“ADA” and “Nuno settings” - instant like!
Instant crunchy stuff!
You had me at “Nuno”
Sick tones! Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it! Been meaning to do this one for ages
Wtf is a Nino?
If I remember correctly the Bill Lawrence pup in his signature is really bright, probably explains the settings with so much bass boost and treble cut
Love these tones! I first heard these way back in the day from Paul Gilbert and Bruce Bouilette. Great vid!
Very nice Leon. I've had my 3TM modded MP-1 since about a month when they first were relased on the ADA Depot. Still have it. One of my fav preamps to this day. Been wanting to rebuild the full rack... Keep the great content coming. Cheers
Nice! Get that rack going again :D
I have 2 MP-1's currently (one in the rack, one as backup)... using a Furman PQ-3 to boost it and a BBE 411 to really make it shine (MP-1's really need the BBE if you ask me, and in the studio Michael Wagener used a BBE 802 on all those classic 80's albums including Nuno's tone). Great video as always!
Classic rig!
A new ADA video from Leon is always appreciated! Speaking of which, ages ago I told you that I had read that I had heard that Angus Young used the ADA MP-1 for a while, and I've finally been able to source the claim: it came from an interview with our guys Vito and George in Guitar for the Practicing Musician in 1989. Vito, of course, had just been on tour with AC/DC at the time, although I will have to add that his phrasing is less committal than I remember. Is there any way to get in touch with you outside of here? I'd be happy to send you the quote in question, but YT doesn't allow external links in the comment section.
Sure, flick me a DM on instagram
There’s Nunone like you! I can’t wait for the nights with Nün! I imagine the tones on tunes!
D E A D
😆
ADA MP-1 Classic my secret weapon 🤟 Thanks Leon 🤟
The classic is something I've been searching for, all I need to complete the collection!
Good morning Leon! Thanks for the Demo! Great to see The Green Monster! Nice tones, Thanks for sharing Brother!
Dr appointments next 3 days, wish me Luck! Be Well All!
Godspeed my brother!
@@LeonTodd Thank you Much!

@@JesusChrist-nc8pr Aww, Thanks for sharing! Be Well!
There is a thread on Gearspace where Michael Wagener shared the settings of the preset that he claimed to use on Skid Row, Extreme, and White Lion's albums he recorded. The settings are different here, but maybe the original was a starting point, who knows. Still cool, all these years later the ADA MP1 still kicks ass! Cool video sir!
Here is the post. gearspace.com/board/showpost.php?p=364951&postcount=33
For anyone looking for this, you'll find the settings in the discussion at this link: gearspace.com/board/high-end/36736-questions-michael-wagener-2.html
I think you mean Gearslutz. He said he used the same exact settings on all three players. Nuno’s tracks sound like he had a Rat pedal added to the equation. It’s far more percussive and punchy where Vito sounds smoother and warmer.
@@stevemineer2857 Gearslutz changed their name to Gearspace a while back.
@@mrparkinson Ah ok. I haven’t been there in years. Thanks.
All those blinking lights makes it look like something from Star Trek TOS or Star Wars.
Hahaha totally
“The lights are all blinking out of sequence, sir!”
“Well get them to blink *in* sequence!”
@LeonTodd Once again our beloved MP-1!!!!!! GREAT WAY SPEND LUNCH BREAK!!!!!!
You really need to hear the ADAMP1 powered by a Mesa Boogie Strategy 500 cranked. Its mind blowing!
I used to run mine with a Mesa Boogie Simulclass 2:90. Also amazing.
"If its worth doing its worth over doing" true 80's lifestyle proverb and should b on a tombstone
And also thanks for the nuno setting!!
