ADA MP-1 Classic owner's manual
NOISE GATE
The NOISE GATE senses the signal at the very input, and gates the signal after the Tone
Controls The NOISE GATE Threshold setting determines the level the NOISE GATE kicks in.
Setting the threshold to 0 disables the circuit, and the display will show: "OFF."
Hint: For a single-coil pickup with a lot of hum (baseline noise), the NOISE GATE
threshold needs to be set higher so that it will kick in sooner when the note is
decaying.
STEREO CHORUS
The STEREO CHORUS is an analog chorus which provides a rich, full swept comb filter
effect. The amount of chorusing is controlled by the Depth parameter, while the sweep speed
is controlled by the Rate parameter. Pressing the STEREO CHORUS button in EDIT mode,
the display either shows "OFF or "d##", the ## being the Depth setting. When the Depth is
set to 0, the chorus effect is removed from the signal path, and the display shows "OFF".
Pressing the STEREO CHORUS button a second time, displays the Rate: "r##." This is the
speed of the modulation, and can be set to 0.0 for a fixed comb-filter effect.
Hint: A fixed comb filter effect can emulate the sound of two single coil pickups in parallel
with a single pickup.
STEREO EFFECTS LOOP
External effects can be patched into the MP-1 CLASSIC and can be switched IN or OUT
under program control, On the rear panel, the STEREO EFFECTS LOOP provides separate
signal level switches for each channel The FX LOOP clip LED on the front panel senses the
Effects RETURN jacks for too high a signal If this LED is lighting, turn back off on the output
level of the last effects device in the effects loop.

EDITING AND STORING PROGRAMS

EDITING A PROGRAM
The easiest way to discover the power of the MP-1 CLASSIC is to modify the factory Preset
programs To build a library of sounds from scratch, we recommend tweaking in your
"cleanest/loudest guitar tone" program first. Get it as loud as you can without any distortion.
You should then use this program as a volume reference while building the rest of your
programs, in particular the MASTER parameter. From this reference you will be able to
match or decrease the level of clean programs. Overdrive programs can then be set louder,
equal to, or less than your reference. When editing a parameter, pressing the
together resets that parameter to the lowest value (i.e. 0.0 or off), except in the tone controls,
where it sets all four of the tone control bands flat (0dB).
1. Make sure the INTERNAL PRGM LED is lit. If not press the INTERNAL PRGM button
to access the user programs.
2. Select the program you want to edit using the BANK-UP, BANK-DOWN, 0-9 and/or
arrow keys. Keep in mind that the program you edit doesn't have to be stored back
into the same location, it can be assigned a new program number at the end of the
editing session (details below)
3. Press the EDIT button. It will light. To ease your mind about "screwing something up",
you can always abandon an edit session by hitting the EDIT button again at any time
during the edit session. The display will then flash on/off if you've changed anything -
if you want to abandon the changes, hit the
number. Now you've discarded the edited program and kept the original one intact.
4. Press the VOICING button and using the
