    Rverb beautiful, very beautiful delay, chorus Arian nice compressor, noise gate very effective, trmolo excellent, pretty average phaser. EQ & well thought effective. Good clean sound.
    Cot distortion, the better my taste is "saturated tube", which is really hot. Although the clean tube can crunch trsrussis
    The really practical aspect of GSP in 2101 is the small simulation button on the XLR outputs: it activates a simulation that allows to connect with happiness on a console, or even on an amp other than guitar (amp keyboards, etc. .. )dropoff window

    Please do not rely on the factory sounds, many rats.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    The GSP is a machine which makes all terrain sacrs services. They are not so numerous multi effects including a prampli quality lamp.
    The sound comes out well in the mix, the Gnrale color is Russia, with a grain almost vintage to your rglages or so typ 80-90 years depending on the sounds and effects.
    The ratio Q / price today is excellent
    The space / functionality ratio is not bad either.

    I have not found a better system of matter, all-in-one-knowing-attack-or indifferently-receiver-table (all in two rack units to be pr cis, even if the crankset is part, but it is not essential, especially in the studio or rehearsal). So I bought the GSP in 2101 after having had a pod, a Roland VG88 (sold ts 2) and briefly tried a Tonelab SE.

    See specs.

    UTILIZATION

    It's really easy to use, you have direct access to the parameter groups via the buttons and you can edit the parameters with the wheel and cursor, it also has customizable memory presets.

    Regarding the manual: I haven't had the need to read the manual because, once again, it is really easy to use (at least for what I do, which is take the presets and modify them to my taste). If you really need it, you can download it.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are all right. Often a bit too exaggerated for my taste, but that's a subjective appreciation, obviously. Besides, I'm not a great electric (nor acoustic) guitar player. So my review isn't worth that much.

    No noise, no whirring. In that sense it's impeccable.

    Very solid housing, but not very portable (it's heavy and big). That said, the pedal is intended to be used onstage, which I have never done...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used it for two years, I got a very good deal secondhand, so, to me, its value for money is excellent, even if not representative.

    I have tried many other models

    Would I buy it again? Yes, for sure.

    I must add something to my review: I'm not a true musician who practices intensively. So you'd better take my review with a pinch of salt.

    It has almost all the effects that were at the time, that is to say that, apart from very specific effects, it is full because there was nothing new since .. . the preamp is analog and ship two 12AX7 tubes, the effects are digital, all very good. The originality of this device comes from the concept S-disc, allowing chaining effects internally, the only limits are those of the processor, just for the standard model, and double for the Artist model. the dual processor allows to have twice as many treatment options, or not to cut the tails of reverb or delay to preset change, significant or necessary for use on stage. no editor, so this is a freeware available on the web, I do not personally use. The connection is complete, mono input / stereo outputs and an insert loop mono / stereo, stereo XLR outputs with HP simulation (a bit outdated now, there has been the Palmer PDI and Torpedo since. ..) MIDI input / output, and a plug for the pedal brand. The MIDI implementation is terribly complete, each parameter can be controlled by CC in real time, up to max 10 CC per preset, which are preset to 255. The MIDI mapping is very well thought out, much better than a TC G System that point of view since the program change can be attributed to any preset. With the exception of a tap tempo, absent on the GSP, has not done much better since then, and it is still quite rare to find such opportunities on an even newer machine ...