You gotta love the ADA MP1s...The ONLY preamp for me who did it for the Nuno sound. Remember Nuno doesn't actually alternate pick his riffs, he just legatos the shit out of them while palm muting to get this percussive tone....It's absolutely tricky to nail it and I only managed to get it sound "right" (that is super clean and articulate and over-compressed BUT not muddy at all) with the ADA 3TM and a very Trembly pickup but NOT super high output (Bill Lawrence (becky) is better compared to the Duncan)...the best fit for a. pickup was from a 1986 Charvel Model 4, Jackson pickup which is literally like having a compressor in front :)
Love my mp-1! I know rack gear has kinda gone out of style, but it does offer way more versatility.
My mp-1 is stock. I bought it for 200 bucks a couple of years ago. I’ve been looking to get another one, but the price is more than 3times that now if you can find one.
I wasn’t too happy with it at first, but I ran it through an eq and it totally came alive! Good stuff!
Thanks LT great content me and brother use to own a brand new MP-1 when they came out wish I still had it!Rock on🤘killer tone!
I WANT MY MP-2 BACK!! I was young and dumb and couldn't dial it in the way I "wanted". Hindsight, I had some fantastic sounds!!
Yay! MP-1 is always synonymous with Fun! Were using your V30 4x12 IR for this video?
Hey Leon. Can you do a video where you show how to dial in the bottom MP-1 tone in to the Axe-Fx III? I'll bet that would sound amazing!!!
Soon!
I still use my MP1. Love it. A tad bit noisy though. But great tone with EHX 12AX7 Gold. Mine is slightly modded back in the 90ties
Do the noise mod on it - my 3TM has it and it's way quieter. Basically just need to replace some caps
I have the MP1 Classic which is quieter than the standard MP1
I still have my ADA MP1 in the rack. I modded it using a kit from adadepot, the mesa 666 mod. Basically, it adds more low end and more mid tone control as well as gain.
Alaways love the MP-1 videos. I still have mine from the 80's. When is Cliff going to add it to the Fractal gear? It is all over the request gear to add, in the forums.
Oh mate I'd love if they add it! At the moment try the "big hair" model and drop the tonestack frequency to 550hz
Thank you so much for making a video. I just purchased my first ADA mp-1 preamp! Unfortunately it's not holding the preset settings! This particular model does not have the switch on the top. I think most likely the battery needs to be replaced but I don't have the skills to do that if it's hardwired in there. Any advice would be appreciated! Keep doing what you do!
Love the ADA rack! Really great!
Just came across this video as a random in my feed. Great sounds. Still use my MP-1. Modded my two tube board as a cathode follower like a Marshall 2204 or Soldano. ADADepot is a great source of info. Also have a Microtube 100 amp, and Microcab speaker emulator.
That's a cool mod - I'll have to hit up marshallJMP again and pick their brain some more!
Nuno. The Portuguese pride 🇵🇹
Always question myself that rabea,as a massive Nuno fan, never checked one of these out on his channel ....
I agree, this needs to happen
Lol I had 4 ADAs / sold 2 / you can never have enough of them !!!! Great video
Agreed!
love my original mp1. i play Michael Wagners profile on a kemper mostly now. Seeing this vid makes me want to hook the mp1 up though.
Mutha (Don't Wanna Go To School Today)
...best Extreme song of all Extreme songs and on their first album produced and recorded by Bob St. John with zero budget. Nuno became Kid Ego for a while. Who wouldn't if compared to Yngwie and Eddie, which he was, every time a journalist wrote about him.
"Cocaine's a hell of a drug"
Patiently waiting for a MP-2 video - you're such a tease having it there in the rack for us to see. ;-)
Still needs some servicing, tried a few things so far but no dice. I did do a preliminary vid though.
the orginal without the mod sounds best to me
Great video! Thks
Man I’d love one of these; super cool vid!
I have an mp1 with the most recent version but it needs a good cleaning and a retube...ordered electronic cleaner and got new jj's for it.
Nearly all of them would be overdue for a re-cap, makes a big difference!
