What is "modern metal" and why wouldn't you expect vintage equipment to be able to handle it? The MP-1 is from 1988, but it's supposedly modeled after a 1958 Marshall Plexi. Gee, how can that handle metal at all?
Every metal tone you hear today was done 20 years ago by someone, and the maximum useable distortion levels were already attained back then.
In this video in particular, no tonal or musical idea sounds newer than about 1985.

You mean can you tune down a step or to D and use the ADA? Yes.
As mentioned, most of the great sounds, like with synths of all types, have been established. Any improvement is small. It's like improving at anything, you have a rapid period and reach a plateau. The biggest difference today in tone is tuning down and different EQ's.
IMO, the game of change and newness has created a lot of crappy guitar sounds. Eddie Van Halen's sound from 82-84 sounds better than 99% of today's attempts!

I've got both. Just because the V-Twin is from Mesa Boogie that does not mean it sounds like a rectifier!! The V-Twin sounds great, but don't for Metal (!) Not enough Gain

through a vht power amp it might sounds very very good

@andypopa256 hey could the ada work in front of a tube head amp or does it have to run into a phantom power amp?
-
oooh yes, it can!!
:D

-
@minpinful Yeah, it is all in the fingers, but the ADA MP-1 without mods handles itself very well for it's age.

It is nice to see someone playing metal with a Gibson studio; great guitar!

ADA MP1 or MESA V-TWIN ?
foreverjimmy 1 year ago
@foreverjimmy I'd go for ADA.

@foreverjimmy I haven't played the V-TWIN but I have watched demos and they're weak. I'd go for ADA, although there's no reason why you wouldn't go for an outright metal head like the 6505+ (which is also cheap and US made)
