APPLICATIONS
TheMP‐1‐CHANNELwasdesignedforpedalboardsanddirectrecording.Youcanprecedeit
withotherpedalsandeffectsoryoucanplacethemaftertheMP‐1‐CHANNEL.Mostcommon
effectsaftertheMP‐1‐CHANNELaredelays,cabinetsimulators,andreverb.Someguitarists
willwanttheMP
‐1‐CHANNELtoperformthefunctionofapreamp,andwillwantitsOUTPUT
toconnecttoacomboamp’spowerstageviaa“directinsert”jackortheeffectsreturnloop
jack.Thisavoidsapreamppluggedintoanotherpreampsituation,whichis,inmostcases,
undesirable.Ifyour
comboorheaddoesnotallowdirectaccesstoitspoweramp,youcan
plugintothecomboorhead’sinput.Whendoingthis,itisbesttosetthetonecontrols“flat”
and“drive”turneddowntokeepthesignalcleanwiththemastervolumeup.Thiswillallow
the
MP‐1‐CHANNELtobethesourceofdistortion,ratherthansharingitwiththecomboor
headpreamp.

Forliveperformance,theMP‐1‐CHANNEL,alongwithaGCSCabinetSimulator,caneliminate
theneedforacomboorheadwithaguitarspeakercabinet.Youcangetincredible
tone
throughthehousesoundsystem(PA)andthroughfull‐rangestagemonitorsorearmonitors.

Fordirectrecording,werecommendacabinetsimulatorlikeoneofourGCSproducts.Thiswill
addtherealismofamikedguitarspeakercabinettotheguitartonecomingfromtheMP‐1
‐
CHANNEL,oryourpedalboard.
