A timeless classic, the ADA MP-1, used to form the guitar tones of bands like Metallica, Testament, Extreme, Racer X, Kansas, White Lion, Skid Row and many more. "The ADA MP-1 was a preamp that was all the rage back in the ’80s – the early "had to have a rack" days. Anyone who got guitar magazines back then might recall the ADA ads – Paul Gilbert, other guys, lots of guys were using them for a while. Apparently the players liked the ability to control things: Distortion levels, distortion with articulation, channel switching, sustain, etc. Plus they also sounded good. Here’s one example: Paul Gilbert talking about the MP-1, starts at about 4:15, after all the funny stuff…." quote source: Remember the ADA? Nuno, Vito, Skid Row : WoodyTone!
Like with any other amp in the AFX2, this tone is possible to dial with other amps in the unit, getting you in the 90 percentile ballpark. With that said, I really think it'd be cool to have a dedicated amp model to this classic preamp, for us "hair" specialist out there...

What bank is it in? I cant seem to find it.
