I came across one of these today for a good deal (I think it was good deal at least?). Anyone out there know anything about them? I know it sounds pretty darn great but just curious if there was any info to be had. I can't really find any good info anywhere about it. Anyone have any idea how much they're worth?
Thanks,

Woah. I've never even seen an MP-1. However I can tell you that all of the GT studio gear I have from that era is amazing. The CL1-S is one of my favorite sleeper compressors and the Model 1 tube mics are fantastic as well. Usually that stuff is WAY underpriced. I'm guessing it would go for maybe $200-300, but you may get an even better deal than that. If you pick it up let me know how you like it!

I picked the Groove Tubes MP-1 up the other day & one word... WOW!!! This thing is amazing! It's basically everything I would want in a tube mic pre. It sounded pretty darn good when I bought it but I couldn't help cracking it open to throw some NOS tubes in to see if that even made it better. Simply put, it did. This is probably due to the fact that best I could tell, it had the original tubes in it & the guy I bought it from stated that he's used it a lot off & on over the years. When I put the NOS tubes in I got to take a look at it's innards. It was wonderfully & simplistically built back in 1993 with Cinemag iron on the in/out & top-notch components throughout.
ME LIKEY LOTS!

Wow, haven't seen one in years, never heard too much about them. Curious as well. Looks reasonably modern/simple on the schematic, marking appears to indicate a Cinemag input transformer.
