the trouble with the MP is the opamps and the caps primarily. the tube stage is just an effect that is thrown on at the end of the chain.
i once wanted to mod mine, i stopped at the tube. i didnt want to invest 50 more bucks and 50 of my own hours to fix the engineering shortcuts that ART took in order to maximise their own profit in the first place. its kind of worse than sloppy seconds... its like having sloppy seconds on my own sister or something.
