Thank you for purchasing the ADA MP-2 MIDI Programmable Tube Preamp. The MP-2 is the
latest generation of ADA's programmable tube preamp technology, and contains more gain,

we may provide you with information on future software updates.
This manual provides complete information on the MP-2's features and the procedures for
using them. Despite its easy, intuitive operation, making full use of a sophisticated
programmable device like the MP-2 requires spending some time studying the manual. If the
manual appears somewhat daunting, it is only because of the sheer volume of the MP-2's
features, but you will find the time studying the manual well spent as you discover the extent
of the MP-2's considerable facilities. Further, the factory default values and Programs can
always be reloaded if you "screw up" too badly, so you should have no fear of experimenting
when first learning the MP-2.
