The Old School 21 Combo is ready for production!!
ToneQuestReport October 2009 issue reviewed the MP101 amp and the
Old School 21 prototype head
One channel 21 watt all tube combo (or head) with 6V6 power tubes.
Easy setup for great old school tones; from shimmering clean to
roaring overdrive.
With fine-tuned master volume you'll get the distortion also on
lower volumes.
Effects loop for your favorite reverb or delay.
No footswitches, you control the MP21 with your playing hand and
guitar volume knob, the old school way.
New two channel 101 watt (that is one more!) all tube amplifier.
The layout is straight forward: one input, two gains and two master
volumes and both channels share the same tuned tone controls. MP101
is designed for very easy set up, the classic tone stack with Bass,
Middle, Treble and Presence knobs let you easily dial the tones
you want, from country to metal.
First channel is very dynamic with a lot of headroom and detail.
There is a nice British Class-A type compression build into the
preamp of the first channel, so you don’t need to crank the
power-amp up to get that tone. Even with the compression you get
very fast clean tone or great dynamic crunch into touch responsive
old school distortion.
The second channel will take off from there and you are able to
get more gain and more compression and a tone that is voiced to
suit heavier distortion with great note separation and detail. You
can also dial another different clean tone from this channel if
you prefer.
The two channels are carefully balanced to give you the best cleans
and distorted tones that are matched together. You just need to
adjust one set of tone controls and the channels are in harmony.
The MP101 was designed for great tones on all volume levels. This
amp is as much home in small clubs or huge arenas and you will never
run out of the power or tone.
Like with all Mad Professor products we spend a lot of time adjusting
the high-end response. Even heavy distortion is not piecing or shrill
but still with great detail and clarity.
The low-end stays always tight and solid giving foundation to your
tone, be it super clean or heavy.
Easy to setup and easy to play, the new Mad Professor MP101 amp
is simple yet versatile amplifier with lot of power reserve. Classis
looks with modern high-end tube circuitry to serve the art of guitar
playing.
We had a great show in Nashville, thank you everyone who came by

new MP 101.
