closest to what you have in mind. Remember both the amount of gain and the
equalization can be greatly modified from this point.
5. Press the OVERDRIVE1 button and use the
front-end gain level. Press the OVERDRIVE2 button and repeat OVERDRIVE 1 & 2
work together to give you a wide range of gain in small enough increments to tweak
in just the right amount of gain for any guitar/pick-up combination.
6. Press the MASTER button and use the
volume level to achieve the desired volume level relative to the reference program.
The tone controls will greatly affect the apparent loudness of a program, so wait until
the end to really tweak in the MASTER.
7. Press the BASS button. If all four TONE CONTROL bands are set to 0dB, the display
will read "FLAt." Otherwise it will display the amount of cut or boost in dB's (a minus
sign i.e. -10dB indicates the band is cut). Use the
amount of bottom end boost or cut desired.
Hint: At any time you have one of the four TONE CONTROL bands selected you
can push the and V arrow buttons together to set the entire TONE CONTROL

section flat (0dB on all four bands)
8. Repeat the process for the MID, TREBLE and PRESENCE bands
9. Press the NOISE GATE button. The display will read "OFF" if the NOISE GATE is out
of the circuit. If it's on, it will read "t" followed by a number 0 to 100, indicating the
Threshold of the NOISE GATE. The Threshold sets the level which the NOISE GATE
shuts off the audio signal. In setting the correct Threshold remember that the noisier
the guitar input, the higher the Threshold should be set.
10. Press the STEREO CHORUS button. The display will read "OFF" if the chorus is out
of the circuit. If it's on it will read "d" followed by a number 0 to 100, indicating Chorus
Depth. Use the
Depth is how widely the LFO swings, and roughly corresponds to the amount of
chorus. However, since increasing the Rate of the chorus makes the effect much
more noticeable, turning up the rate will usually require turning down the Depth.
11. Press the STEREO CHORUS button again, the display will read "r" followed by a
number 0.0 to 10.0, indicating Chorus Rate, or the speed of the modulation, in Hz
(cycles per second.) With the rate at 0.0. the LFO is not moving, and interesting
comb-filter effects can be created. Changing the value of Chorus Depth from 1 to 100
will set the comb filler's position for different tonal characteristics.
Hint: In either of the chorus screens, pressing the
will set the depth to 0 ("OFF") and the rate to 0.0 Hz.

14. When done editing the program, press the EDIT button again, and the display will
flash, indicating that the working registers are different from the original program
stored at that program number location. To abandon the changes made, press any of
the 0-9 digits, or the

Hint: The MP-1 CLASSIC is monitored at five points along its signal path for clipping via the
front panel CLIP LED's. If any of the LED's flash on and off while playing, momentary
overloading is occurring in the MP-1 CLASSIC. The CLIP LED's help locate where the
overload distortion is occurring while playing. If unwanted clipping occurs, lower the level of
the parameter which is clipping by going into the EDIT mode and decreasing the level of that
parameter.
