Presence control is part of the preamp section, NOT the power section of my amp.Īre you sure about the 10ms increment on the delays? On the reverbs that is true, but I havent found that to be so on the delay section. So I can't adjust the presence while using a modeled amp. I think DigiTech put a lot of thought into providing a suite of quality digital effects (along with the killer stompox and amp models) which provides an excellent balance of ease of utility and "plug & play" operation.Īctually, I have my GSP1101 in the FX loop (post preamp, AFTER the presence control) of my lonestar amp to be able to switch between the preamp on my amp and the modeled preamps of the GSP1101. The GSP1101 seems to me, to be very much tailored for the working musician. I wasn't so crazy about the overdrive/distortions, however. I used to own the 2101 many years ago.and from what I remeber, it had great sounding modulation and time-based digital effects (chorus, delays, reverbs, etc.).

However, the GSP1101's effects (putting aside the amp modeling) just sound better.Īgain, I can't really advise if the GSP1101 would cause you to retire your GSP2101. Don't get me wrong, I very much liked my Rocktron Xpression. They sound very rich and 3-dimensional.and they seamlessly blend and complement your original tone, rather than sounding like they are just "tacked on". I am VERY satisfied with the amount and QUALITY of the built-in Reverbs, as well as ALL of the other GSP1101 effects. The GSP1101 offers six (6) different Reverb types.4 of which are true Lexicon Reverbs. I really don't need to worry about setting/adjusting the paramater for "Reverb Early Reflection Stereo Blend". I don't know about everyone else.but I want to PLAY the darn thing.not sit there and muddle through a gazillion different tweaks. A perfect balance between TOO much (too complex) access of individual parameters, and TOO Little.įor instance, the 2101 gives you something like TWENTY (20) individual parameter to tweak for it's "GigaVerb" Reverb setting, alone. However, I trully feel that what is there, and more importantly, what paramaters are available for tweaking.are just right. No.the GSP1101's individual effect paramaters are NOT as deep as the 2101 series. The GSP1101 is replacing my Rocktron Xpression, if that can give you any guidance. To get a true sense of the GSP1101's capabilities, you should program your own, dry patch, with just an amp model activitated.and then slowly add on the effects you want.Ī shout out to Springfield, MA natives !! :BEER I hope you weren't making this judgement by demo'ing a preset that happened to have one of the built-in, modeled Compressor's activated.

I find the GSP1101 to be head and shoulders above the equivalent Line 6 POD products.ESPECIALLY in terms of dynamic range. Presence control is meant to adjust the high frequency response of the Power Tubes/Power section.not the preamp.Īnd we will have to agree to disagree about the dynamic range. So, if you are using the GSP1101 with an existing tube combo or head, use the Presence control on that. The "Presence" control would be on your seperate Power Amp.not the preamp. The delays are adjustable within 10 msec increments.which basically means you can tweak the delay time to exact amount. Guitarists typically care little about how amplifiers work and are interested only in how they sound.Not sure what you are talkin' about with the Delays. A guitar amplifier works by boosting the signal from a guitarso it can be sent to a loudspeaker and heard.
