Will i have any problems with an ADA MP-1 or a digitech 2101 on my amp?I have heard from others that these will not work well with the preamp section of my amp.I did a search and couldn't find much info about this subject.

Neither are made to go direct to your input. I bouht my ADA in 88 and tried going through the input of a 72 Mashall and it was horrible. You need a power amp to run the ADA and 2101. In later years when paralell loops became fashionable, I would run the ADA into the loop and use it as a power amp through the effects return. It was huge. You can run your through the series loop return to use your MK III as a power amp.
I never used a 2101. Everyone thought they were really bad sounding and muddy.

Through the loop. The MK III has so much gain and is a great amp, but it's too much signal for the preamp to take so the loop return is the way to go.
