Mad Professor Old School 21

Postby Bobby D » Mon Jan 17, 2011 4:50 pm

i played it again at NAMM......and it's EVEN BETTER than the one I played at NAMM 2009.

i cranked it up with NO PEDALS (the horror).....just maxed out the preamp, and turned the master down, and got a beautiful overdrive, with plenty of articulation and girth.

i did not have time to try the new Old School "little amp".....but it looked beautiful!

these days, i am thinking more of the Mp101.....i am tired of little bitty low wattage amps. i wanna RAWK!

but i really do love that OS 21......and now we have an official USA distributor company, so I think we are gonna see more and more MP products in the USA soon :joker

Bummer. I saw that in the background and was wondering about it; looks super cool.


it does INDEED...i should have shot a demo of it, but i did not want to take too much time away from the dealers coming by the booth, and it was just hectic at NAMM....sure does look cool! i am sure we will hear some demos soon.

i am kinda sorry i did not fire up the MP101.....the more i learn about that amp, the more i like it!

Hello gentelemen,

I got to try OS11 at Harri´s place in December.
All I can say is, it sure is GREAT! Did this surprise anybody? :wink:

Extremely nice little amp: Just two tubes: 12AX7 and 6V6, solid state rectifier to keep the tone tight.

Big watts, lots of headroom, nice overdrive sound. There´s only volume, but that´s push/pull: when pulled sound gets bit "jazzier" and rounder.

Tried it with Tele and Harri played it with LP and amp didn´t sag at all, though it was on "11". Guitar volume and tone brings nice shades to it also.

After trying OS11, I definitely need one!
