Acquired a digitech 2120 artist!

Battousai · 10-11-2007, 06:06 PM

Well i have borrowed it actually from the other guitarist in the band.. he says its great for the studio .. i dont have an amp to plug it in at home so i have to wait till next week to try it out .. what do you guys think of it ?

any one used to own one of these?

Metal Ken · 10-11-2007, 06:14 PM

I've tried one. i like the 2101 a bit more. Despite what Dave and Mike say, they are great units

I got some pretty serious tones through it.

I have a 2112 which is basically the same thing but without the artist presets. I like it, it has some cool synth sounds and it's very tweakable.

I have a 2112 with the artist upgrade chip, so it's basically a 2120.

You'll love it. If you actually sit down with this thing for a few hours, the possibilities are endless.

Parametric EQ's are your friend. Be sure to use a module that at least has enough memory to use a parametric eq on sounds you really like, because this can be a night or day feature.

Also, if you're running stereo, be sure to make sure the unit is in stereo. For the first couple of YEARS I had this thing, I had no clue, and one day I just happened upon the Stereo/Mono thing and a whole new world opened up to me.

well i borrowed a marshall solid state amp and running it thru FX loop
its amazing i must tell you this little thing floored me
i tweaked a patch and its extremely close to the metropolis part I rythm tone and another which is exactly like metallica MOP era

what you need to do is post these patches

I need a Petrucci/Loomis tone for my new band

Scott · 10-13-2007, 03:56 PM

I had one. I miss it.

2120->Carvin TS100 was the best setup I ever had. And after that I had a Carvin V3, 5150, Mesa Mark IV. All nothing compared to the 2120/ts100 setup...

Except the Mesa, if I had a delay pedal, and a non-fucked up used mark IV that is....

Battousai · 10-13-2007, 07:46 PM

yeah its truly an amazing piece of gear!
im trying to persuade the guy to sell it to me...
i was gonna get a new amp next year(an Engl) but fuckit if i get a good tone out of this might as well go back to my get a rack setup plan!

i is le happies!

congrats dude

I also own the 2112. I feel bad for it though because there is no possible way for me to use it to its fullest extent... It is definatly the most versital piece of equipment I've ever used. If only I could afford a tube powermp and a Vader cab...
