There are some videos of Shuhei Matsumoto on YouTube going into an Axe-XL from an old ADA MP I so obviously it can be done but how? The videos don’t actually sound that great but I have an ADA MP II that I used to send to an ADA Power Amp, passing through a Digitech DHP-55, and split into dual cabs for the stereo delay and other stereo effects. The DHP-55 did stereo dual delay really well and both units had MIDI compatibility so it was a nice setup. I had a MIDI controller that allowed my to call up any of the 10 voicings and a decent amount of on board effects in addition to the Digitech poor mans Eventide. In a lot of ways it was kind of like an Axe-Fx with less effects and saturated tube tone at high gain settings.
The ADA has speaker cab emulation, stereo unbalanced and balanced XLR outputs. I’m not sure how nicely it would play with Axe-Fx and I’m barely familiar the four cable method which I’m assuming would put the ADA in a loop block? The idea of my old tube tone into the Axe-Fx is intriguing but maybe more trouble than it might be worth. I don’t think I would need a load box as there is no power section with an ADA preamp, if I’m understanding the function of the load box.
Ideally, in a perfect world, I would have my unfiltered MP2 tone with access to the full range of effects in the Axe-Fx. I’d also play like Nuno and Vito but it’s not a perfect world. I’d settle for that tube tone I loved back in the day combined with the awesomeness of this effects processor. Asking too much?
