Re: Half Space Guitar Power Amps?



That's right....I remember those. Oh, those were the days, when every 
single-space guitar preamp had it's partner in crime, a single space power 
amp. The days of modularity madness. I believe the Marshall power amp 
matched nicely with the Marshall JMP1 preamp? Then the Boogie 20/20 and 
Triaxis or formula preamps. Then the ADA MP1 preamp with the ADA Microtube 
100 amp, etc, etc.

In fact, I've owned three ADA MP1 classic preamps and loved them all. I've 
never heard a chorus that sounded as unique and rich as the MP1 
chorus...something about it I can't put my finger on it.  I'm about ready 
to 
purchase one of the ADA microtube power amps, any hour now. They are 
inexpensive, but good to get me by for now.
