Re: RACK PREAMPS - ada or jmp-1??
I'd talk you out the MP1. We have an MB1 (same idea, for bass) that has amazing, superb, incredible, world-beater and some tone, it is flexible, MIDI-switchable, 7th heaven unit but the F:cussing:N foils-switch (yeah the same construction that you can find in hyper-cheepo TV remote controllers) front panel broke and there is no replace parts on the Earth anymore. It's been half a year back from now that the MB1 was taken to the best MIDI/tube repairsman here I know and he still can't say it's reliable because as soon he solves a problem, an another comes around because of time-worn electric components. F:cussing:K. One thing is sure: it wasn't made for the day after tomorrow :evil:
Yeah, ADA tone is heavenly. I have a friend here (Sanya of Watch My Dying) who has the same MP1+50/50 configuration you wanted and yeah he has superb tone, with the side-note that his unit spontaneously turns itself off during the gigs a couple of times (the same foil-switch problem I guess but his one doesn't freeze itself like ours do). So, if you want a superb-sounding unit with rhapsodic reliability, go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend the JMP-1 or any of the superb units that the guys have mentioned. You can add the Hughes&Kettner Access preamp to the list, it has the same sonic performance as the TriAxis, for the fracture.
Or, buy three MP1s, one for use, one for backup and one for replacement parts