    UTILIZATION

    Simple, oh no! But the rich possibilities of GSP in 2101 is priced this complexity, however, if we want to create their own algorithms themselves. Otherwise, you can use existing ones, the proposed range is wide enough for a large number of common situations. The manual is quite clear, but the machine is quite complex, the effects of internal routing using virtual mixers we have to connect the desired chaining (serial, parallel, etc..) And for each of the effects modules ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    The analog section is typical 90s, which seems logical, but you can get more vintage sounds quite easily. It includes a compressor, a guitar preamp section with clear sound type tube amp and 2 saturated channels, and 3 overdrives, one reminiscent of a tube screamer fairly realistic, a pretty sweet saturation typical jazz fusion and containing the heavy distortion characteristic of the dod pedal "grunge". the resulting sounds can be excellent but keep a particular color. However, the channel "clean pipes" or bypassed preamp agree very well distortion pedals, and 10-band EQ is quite effective. We can therefore get many sounds with external pedals, upstream of the preamp and in the effects loop. The effects are excellent, special mention reverbs (gigaverb beautiful!) And delays, the latter being more comprehensive than those offered on the Rocktron Prophesy Yet later, the modulations are also very successful. The digital section is directly accessible via the effect return inputs, and allows processing of a source in stereo, making a possible GSP processor studio. Moreover, at the time, Digitech had released another machine S-Disc algorithms based on strictly identical, the TSR 24 for the studio or on keyboards ... The whammy if it works rather well, has the disadvantage of causing a decrease in volume, and is not placed in the optimal location in the chain of effects, since it is post-preamp. The same goes for the wah-wah, almost unusable as a result, because they are poorly positioned in the signal routing. However, you can get good auto-wah sounds and pitch shifter is very nice, we even get an intelligent harmonizer in Artist Version! ... Apart from these minor drawbacks, the effects are very good , warm, and even much higher than what is found on newer machines ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    Findable in the opportunity cost of a single pedal shop, the GSP2101 is a serious and comprehensive tool. I have other machines and preamps today, but I come back regularly with much pleasure. If it should fail, I think I would buy another ...

    Paid $270, got it Off eBay.

    I Like almost everything about this unit. At first when i got it i didnt like it. I was about to sell it but gave it another try. It's really an amazinf FX unit. Im using it mainly for distortions. The other efffects are alos great. But im still amazed at the distortions. Everyone should have one of these in there rack setup!

    Nothing! Everything is great!

    Amazing quality. Already these modules are about 9 years old. I got one in mint condition, but so far i've had absolutly no problems.

    Bottom line, this is an amazing machine, i couldnt live without it. I definitly prefer this over amp distortion anyday.

    DigiTech GSP2101 ArtistPublished on 06/30/01 at 15:00
    I was looking for a tubemidi swichable preamp and did not have the money for a Mesa Boogie Triaxis. I got it at Reliable Music in Charlotte, N.C. and paid $875 for it new. After trying three different ADA preamps [all of which had factory defects] I decided to go with the 2101.

    Ignoring the factory presets you can get a good crunchy tone ( yet not quite as raunchy as the Mesa Boogie). It has almost any digital effect you can dream up and if you mess around with it long enough you can get any sound you want without having to go buy more stuff.

    You NEED the instruction manual. Life without it would be a frustrating hell. And it takes a LOT of screwing around with it to get what you want. It is infinitely adjustable.

    It all steel and built like a tank. If you stick it in a rack you have no worries. I've had mine about six years with no problems. All of the delicate stuff is on the face so if you don't drop it face first, it's good to go.

    It's a good unit for midi switching between different sounds and effects. And it's reliable and sturdy.

    UTILIZATION

    A very good choice, be a little bit difficult to program when you are just beginners but fast!
    For the manual in English is de rigueur ....
    The edition is very complte sounds almost too beginners ....
    But it allows for very rglages, and what made these custom sounds!

    SOUND QUALITY

    The pitch is a bit too synthetic for my taste but with a little Patince, and an equa drrire is not very well fix it!
    are of the rvrbes poustouflant ism, beautiful and easy argler.
    Other effects are of quality (for those who know the quality digitech ......) is by appointment.
    used with lespaul piphone, an ibanez rg 550 and a strat piphone the sound of instruments is a rstitu and its the same level diffrence microphones agree!
    So one of his bank for each instrument! but there is room!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Happy user for over 10 years of this fabulous machine, not much to say in his dfaveur!
    memory is not enough space for these algorithms cr effect, although a few years ago I purchased the card with the deuxime processor ... but this is one of tail effects as the quality is superb.

    - The manual is a keypad that allows to read and is useful
    - For guitarists patients who know what they want

    SOUND QUALITY

    - Effects of very good quality (except wha wha). sounds clear and clean. effects of two families: analog and digital. The analog section is a preamp with fixed routing: compressor, distortion and signal bypass module, summed or no sum (or to have the grain of another preamp or the GSP 2101 preamp or a mix of the two preamp ...) . panel distortion: transistors (grunge - sustain heavy - overdrive) - and light (clean tube - Distorted tube - Saturated tube) and the distorted satured are with good quality 12AX7 ... for more radical styles was the transistor distortion "grunge" is very accurate but a bit "small sound" compared to the sounds lights ... So we obtain a good metal sound but more ... The preamp section is a little behind the quality of multi-effects.

