Is 40 Year Old Gear STILL GOOD?

Is this legendary 1980’s rack preamp any good?

I don't have a lot of old gear, but I have a few pieces in my collection that inspire a specific type of mood. The A/DA MP-1 is definitely a piece of gear that brings me back to a frame of mind from a now far away time.

And that's the trick! Finding gear and other ways to inspire a prompt that helps you to write music! A lot of the time I have trouble writing a song unless I have a specific style, or parameter I'm trying to emulate. It's not copying, taking a song you love and trying to make an "inspired by" version of it that gives you a framework to work within.

It's my most used songwriting trick, other than buying gear of course.

This video also features the Winnipeg Electric Distortion, which is a wonderful Canadian made Rat style pedal, and also the BOSS Waza Tube Amp Expander - which is one of my most used pieces of gear.
