DSP Clipping.
I have an ADA MP1 which I will use for Recording into Cab IRs.
I was surprised that the old ADA Depot Mods Guys had Mods for more gain, the unit
has lots of gain.
I was asking them to add the Third Tube to eliminate some of the solid state stuff so the gain would be smoother , more harmonic.
Diode clipping usually sounds harsh to me even before I knew what it was or which devices used it...
Can a third tube be added to an MP1 in place of the Diode Clipper to achieve similar levels of Gain with fatter tones and more even order harmonic distortion, sweeter Tones ?

A stock ADA MP-1's distortion generation is all tube (cln and dist), 4 gain-stages, though it does have active EQ with solid state components and buffers, so a solid state tonestack.
There is also a solid state clean channel (ss).
ADA Depot has a 3 tube mod that just increases gain, and some other mods to make it quieter, as well as a mod to convert the last gain-stage (V2B?), to a cathode follower for a more Marshall'ish sound/feel etc.
The new ADA MP-1 Channel "pedal" has the same 4 stage tube channels as the old rack (cln and dist), but no solid state clean channel, no chorus, and no MIDI. I have one on a flyboard, it sounds great!