Instant click bait = Leon + ADA MP-1 😃
I didn’t think I’ll ever be in a position to ever lay my hands on all these gears be it accessibility or financially, so I got hold of an old Randall RG 75 3G with the hope of getting close to the ballpark of Nuno tone. I got it so because of Randall rolling out with those NB series for a short period of time…..now is there anyone out there who could possibly help me out with the tone chase. I play a very basic BC Rich with a HH configuration with a licensed Floyd Rose. I think the tone @ 1:35 is just incredible, and fantastic playing too. Thanks for the video and sharing the information!!!
I think the unmodded ones sound the best!
Coz ofvur video .. I use my friend ADA mp-1 to make and metal album .. Yes and its badd ass pre from the past
😜like most everyone else on here, if I see "Nuno", I'm clicking in for a visit! Great vid, Leon! 🤘😎🤘
Awesome He-man Woman Hater! Leon when are you going to bust out that solo for us haha!
You might like the Digitech GSP 2101 with a tube power amp. There's a few good demo's on here by Glen Hyden and others.
I have an ADA MP1 and matching pedal ADA AMP for sale
Leon at 00:56 - "...and I'm plugged into that stock bottom one at the moment...". Me: "STOCK BOTTOM...STOCK BOTTOM...STOCK BOTTOM!!! "
C - B - A - D - E
Instant 80’s 🎸😎
I have the three tube mod as well. I will need to find the video you talk about it.
Here it is ruclips.net/video/Voq8o8HYl2w/видео.html
Love my 3TM ADA MP1!
Such a great preamp!
I know the Marshall jmp1 isn't a true tube distortion, but I think the ADA is. Is that right? I have both preamp, but I much prefer the ADA. Thanks.
With a good pair of Monolith M1060 on my old and ruined ears: the 220V (for me the best of the three... and the one i have) has a more "healty" and "opened" and balanced sound than the 110V that sounds a bit "muffled". The 3TM to me totally alter the character of the ADA MP1 adding some artificial sizzle on the top highs (something like the old Behringer "tube" rack fxs)... in some point it loose the bass and the punch and in other it seems heavily scooped but not in the good way we all mean "scooped" (ya know: the "smile eq"). So... i'm happy with my stock ADA-MP1 220V!
Sounds fantastic! What are your thoughts on master gain settings? I gravitate toward the Michael Wagner setting, but he runs the master gain at 7.5 which makes it hard to balance with a clean sound. Also, do you prefer to run a hot output from the MP1 into the power amp or keep thre volume knob on the MP1 lower and run the power amp hotter?
It’s all your fault… all these ADA MP1 videos and I had to buy one this week to chase my nostalgic 1980’s dreams… I hope it’s as good as remember. Sounds good on your videos. 😎🤘
😍
I was thinking "I swear the 110 V sounds the best, but I'm probably just imagining" until you said the same thing. The 3 tube mod is much more clinical, but when you really turn up the gain, it has its benefits. Do Nuno settings require a RAT?
In recent years Nuno has used the RAT pedal with various Marshall heads live. And if I'm not mistaken he used it back in the 80's before the MP-1. But never with the MP-1 live or in the studio as far as I know.
My favorite player Marc Diglio used one of those for his first album
Diglio is a BEAST, cool to see someone else who appreciates him
@@LeonTodd Indeed, the reason why I picked up the guitar. And bought an old 86 model 2 charvel -almost just like his. Now I just need your amp LOL
also, curious, since you have 3 and it has a stereo out have you tried multiplexing? into the first one, then out the two stereo outs one each, then stereo pan into 4 seperate amps, should be able to time the effect to get some ncie canyon wall effects, specially if you mic back..
picked up a pitchtraq the other day, motor is out of balance or a wheel or two but it works.. crazy old school stuff is WICKED and sounds way better then those new dry skinny units they want $10k for, fugg that, loop up a bunch of old school units and its only like konkey dong!
that 3 toob is thick as a brick, WOW
I have some Kemper profiles of the MP-1. Great tones. I find the Nuno one to be really flexible.
