12 volt? Nah.
The MP-1-CHANNEL’s pair of hand-selected, high-gain, low-noise 12AX7A vacuum tubes run at 270 volts to produce all the sound of the original preamp that caught everyone’s attention – from players to listeners.
Well, I mean, if you're actually going to READ it....270V
Why not? The power supply Voltage has nothing to do with the Voltage in the functional circuits.12 volt? Nah.
True in this case. The text on my phone was so small I didn't bother to read it all. Being a fan of ADA, I should have more faith in them.Why not? The power supply Voltage has nothing to do with the Voltage in the functional circuits.
Pretty standard trick to take 12VAC and run it backwards through a 240:12 filament transfo to get HV for tubes, actually. It's all safe from the AC line via the 12VAC wall wart or line lump powering it....True in this case. The text on my phone was so small I didn't bother to read it all.

IIRC, @2112 Leon has a video where he takes a model that is close and tweaks some settings to make it almost identical. Might be a path forward until Fractal adds an MP1 model....I understand how it works. I just cynically assumed it was another low voltage tube pedal. Still, what I liked about the MP-1 was it's MIDI programmability. It's great that they recreated it for the pedal board market, but I'd still like a model of it in the Axe-FX. At this point, I'm ready to archive this wish along with a compare function.
I'm sure it can be recreated with another model, and that this may be a big reason why it's not in the Axe. I guess that it has a certain appeal due to the fact that I used it for so many years in my younger days.IIRC, @2112 Leon has a video where he takes a model that is close and tweaks some settings to make it almost identical.
