![]() ![]() I`m going to see if I can corral someone into helping me get one of those. Oh MAN-I have to check to confirm this but I think my software upgrade was to the 1.05 version-I see now that there are 1.10 chips on e-bay-but I`m not an e-bay person. It`s pre-USB for sure, minor drawback but it`s versatile, even by today`s standards. The wah effect never did much for me, but I think the controller has to be tweaked for it to sound good. It included the X-15 footswitching board. I got mine used, from the second guitarist in our band at the time-coincidentally enough he wanted to try Digitech gear. ![]() I don't really mind having the smaller rig anyhoo. I would have rather got the SGX-2000, but price was a deciding factor. I have a old ART DST-4 that I still use regularly. Unfortunately it`s kinda heavy so I left it in the U.S.-that`s one problem.Īnother is the time it takes to set up good sounds, I don`t usually bother with the presets. I have an ART SGX-2000 with a software upgrade chip that is a hell of a lot of fun, it even has parameters for vocals. I'll bet they'll make a comeback at some point, but the gear will have mutated into something we haven't seen yet, maybe a zillion watt amp the size of a cigarette pack, and a speaker so efficient that it's the size of a cigar box, including the cabinet, but it will still cause every club owner on the face of the earth to scream "turn it down, moron! They can't buy drinks if they're pinned against the back wall!!!" Who knows? Better living through chemistry, I always say. And also, from what I hear, the rig of choice these is a small combo amp and a few well-chosen pedals.īut mostly, I guess the reason why you don't see as many of the racks and speaker cabs in use these days is that they are just out of fashion right now. for those old rack units when they go south isn't always easy or cheap. But, it's also kind of like antique cars and such finding parts, cables, etc. I think one reason that more of the stuff isn't used these days is just plain and simple, the "cool guy" factor is higher on the newer stuff. I always wind up in option anxiety too many choices to choose from. But, that's also true of the modeling units for guitar that I have tried. The only thing that changes is the face plate/silk screen.ĭon't know how interested you are, but it would be interesting to see the internals of the controller you have, and see if the main PC board is the same as the hand controller.I was never able to get the collection of sounds I wanted out the rack units I tried, and one was that same GSP. Those had hand controllers from what I've been lead to believe, are all common. Also, say if you had a unit like the IPS33b, they came with a hand held controller, that used that same 6-pin mini-Din propriety cable. Not sure if they are all the same foot controllers across the Digitech line from that era. More or less, a MIDI in and MIDI out plus phantom power. These have the 6-Pin mini-Din deal? Not a "normal" 5-7 Pin Din? I'd say they are a MIDI controller, set up with phantom power from the unit being controlled, with MIDI "handshake" - by that I mean that is how the presets on the footcontroller mimic's what's on the unit being controlled and vice versa. ![]() Also, you would still need to hack into it physically to work out how to power it. Short answer is it could be possible, but it's usefulness outside of a Digitech/Harmon device (Johnson Amps/J-Station, possible some Lexicon stuff?) would be pretty limited. These older GSP pedals are not anywhere near the same league. And you will want to send lots of these messages with one button push. I've been researching MIDI FCs an awful lot this week If you have a rack of units, you want to send different messages: PC, CC, SysEx and button groups within the FC.

Modern MIDI FCs can do so much more than one message at a time they can send many and all types of midi messages. My GSP2101 FC is darn near NOS, too.it is MINT! ![]() Thing is, the love affair stops there, because the build quality is quite poor the treadle pedal has a very shallow throw/moveable range. Phantom power I love and the separate powered midi FC socket to the 2101 is a bonus. The buttons a fairly quiet acoustic noise when in use. 18 character display is nice when you set up toggles and min/max to specific modules that 18 character display shows those changes with no extra programming. The best thing about the 2101 FC is the proprietary language the 2101 has with the FC. I am currently setting up my GSP2101 and GSP2101 FC (rebadged Digitech Control One).
