MP1 PRO PROGRAMMABLE TUBE AMPLIFIER
Congratulations on choosing our MP1 Pro Programmable Tube Amplier.
The Nembrini Audio MP1 Pro features a Tri-State Voicing selection that allows you to choose between Distortion
Tube, Clean Tube, or Solid State virtual circuits. The EQ points were designed to replicate the sound of Fender* and
Marshall*, but the Presence control surpasses the range offered by either.
• Unique Tri-State Voicing option for choice of Clean Tube, Distortion Tube, or Solid State circuit.
• Two 12AX7 virtual tubes.
• Three programmable gain controls
• Four band programmable EQ including 16dB boost/cut for bass and treble.
Nembrini Audio have extended the possibility of the original hardware to customize your tone:
• Power amplier section
• 6 guitar effects, delay, modulation, reverb, cleaner, noise gate and compressor.
• 6 carefully selected cabinet emulations
• 4 of the best mic emulations used in real recording sessions - selectable mic positions with volume and pan con-
trols
• Powerful impulses loader to load your favorite IRs

PRE - AMPLIFIER
11
1 - Display : Shows selected parameter value.
2 - Arrows : Up/Down arrow changes the selected pararameters value.
3 - Overdrive 1 : Attenuates pre-tube input signal. Higher gain levels of Overdrive 1 result in higher frequency
harmonic saturation
4 - Overdrive 2 : Attenuates inter-tube signal. Higher levels of Overdrive 2 result in fuller harmonic saturation.
In the Solid State mode, Overdrive 2 sets the level of compression.
5 - Master Gain : Post-tube, pre-EQ gain.

FX - DELAY
1 - SYNC : Activates/deactivates the delay synchronization with the host DAW tempo.
2 - TIME : Provides adjustment of delay time, when the host SYNC is on, it will be with time division.
3 - FEEDBACK : This is the amount of the signal that you’d like to feed back into the input of your delay to create
echoes.
4 - FILTER : This parameter make the delay Lo-Fi.
5 - OFFSET : Create a time offset in left/right delay sections.
6 - MIX : Adjusts the mix of dry input to wet delay signal.
7 - POWER : When on engages the delay section.

FX - MODULATION
1 - SYNC : Activates/deactivates the modulation synchronization with the host DAW tempo.
2 - RATE : This sets the rate of the chorus/tremolo effect. Clockwise rotation quickens the rate and counterclockwise
rotation slows down.
3 - DEPTH : This sets the depth of the chorus/tremolo effect. Clockwise rotation deepens the effect and counter-
clockwise rotation creates the opposite effect
4 - MODE : Select chorus or tremolo mode.
5 - POWER : When on engages the modulation section.

FX - REVERB
1 - DECAY : Controls the time for the reections to die away.
2 - LOW CUT : Remove the low frequencies from the reverb.
3 - HIGH CUT : Remove the high frequencies from the reverb.
4 - MIX : Adjusts the mix of dry input to wet reverb signal.
5 - POWER : When on engages the reverb section.

FX - FILTERS
PRE : Cleaner in the beginning of the signal chain.
1 - TIGHT : Clockwise rotation reduces low frequency content tightening the low range, suitable for 7/8 strings guitars.
2 - HARSH : Clockwise rotation reduces high frequency content.
POST : Cleaner in the end of the signal chain.
3 - RUMBLING : Clockwise rotation reduces low frequency content.
4 - HARSH : Clockwise rotation reduces high frequency content.

FX - NOISE GATE
1 - THRESHOLD : This sets the threshold level where the noise suppression starts working. Adjust it depending on
the signal level and noise level, and when too low, counterclockwise.
2 - RANGE : The gate range is the amount of gain reduction that the gate produces. Therefore, if the range is set at
0 dB, there will be no change in the signal as it crosses the threshold. If the range is set to -60 dB, the signal will be
gated (reduced) by 60 dB.
3 - GATE : Adjust the gate speed.
4 - POWER : When on engages the noise gate section.

FX - COMPRESSOR
1 - THRESHOLD : Controls the compressor’s threshold, left led indicates the amount of gain reduction.
2 - RATIO : Controls the compressor’s ratio.
3 - ATTACK : Controls the compressor’s attack time.
4 - RELEASE : Controls the compressor’s release time.
5 - OUTPUT : Controls the compressor’s output volume.
6 - POWER : When on engages the compressor section.
