pieced together cab, that thing was so punchy and loud unmiced it still cut through my other guitar players 5150 full stack miced through the pa. A lot of it was the Akira though, though those things are hard ash and maple, they cut through anything. And if you ever stood in front of Akira in a club face height with his Marshalls, and wonder why you forever have permanent tinnitus, that may be why hah. In fact he should be long deaf by now lol. Might be an actual legitimate reason why they named themselves Loudness.
I just downloaded a demo of this - Is there a way to get the actual ADA-MP1 presets loaded on it? Unless I'm using this wrong, it looks like the demo is only programmable, no presets (I love the preset tones).
I had one when I was like 19. And due to the age restrictions in impulse and intelligence, I traded it for a Krank Revolution +1 -head which I later traded for a 6505+ which I later sold for drugs and alcohol I guess. Most likely reason.
Yellow RG...check. Just the mention of MP-1 in the title...check. Instant click from me (once I finally got home to see this)! I've been (and a lot of others too) after the folks at Amplitube to put out an MP-1 model. This gets my attention, as I just sold mine last year. The price is a no brainer, for sure. But I'll have to see if they have a demo of this. As an MP-1 user since around '95...and VERY familiar with how it sounds, but with my guitars (especially my RG550) running through it. I'm really tempted to just jump on it, but I really need to have "that" sound and feel to make me happy. I'm being overly critical, I know. lol Just the GUI alone hits all the right buttons for me. :) Question, how do the settings match up with the real thing?
I'm not in the habit of buying plugins without demoing them first but I'd bought this by the time your epic outro riffing had faded out! Great tones and playing from you on this one!

finally!...still have an mp1 myself ..still love it.
now if it goes down i can at least have a reasonable substitute
Hopefully this puts some pressure on Fractal to put a MP1 model in the Fractal stuff finally.

The tones on this video is from MP-1 only? I mean no other pedals or any sort of additional effects? Great demo by the way!
DI guitar being processed with the plugin, no post fx
awesome !
OMG! I might have to get this. I loved that rackmount thing. I bet 311 is racing to get this. haha.
After watching your demo for the 5th time and being amazed, I purchased it and don't regret it for a second!!! Outstanding playing by you and an outstanding product from Nembrini! For the life of me though, I can't get the Pan controls to move. I've watched other demos and they are all at 12:00 noon as well. Any ideas?
Great to hear! I'll have to try fiddle with those
Clearly I'm dating myself yet I bought one of them when they first hit the market decades ago and used it for a long time. Had a les paul custom and a marshall. Had the full band set up in our log cabin. Full PA the works. No neighbors for a couple miles and we played like it. lol Wutta blast
That would have been amazing fun
As always Leon NOICE!!! 👊👊🥷
I find it much easier to dial in amp sims using an already recorded gtr DI, rather than trying to play live and tweak the settings with your mouse, whilst not dropping your pick.
Funny, I actually had an MP-1 AND a neon yellow RG550 back in the day. Now I'm able to buy the MP-1 again for $40?!!!
What a time to be alive!
Love your playing Steve.
@@LeonTodd Right?! And thank you so much, that means a lot to me coming from you, Leon!
I bought it today!
Have to say that this is the best software anything for guitar I've ever heard! Most software for guitar often just sounds fatiguing and has a lot of digital qualities I don't like for guitar, but this really sounds like it's worth. I would be interested in hearing the other cab sims built in because I'm not a huge fan of v30s. You've also captured some early Testament tones too! They were using them in the late 80s and early 90s.
I've NEVER bought something so fast in my life
Could you link your preset?
Your wolfgang tone is amazing!
PLugin sounds pretty spot on. But man, if you've got a couple of MP1's. I would recommend the MKII? mod on one of them if the guy that did it back then still does it..or obtaining one. I know it's sacrilege, and it ruins the clean channel. But imo it sounds way tighter and cutting in the distortion channels. Less hairy. Still one of the best sounds i ever had of any amp ever for tight metal. I ran it through a microtube 200 playing my Akira Takasaki sigs through my old custom pieced together cab, that thing was so punchy and loud unmiced it still cut through my other guitar players 5150 full stack miced through the pa. A lot of it was the Akira though, though those things are hard ash and maple, they cut through anything. And if you ever stood in front of Akira in a club face height with his Marshalls, and wonder why you forever have permanent tinnitus, that may be why hah. In fact he should be long deaf by now lol. Might be an actual legitimate reason why they named themselves Loudness.
saw the video and bought it straight away. I love the tones but damn the noise is bad, anyway to reduce it overall when playing?
I just downloaded a demo of this - Is there a way to get the actual ADA-MP1 presets loaded on it? Unless I'm using this wrong, it looks like the demo is only programmable, no presets (I love the preset tones).
Mono > Stereo instance?
Good to see the Wolfgang. How do you like it? I’m currently shopping around for either a peavey or the fender made Evh.
Love it. Not something I play every day but when I pick it up it inspires.
Great demo Leon. Have you checked out the 3TM MP1 in the Rig Player in TH-U? It's outstanding.
I need to try that
Hey Leon, what’s the Extreme song in the jam? Such an awesome riff!
He Man Woman Hater
I had one when I was like 19. And due to the age restrictions in impulse and intelligence, I traded it for a Krank Revolution +1 -head which I later traded for a 6505+ which I later sold for drugs and alcohol I guess. Most likely reason.
I got it!! Fantastico!!!
Yellow RG...check. Just the mention of MP-1 in the title...check. Instant click from me (once I finally got home to see this)! I've been (and a lot of others too) after the folks at Amplitube to put out an MP-1 model. This gets my attention, as I just sold mine last year. The price is a no brainer, for sure. But I'll have to see if they have a demo of this. As an MP-1 user since around '95...and VERY familiar with how it sounds, but with my guitars (especially my RG550) running through it. I'm really tempted to just jump on it, but I really need to have "that" sound and feel to make me happy. I'm being overly critical, I know. lol Just the GUI alone hits all the right buttons for me. :)
Question, how do the settings match up with the real thing?
Kickin ADA!!! I own a MP2 and this kicks it.... What were the settings you used for Nuno's Pornograffitti sound?? TIA!!
The ones I outlined as "my faves" just after the little jam. B/M/T/P 4/-6/2/4 gain to taste
Sweet!
