shredzilla1964 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I just realized I had one of these units from the late 80s 90s stashed in a closet.. has anyone tried hooking one up four cable method that's doable yes? I'm intrigued to know how this unit would sound with various impulse responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruz Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Loved that preamp. Still have one and an MP-2 as well. I believe it would sound great in the loop of the Helix driving some different cabs/IR's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hideout Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Well, it wouldn’t 4 cable method... it would be 3 cables. 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shredzilla1964 Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Cool, thanks... going to give it a try this weekend & check it out. I'm not even sure it'll fire up and have any memory/battery life left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobruz Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 MP-2 had expanded features from the MP-1 unit. Did it sound better? Not necessarily, but it had more gain control, better loops, great chorus and wah built in. Really cutting edge for the time. MP-2 Features Complete digital control of an all-analog signal path. 128 User programs plus 39 factory Preset programs. Two low-noise 12AX7A tubes with 10 tube voicing settings and overdrive. Onboard compressor for maximum sustain and funk squeeze. Four-band tone controls for basic tone shaping. Nine-band graphic equalizer for detailed tone adjustments. Powerful effects, including wah-wah, tremolo, and stereo chorus. Noise reduction circuitry to reduce unwanted hum and noise at high gain settings. Stereo effects loop with programmable mix control. Side-chain design keeps dry signal within MP-2, preserving dynamics and signal-to-noise ratio. Speaker emulation circuit and room compensation equalization. Cabinet-emulated, balanced XLR outputs with ground lift, as well as unbalanced 1/4" phone outputs for recording. Independent unbalanced 1/4" phone outputs for stage use. Front and rear panel 1/4" phone inputs for easy access. Complete MIDI implementation, including Real-Time MIDI for changing parameters "on the fly." Optional MIDI Controller Pedal Pack provides instant access to any program for fast on-stage control, plus real-time MIDI continuous control.
