For sale ADA rig: MB-1 pre; B500B amp; MPC controller; SKB rack

$699.00

Details

Buying a house and need to put up some gear to free up $$$ for down-payment and closing costs.

This is a "bucket list" rig that I put together over the last few years. There's an ADA MB-1 preamp (fresh Mullard AX7s), ADA B500B power amp, and ADA MPC MIDI foot controller loaded in an SKB 4U rack case.

The MB-1 lets you combine tube and solid state gain stages. Powerful EQ section. Very musical compression and surprisingly usable chorus effect. Two different effects loops. Option for crossover/bi-amping. And it's all programmable.

For example, you can put a octaver in one effect loop and an overdrive plus compressor in the other. Then you can create a presets with whatever combination of EQ, compression, on-board overdrive/chorus, and effects loop you want. Very powerful and much easier to use than you'd think.

Pics taken with my iPhone X today. No filters or editing.

Opinionated blowhard. But not mad about it.

Too cool!

Back in the day I ran that power amp with an ART Nightbass pre (80s anyone?).

I dropped the rack and something went south. The tech who put it all back together said that amp had some of the best components he had ever seen.... whatever that means. The drop has messed up the mounting of the circuit boards somehow. Once he sorted that all out it worked like a champ for several more years until I sold it.

But, yeah, he said they made them with all "the good stuff".
