MOD 3 / Soldano/Rectifier/5150 (created by Mark Howell)
This Mod brings a "rectified" quality to the tone signature of the MP-1, which is usually known for it's "hot-rodded Marshall" like characteristics. The Tube Distortion voicing has a smoother, creamier overdrive. Those looking to achieve a "Mesa/Boogie" or a "Soldano" type of a medium-level overdrive will find it here. High-gain users will notice the lack of "cutting power" when playing single-note leads. Also easily reversible.
Pros:
Brings the "rectifier" tone closer to MP-1 users, for those who desire that tone.
Makes the MP-1 much quieter, and eliminates most of the extranneous noise.
Individual notes in chords are easily heard.
Cons:
Brings the "rectifier" tone closer to MP-1 users (for those who do NOT desire that tone).
Single notes lose the "bite" that the stock MP-1 was known for. |