Are they the big Hairy Guitars profiles?
@@LeonTodd You got it! The Michael Wagener ones are killer too.
Love the vintage gear brother. I'd love to be the guy at your estate sale with a pocket full of cash 😂
hahaha oh man that'll be some sale
how would you like to trade that firebird in the back round for a mint JTM45?
Quiero uno!
Can you recreate that Nuno setting on the MP-2?
NICE SOUND!
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I actually prefer the tone from the original MP-1 than the 3 tube mod. The 3tm just has too much saturation for my taste. They all sound great though!
I still own one ( on the attic ) Should revive it some time…
YES!!!!
Or sell it on EBay. They’re worth a bundle right now. I listed mine and it had 900 views in no time
Dang I should've gotten the 3TM mod back in the day.
Nuno is a force of nature that no mere mortal could hope to replicate
A true legend
Is there a difference between the hardware version and the nembrini audio sim?
I still have my MP1, midi foot peddle, and a ADA power amp, stereo. Loveless. But now the question. Where can I find good tech support for the line. It went out of buisness, I think. Anyone know?
my voice is at 5.5. then if I hit up it goes to tube then no sound at all, have to reboot and clear settings?
I have backed down the volume pot to around 11 o'clock and the mastergain to around 6.5-7.5. Makes the tone alot better. More string separation. More Noice sure but I have a nociegate
Interesting!
I also use the 4-5 on the OD1 7-7.5 on OD2. More mids than you. Around 4 and more precense than the Nunopatch
Hi Leon, I also noticed that the 110v mp-1 sounds slightly better than the 230v. Would you say this is just due to component tolerances from unit to unit or does voltage somehow affect tone? Thanks.
I suspect the 230v needs a recap which might be some of the reason!
ADA or JMP-1?
Is each preamp for sale yet?
just wondering, your Peavey Wolfgang seems to have extra tuners on the headstock? (so there are 8 in total) - am I seeing this right?
Probably the googly eyes I stuck to the headstock
How does yours sound SOOOOO clean? Mine is crazy noisy.
Might be worth doing a recap, that's often the source of MP-1's getting noisy
3 MP1's, 3 Times the Fun!
Does that make it an MP3?!
@@LeonTodd LOL! I had mine I bought new in 1991, with split stack, tube and SS power amps (got the tube amp later, since I liked it better, but then I bought a 3rd Power stereo power amp, and that brought it all to fire-breathing life!) Sold it all 2 years ago, since I became a Fractal Audio addict instead! Still have my Alesis Quadraverb that was part of that rig, though!
Can I buy the 3TM
Is it me or does the 3TM sound close to the Morin Preamp ??
Just a few years ago there was a MINT MP-1 with the foot control... for a $150 in a local shop... and I passed it up like an idiot ;-(
D:
Did you replace your eclpise with an H3.5k ?
The Eclipse is still here, it's on my desk rack as I'm working on soemthing with it
I liked the nuno settings.... Not as shrilly .. cool comparison!!!
7:03 - the EVH guitar has more of a phat mid thing, vs. Greenie's slightly brighter bite....
What DiMarzios are in Greenie? I have a Tele copy that needs a brighter, biteier tone than the mudbuckers from my junk drawer provide....
Tone zone and Air Norton!
Have never encountered those IRL. Was thinking about stuffing the recent PAF style DiMarzios in late last year, but decided to hold off....
230v 👍👍
Vito tones tho
Probably an unpopular opinion, but that 3tube mod sounds way too fizzy for my tastes. I like the stock sounds more. They just seemed more... three-dimensional.
Disgorge used this and that’s all that matters
You had one since you were 15?… shit lucky
You could find them for 150 bucks at the time, no one wanted them
@@LeonTodd Word I can totally see that, hopefully I can finally get one of my own after all the OT I’ll be working this Christmas!
Went from buzzing chainsaw to tin chainsaw. Always hated those noisy pieces of junk, sounds like a bee hive
