The next software update has not been finalized. We are juggling our testing resources to get it done. As per the final updates/improvements...I have to hold off for a final answer from the powers that be. I'm pushing for many that will address everybody's concerns here on the forum. I wish I could be more helpful. Give me a few weeks.

S7eve, you sooooo deserved a DigiTech endorsement! I'm so looking for one in Europe while I'm there! I hope I get as happy with my as you did with yours

My signal path: Gibson LP Studio > TS-9 > Lifesound Horizon (Dual Recto + Fender Bassman clone) > POD X3 Live (loop, fx only) > Lifesound custom 2x12" loaded with Eminence Legends

I started smoking when I was 13 or 14, I smoke a pack a day now an I wish I could go back in time an kick my own ass. - matt397

Hi folks!!

I got my unit!!! past 2hours with it!!! and god I like this thing!!! I dialed some crushing tones in 2minutes, with the markIV, 5150, JCM800/900. I can't be more happy.

But it is me or the two rectifier model are unusable??? They sound bassy, fuzzy and digital like hell... I'm missing something?? Any of you get good tones from them?? Any tips for me??
(I'm on the c48beta)

Thanks!

Jeb

I've read that the c48 Beta Update made things a bit brighter and thus the Recto models sound a bit off. In my opinion the GSP does everything great except the Recto models.

Nah I don't deserve an endorsement, I suck at guitar. I am hoping that they let me be a beta tester for this new firmware though. If anyone at Digitech reads this and wants to send me a second GSP1101 I'll put it in the header of my site, wait a sec I already did that I'll be your best friend

They are usable, they just seem to be as hard to dial in as the real thing. They are great for those moments you just have to play Type O

Boost helps.

Please no I never want to hear a Djent clip from this, the Pod and AFX has enough of those and if people start to record Djent or Core on these everyone here will want one, how will I feel superior then? Oh wait I'm still a mod, I can ban people

Don't mind my terrible playing in this one but it was a quick test before class of some sound directly into the pc via USB. I literally had to run out the door after finishing since I was running out of time haha.

I got another post of some different settings, it seems like today I am really making things sound like 80's metal so I figured I'd go with it.

All the patches I've used are singtall patches with the legacy poweramp. If anything is changed it may be just gain levels or amp levels.

(Hi-Fi again, of course)

So, I know that this is going to seem a bit off topic for the direction the thread is going in right now but I think this will be the best place for me to ask this. Before setting my sights on the GSP I was going to go with a pod x3. I was going with the pod x3 mainly because the Vetta was out of my price range. Now, however, I have an opportunity to get a Vetta II for a great price ($800) and I'm super tempted. Thoughts?

Now, I don't have a lot of first hand experience with the GSP1101. I played it for a little bit in a store for about half an hour, so I do have some idea of it's potential. Though, do take what I say with a grain of salt.

Basically, both the GSP1101 and Vetta have the ability, with the right settings, to sound absolutely amazing, so it all comes down to the set-up which fits you best.

If you're looking to go for a rack set-up and buy a power amp, and a rack, them the GSP is a fine choice.

If you're looking to just get the ease and simplicity of an all in one head unit (both pre-amp and power-amp in one package) then the Vetta is more "up your alley".

They both have various strengths and weaknesses, so you should really read up on both devices.

I have been quite a bit. The problem is, I'm fairly fluid when it comes to what type of rig I'm looking to build at this point. Especially considering that, while the Vetta is a head, it's basically the equivalent of an all in one rack setup anyway. The fact that I don't have either one available to try out also makes this rather difficult. When it was a case of the Vetta being much more expensive than setting up a whole rack with the GSP the decision was clear cut.

Even though I'm gassing for a Vetta like nobodies business, I'm gonna recommend you go with the GSP, for no other reason that it's a lot more flexible for future use.

While that might not seem like much now, if you ever decide you want to go with a more "straight up" amp set-up, the Vetta will not integrate, at least easily, but the GSP works very well with amps.

If you're fairly confident that you're not gonna be going the "real amp" route any time soon, go for the Vetta.

I look at it this way. Modelers are only going to be getting better and cheaper with time. Just like computer hardware. With a rack setup and modular components it should be easier and cheaper to upgrade incrementally. With an all in one package like the Vetta you have to replace more if you want to upgrade.

On the other hand if you get such a great deal that you're cash ahead anyway then it could be good. A deal is only great if its for something you want. Do you want a Vetta?

Lets talk cost. The GSP1101 rack I posted below (with the cool green lights ) cost me $1100 for: rack case, power amp, power conditioner, 1101 and contol 2. Cab is separate. That's only $300 more than your Vetta deal. Is this a Vetta II or the older unit? If you'd be happy with it, then it could be a good grab. Otherwise you could feel trapped by it down the road.

Any of you GSP1101 folks with the Control 2 board, can you tell me if you can switch between wah and volume in the same patch with the toe switch on the expression pedal? Like do volume swells and shit, then click down, and have the expression be your wah?

Thinking about downgrading from the Axe to save a bit of cashish.
