The Digitech GSP1101 thread.

[TimTomTum]

Sorry, 2 minutes more brought me the answer.

[Moro]

Christ man! This is so fast. I didn't have time to download C51 yet, and we're already at 54. I'm in awe. I think I might just wait for the dust to settle, I really can't keep up with this.

[Metalman X]

Holy Hell!!!!

I JUST switched to C54 this afternoon, and guess what?

C55 has JUST hit! Thought you guys would appreciate the heads up.

Go get it!

[Zugster]

The Digitech forums essentially told us to expect a C55 a few days ago to fix bugs reported in C54. I've been waiting for the dust to settle since the introduction of C49. I was hoping to install this weekend but probably I'll wait. I don't have endless hours to screw with multiple updates. I want to do this just once. I am really grateful for "Stan Ripley's" work on this.

Which do you guys think would be a better set up:

GSP1101 > Peavey Classic 30/30 > Avatar 1x12 cab
OR
GSP1101 > Best powered PA Cab I can afford

[TimTomTum]

Hey guys,
here my first serious mix using the 1101: tim-17 - ForsakenwithMark4 - SoundCloud
Please rate guitar sound, not drum mixing. Its not really tight. Afterwards i think i should have used less gain. But please, take a look!

Can you please upload your patch for the Mark iV patch? It's the best I've ever heard it sound on the gsp.

[TimTomTum]

Whaat? Really, i ve to admit: I googled JPs MarkIV setup and took his Settings. Then added a TS to cut lows and tried to copy his graphic eq with the post eq. I´ve used redwirez ubercab ir´s.
Here you go. I added .txt to make ss.org load it up. Just delete, should work then.
Thanks

[tatkovladko]

Could anyone please be kind enough to record and post something recorded direct using factory CAB sim and then same thing using an external IR he/she has loaded on the GSP?

Thank you in advance!

Hey guys, when updating the GSP1101, do you have to update it to every single version, or just jump to the latest update?

You can jump to the latest.

Quotes for no responses.

Also, on a scale of 1-10, 10 being a real amp, how close does the GSP1101 get to a "real" amp?

Quoting myself FTW...

I will jump in.

I use a 500 watt ss power amp and either a 1-12 Yorkville PA speaker or a marshall 2-12.
Switching back and forth I find the marshall great for band jams and high volume stuff. The PA just does not have that punch yet does sound good.
For low volume a single 1-12 PA will work ,for high volume punch you need to get into a larger high powered PA which is expensive, and heavy.

I rented a Mesa power amp and tested it back to back with my SS, it did sound better but not by enough to justify the price..for me.

If money is tight get a better SS amp for $200 and use your 1-12 or get a 2-12.

Comparing the GSP to the real thing is subjective to where your playing it and your experience with the real amp. I have been lucky enough to own most of the popular affordable amps and I feel its damn close.
If you know how to set it and are in a band situation its hard to tell the difference if not impossible. Its all in how you set it up.

My GAS for new amps is completly gone since my GSP, this is a first for me.

[JamesM]

So, I think I'm having trouble getting exactly the tone I want. I think. Have a listen?

Please ignore the awful guitar and drum playing. Guiness inspired this test!

Well, if you aren't opposed to using them in a convolution plugin, I use ReCabinet and am pretty pleased with it (it has its uses). There are just about as many anti-ReCab as pro-ReCab users out there, so it basically boils down to what you need and what you're willing to do.

I usually use Damien 212 or Ghandi 412, and among those with my GSP settings the "6L6 i5 Edge 45, 0.5" settings usually work pretty good for me. But try switching Mics around, sometimes the i5 isn't always best.

As far as putting impulses on the GSP, I have no idea.
I'm still running the factory firmware.

I left my USB cable-age back home. Orr....


Oh!

I am at Missouri University of Science & Technology

Getting the custom impulses can make a huge difference. I'm currently using redwirez impulses and some of them sound so good.

In terms of free impulses look for the catharsis studios impulses.

In particular s-preshigh has a hugely positive reputation on recording forums and the like. I'm going to try it with the GSP today.

Also, here is some retarded recorded-in-30-seconds-with-hardly-tweaked-tones mosh.

If someone wants to hear the GSP do something else that isn't just knuckle dragging chug with 80s snare reverb for 20 seconds give me a yell and I'll see what I can do.

[JamesM]

I'm curious as to what people have achieved for da djent? Surely since this is Djent Heaven, someone has developed a good one?
