BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The MP-1 uses a 3-volt Lithium battery which maintains power for program storage while the
MP-1 is unplugged from an AC supply. Expected battery life is 8-10 years. Should
replacement be necessary, contact a qualified service technician.
TUBE REPLACEMENT
Your factory installed 12AX7/A tubes should last approximately two years. When tube
replacement becomes necessary, we recommend that you use only ADA factory tested
replacement tubes for the cleanest and quietest performance possible. These can be
obtained from ADA or an authorized ADA dealer. Order ADA part number 800301
for a matched pair. For more information call ADA customer service at (415) 632-1323.

APPLICATION NOTES
PROGRAMMING
We recommend programming your "cleanest/loudest guitar tone" program first. Get it as loud
as you can without any distortion. You should then use this program as a volume reference
while building the rest of your programs, in particular the MASTER GAIN parameter. From
this reference you will be able to match or decrease the level of clean programs. Distortion
programs can then be set louder, equal to, or less than your reference.