    For the digital section that can be used quite independently of the amp: it is excellent. We can mix and more anywhere in the chain the ratio of natural sound of the instrument with the ratio of signal digitally processed ... (And there are usually a mix at the end of string)

    - I like compression, distos "grunge" and "satured" "clean hit", the noise gate precise, semi-parametric EQ, short delays, chorus and multi-channel stereo reverbs (which is often necessary to mitigate strongly because it is really invasive. I found a small parade: use two or three times micro shorts offset against each other can emulate a good reverb)

    OVERALL OPINION

    - Used for 3 years ... This is the upgraded version of the least of the range (2.00.00) which dates from 1995 but given the prices and potential remains very competitive. It's still nice to pay a premium (well ok it did ten years ago ...)
    - Excellent value for money

    UTILIZATION

    The grip is not easy. It is better to read the 100 pages of the manual (in English!) Before emptying the bte. Apparently, a French version ( ) To travel on the forum ...
    Do not worry, the manual is very well done!

    Digitech philosophy is: You must imagine a bunch of pedals, lots of cable to connect them. You will then have two modes of shipping:
    - The first that connects the pedals together your convenience, eg a time limit Stereo, released a self wha right and left in a flanger and then sent it all in a rverbe ...
    - The deuxime which allows for the rglages effects, eg choose the length and the feedback time limit.
    The grip is long enough, but when mastery, you can really do anything with!
    And becomes more complicated when you possdez version "artist" with dual DSP!

    SOUND QUALITY

    I test the multi-effect in two configs:
    Ibanez S prestige -> GSP 2101 -> Mosfet 60w Stereo Amp -> Marshall 1960A
    Ibanez S prestige -> GSP 2101 -> Tage power TT50H Laney -> Marshall 1960A

    Prampli for analog
    It includes a compressor, a distortion (A choose from six types: 3transistors/3tubes), a 6-band graphic EQ and a noise gate. This chaining is fixed!

    The compressor operation is very simple and very effective.

    For distos:
    The disto Clean Tube, is actually a pramp for clean sounds. It adds a light color, with a warmer and slightly compressed. But also with most mediums.
    The disto Tube Overdrive gives a fairly disto lamps grazed, very serious, with low SETTING THE gain, we have a good crunch a little runny, pushing a little more sound you get enough fat and vintage.
    The disto Distorted Tube is a step up from the previous ones. It has a grain srr more and more modern, but if you want to make mtal is a bit lightweight.
    The distortion is a kind of grunge with Fuzz nromment gain. The sound is unfortunately not trs "big", and it takes out a battery of Eq to get the best. That said, with rglages of Eq xtrmes enough, we can also draw interressants sounds ...
    The distortion overdrive, proposes a slight boost the signal. The grain of this distortion is interresting to sound "Pink Floyd" a little crunch / Blues.
    And disto dernire I remember the name and I never use Russi ...

    The 6-band EQ is doing its job. But I have often put enuite of Eq 10 or 15 bands (with mulieffet to obtain rglages finer).
    The noise gate is great Lorqui mairtiser it comes to custom settings ...

    In Manir gnrale the distos not prcises trs. The grain is interresting but trs "hard rock", but when playing in agreements, is a draft. (Should I try with other lamps may be too)

    For the multi-effect:
    The effects are all good quality trs trs gnre little noise. I have AIM Eq 10 and 15 bands, the reverb (a little overwhelming if it is not gaffe in output, but so beautiful !!!), self-wha, the whammy, the chorus 4 ways!.
    Less well: phasers that sound really weird. Before I had a Boss GX700 with rgalges of phasers and sound are dmentiels, I'm kind of not finding aii.
    The not good at all: the whah wha ... Yeah, you have your APRS cbler of the distos ... And besides she is really trslgre!
    Assets: When the version "artist", we can make the "morphing" change of patches: the patch is replaced by the patch gradually demand. Or the patch continues to run until some time when you change patch. Gnial when you dlais full of sounds: the dlais continue for some time when you changed the ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had almost a year. Qualitprix level, you can find between 350 (I got mine for 360 on Ebay) and 500. With this quality of his is an excellent quality price!

    Very good and for the price I still think the best in its category of multi-effect guitar preamp

    OVERALL OPINION

    Basically the artist is the same as the studio tube but with latest firmware (in 1996) with artist presets
    it is true that the 24-bit for the preamp grateux is good, I personally feel that this preamp has its place also in the studio, and why not live in dj,

    Simply put: There's everything in, even the intelligent harmonizer in the latest version.

