ADA MB-1 Sound clips

J,

Wish I could. Great sounding pre. I'll be selling mine with the B500 power amp & midi foot board very shortly. All mint condition & I'm the original owner from '91...

I may be interested in this rig. I am not familiar with the B500, however; who makes it and what are the specs on it? Got any pictures of the rig?

Thanks.

 

This is funny! It's not even the "sale" sect & it's turned into it! LOL!

Anyway, ADA made the pwr amp & it has 2 channels: hi & lo. The hi has 275W(195)& the low has 385W(105) @4ohms(8ohms), the low being for subs or full range & same explanation for hi's.

The pre has 2 12AX7's with a chorus & semi-parametric a compressor sect. It's tube & solid state(like a Mesa2000) & you can blend them how you like. Very nice pre with great sounds.

I have ALL the original manuals for both & the pre-set program chart too.

Figured I'd drop a line to my fellow TB'rs here on such an appropiate post before I put it on "the bay".

Hopefully tomm I can post some pics. I'm in the middle of moving from my house & I have to go to work now...

Is the MB1 noisy? I tried out an MP1 for guitar a few days ago and it had quite a lot of noise in it, which when cranked up through an amp would sound horrible.

Look forward to some pics if you can get 'em posted.

 

Nope, no noise at all. Pics in a bit...

The MB-1 is an excellent Bass Preamp. I bought mine in the early 90's.

There is a site that sells parts for ADA equipment.
They also have most of the manuals online.

Here is a bass player's site with the MB-1 documentation:
