I've been thinking about picking up a used Roland MMP-2 mic modeling preamp. When they first came out I saw a good review in an online magazine, and the specs look good. On the other hand, after coming out with a lot of hoopla and at a hefty price here in Japan, Roland quit producing them in a relatively short time, so I wonder if the MMP-2 has some serious problems. I'm interested more in it as a straight preamp than for the modeling capability (or lack thereof), although the modeling might be interesting to apply to some Japanese ribbon mics (RCA 77 knockoffs by Toshiba and Aiwa, not all that bad actually) I have.
It would be great to hear from anyone who has used one or knows why they seem to have been a flash in the pan.
Thanks in advance