    UTILIZATION

    So is the hot ... it takes a few days (and nights) to go around. Once the presets rgls, a will alone with pdalier (10 + sounds ACCS direct the wha wha)

    SOUND QUALITY

    Virtually unlimited range of sounds, and a clean ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have since 1995, am always satisfied. pairing the amp with a lamp and a 4 x 12, you will not.

    UTILIZATION

    The general configuration is relatively simple when you understand the operation of this device:
    program = a set of basic algorithm
    an algorithm modules = (effects) related to each other by mixers + - complex

    It is relatively easy to modify an existing algorithm to create a sound so ...
    Bcp is more complicated to create and save algorithms ....
    The manual is clear, it flows from the French versions on the net ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are superb: the distos are organic, clean sounds, in which an integrated circuit may have to light are beautiful
    the reverbs, phasers, tremolo great
    WHA is not up on my version 2,01,01

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a week
    I love the live sound console with cab simulation, notament clean sounds with phaser
    I had a JMP1 with multifx Quadraverb boss and I had a Pod XT Live, a digitech RP350, a ToneLab, a SansAmp ... I played so far with an amp + pedals analog VK112
    I bought it for 370 euros OCCAZ of his pedal ...
    For now it's the best preamp I've tried, he played in all registers of my repertoire, it is extremely versatile, respect my guitars, faithfully transcribe all the subtleties of the game (even unintentional) a brief good investment

    Rich sound quality, high-quality reverb, can be used as input directly on the table.
    Presets not evil, then we can easily develop his style. I confirm the staining instruments unusually low for this type of device. It is well recognized his instrument. Delays sometimes need a bit of filtering low pass filter to reduce harmonics. The operation of the compressor could be stronger. Pitch shifters, harmonizer intelligent etc etc. Decidedly one will not find better prices for secondhand. Having the second processor board is recommended instead for more flexibility. I have a 2101LE, there was original.

    UTILIZATION

    We can not say that the device is simple. Those who are afraid to try and spend hours to fully develop their sound, let go and take this wonderful tool for analog stompboxes. For other: a world of possibilities opens. We also like the effect loop serial control / off / parallel, which allows to use other effects and control their use via One Control pedalboard or a MIDI pedal. The pedal control one is definitely outdated but nevertheless represents a facility that will be difficult to setup with a MIDI pedal. A U.S. computer expert has developed yet another soft Midiwizzard "which allows the full control of the device. Mine is running XP SP3 without problems. No idea about the use with Windows 7.
    Apart from a battery change ts 3 years to properly maintain the RAM for the user effects the device is rather reliable. Over 8 years of almost weekly trips the only failure was a faulty power connector (found at home - phew!), I was able to repair itself. No idea how it will evolve because the device is now 15 and I do not know how my "box full of silica" is likely to fail.

    OVERALL OPINION

    User fierce for 8 years I particularly regret that Digitech has not continued to play in this range. That's really what they've done the best thing since forever. Even the 1101 has not matched the level of this beast. There are now Ultra Fractal Audio FX but good god, what price (2100 Euro)! For now I prefer my 2101LE secondhand. However, these devices are beginning to have done their time (mine is 15 years old ...), and I'm starting to seriously consider his replacement for 2011, the choice will be very hard! There is an end to everything.
    I would advise any and everyone who is looking for a camera of professional quality, reliable and used for a very affordable price. Usable and configurable for all styles of music including rock, blues, metal, hardcore, punk, country, funk, Balloch finally .... tutti quanti ...
    If the score remained at 9, it is purely for age, and because there Eventide & Fractal Audio. But at its price level it is clear that 15 years is the 2101 champion absolut.

Easy to make, but watch out for welding, not cutting tracks during assembly.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for about a month. I tried the BOSS GT PRO is an excellent multi-effects, but I prefer the 2101 GSP even if the age. I took some time to find a good multi effects, and the one I garde.Son very affordable prices currently about two hundred and fifty € uros with his pedals.

    The GSP 2101 is a studio multi-effects preamp rather dedicated to the guitar. It includes an analog preamp section: Can we attack the multi-effects processor (32-bit S-DISC), which can be used alone because you can skip the preamp through a loop insert. Added to this the complete MIDI implementation, the Control One footswitch control, an effects loop on the machine and balanced outputs with amp simulator.
