EXAMINE PROGRAM PARAMETERS
1. Press BANK, press
^ V buttons until 0 is displayed on the tens digit of display, then
press 1, You are now in program 1.
2. Press EDIT button.
3. Choose the OVERDRIVE 1. The value "5.O" Is displayed on the LED READOUT.
Next, choose OVERDRIVE 2, its value is "5.0", Continue this process by examining
MASTER GAIN, BASS, etc, An LED on each button "blinks" when the parameter has
been selected for modification.
4. Press the EDIT button when you are through examining the parameter values. The
EDIT LED will turn off, and you will be brought back to program 1.
EDIT AND STORE A PROGRAM
1. Press the EDIT button.
2. Choose a parameter such as MASTER GAIN and decrease or increase its
value with the ^
V buttons.
3. Proceed to the next parameter following the same procedure as 2. above.
4. After all changes are complete, press the red STORE button.
5. Increment or decrement to a bank number, and select a memory number from
0-9 that you want to assign to the program. The program is now stored in the
selected location.
3.3 CREATING TONE
When the EDIT button is toggled on, you have access to the MP-1's gain and tone controls
(grey area). The MP-1 has a unique VOICING control which allows you to create programs
using ultra-high gain DISTORTION TUBE (display reads tUBE with DIST LED lit on the far
left of the display). CLEAN TUBE (CLEAN LED lit), or SOLID STATE (display reads S.S.).
When the VOICING button is selected, use the
^ V buttons to access these three choices.
The DISTORTION TUBE voice filters the pre-tube input signal for super-saturated distortion.
The processor control biases the tubes for extra high gain tone. When CLEAN TUBE is
selected, the processor control re-biases the Tubes for clean tones. It also re-filters the input
signal to give you full range frequency response for warm, Fender
- type sounds. The
SOLID STATE voice bypasses the tube circuitry. This will give you a complete range of solid
state sound, including chorus, adjustable compression, and notch filtering. When setting your
Overdrive levels, remember that low levels followed by high levels produce more noise than
the reverse. High levels of OVERDRIVE 1 will produce a distortion that has high frequency
harmonic saturation, whereas high levels of Overdrive 2 produce fuller harmonic saturation.
When OVERDRIVE 1 or OVERDRIVE 2 is selected, use ^ V to change the levels from 0 to
10.
In the SOLID STATE mode, OVERDRIVE 2 functions as your compression control. The
higher the value, the more compression you have, to a maximum of approximately 40dB.
Use the compression to soften your attack and achieve better sustain. The MASTER GAIN
sets your pre EO level. When the MASTER GAIN button is selected, the AV buttons will
change the value from 0 to 10. As you create programs (the EDIT LED on), any change of
the VOICING mode will reset the MASTER GAIN level to 0. This is necessary to surpress
any loud surprises.
The stereo analog CHORUS is a perfect complement to the warmth of the MP-1's tube
circuitry, but it will do more than produce great chorusing. If you set the CHORUS RATE to 0
(off), the CHORUS DEPTH functions as a very short delay, producing a wide range of notch
filter and doubling effects. You can achieve a hollow, out-of-phase "strat"-type sound, and
fine tune it by taking the CHORUS DEPTH value up or down.
