ADA Microfet 100

1 Rack Space Stereo Solid State Power Amp. Volume A and B, a single presense control and LED level meters on front. Two outputs (A and B) and Mono on the rear and courtesy AC outlet.

Transparent to whats going in. Does not color the sound. Plenty of power for practice/gigs. About the equivelant of a 30watt tube amp per/channel. I use it with a JCM900 stereo cabinet. Stereo imaging adds whole other dimension to the overall sound. VERY LIGHT!!! I love the fact that I have a complete stereo rig with effects in a three space rack. No problem keeping up with drummer either. I give it an 8 because tubes sound better but the trade off is weight, reliability, weight, weight, weight...

It's never crapped out on me...

I just love being able to throw this thing on one should, a guitar on the other and wheel my cabinet around for a LOUD, three dimensional rig that can hang with the big boys. So much value here...

2 channels, 100 Watt stereo. FET technology. Not the brutal power or warmth of a 100 watt tube amp. Good quality for what you get.

Clean amp. Only complaint is lack of power. I assume most get this amp for a rack rig on stage. If you play with a LOUD band, this is not the amp that will get you heard. I've been drowned out by 50 watt tube heads w/4X12 cabs.

Overheats if you push it for a long time. A fan is needed. Otherwise, works like a charm.

This was my first power amp for a live, rackmount rig. It blasted my house but in a practice/live situation, many times I was left in the dust by loud drummers and amps. I would have kept it for possibly a monitor amp but I needed the trade value when I got rid of it. The experience with this amp was overall good BUT I won't get another non-tube poweramp for guitar. Just not enough power at 100w AND once you hear tubes, you understand what you were missing.

Amp was made in 1993. Good amp if you know the sound you want. What ever the sound you put into this amp, you get back with no distortion. Not a warm as tube amp, being mosfet technology, but sound is very good.

I chose this amp because I wanted a versatile amp that could run my acoustic aswell as my electric signals, and it does very well! I run an ADA MP-1 into it, into my marshall 4x12 and the sound is so tight! Sometime tube amps muddy up the tone, or flatten the distortion requiring you to go out and buy a sonic maximizer, with this amp you don't have to fear it. If you plug an acoustic into it, you get back a clean non-distorted return. When you run a overdrive signal into it, you get back tight punchy distortion.

Never had a problem with it, built solid. used it in live as well as studio settings. Never clips out, good reliable amp.

I can't give it a high rating because the company is gone, but when they were around and I needed spare knobs, I called and they sent them out immediately. They were good

Overall it is a solid amp. If you have your sound, this amp will not alter it. Good amp for studio, or live use.

Presence, and Channel Volume are the only controls in this solid state rack-mounter poweramp.

Generally a decent sound at medium to lower volumes. Not especially rich, but if you already have your sound in order without this guy, it doesn't seem to interfere with it.

This unit is unreliable at high volume without supplemental cooling. After putting a fan on mine, it works fine. Maybe a testament to its reliability is that I had it get too hot several times, and it always came back on (eventually)

This would be suitable only in a practice rig. It doesn't provide enough power to drive a 4x12 in a rock band situation, but isn't bad for studio or home-rehearsal. I really wish a fan was included, prehaps some sort of a low-end control.
