Title: Just got my ADA
Post by: maliciousteve on February 09, 2006, 12:49:52 PM: This thing is the Sh*t. I can't believe something this amazing only cost me £150. Even putting it through my Roland Combo, it sounds stupidly great. It has pretty much every tone i could ever ask for. Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Megadeth, Death tone are all there. It only took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to use it too. If any one see's one about, get one! or tell me about it :wink:

Post by: jt on February 09, 2006, 04:18:49 PM: :D It`s a pre amp. Not the bit that gives you volume but the bit that creates your sound ! gives you gain etc. Marshall make one called the JMP 1 i think Mesa make one as well can`t remember what its called tho.....

Only a bit. It doesn't colour your tone in anyway though.

Post by: HTH AMPS on February 09, 2006, 11:30:02 PM: They were very popular in the mid/late 80s with alot of LA (hair)metal bands. I remember trying one and it was good for that type of 'american' sound (high-gain Boogie type tone).

I'd buy one for £150 any day of the week, cool preamps.

:twisted:

Post by: _tom_ on February 11, 2006, 03:05:10 PM: Ohh that sounds pretty good on a few of the clips but it just doesnt have that organic goodness a "normal" amp has somehow :P However it sounds really versatile, I'd be interested in one if I had a decent poweramp and cab
