Members EthylOH Posted January 30, 2012 Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 It seems like this preamp/processor is getting some love as of late in the HCAF. How about we make this into a tips/tricks/preset/suggestion thread? Mine is still running the factory firmware, but I think I may upgrade to the C63 firmware. Also, I have an FCB1010 foot controller, but programming the MIDI between these two is a pain in the ass. Right now, my FCB1010 will send program changes, but I can't figure out how to map the expression pedals to control the wah and pitch shifter. I think it is because I have the older EPROM on my FCB1010. I'll upgrade it eventually and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lenster Posted January 30, 2012 Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 Great multi FX unit.Currently using mine in 4CM with my Laney VH100R with excellent results. I've also modded my amp with a Sherlock Midi Mod kit, so when i change presets it will change to whatever channel i've programmed. Best rig i've ever had.

Members The Anomaly Posted January 30, 2012 Members Share Posted January 30, 2012 Great unit. Although I just went from using the 1101 with in-ears to my Peavey Rockmaster into a G-major II, and then into a Behringer G100 DI with speaker sim, but the 1101 isn't going anywhere, I can easily see myself using it again in some capacity.

Members mfergel Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have to admit that I haven't used mine in awhile. Not that I don't like it. Just haven't had time lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dcooper830 Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have one and I love it. But I only use a chorus and a delay pedal on my gigs these days so I only mess with the 1101 at home. I really enjoy hooking it up in different ways.. 4CM, effects only in the loop, or just straight into an amp. I haven't tried direct into a P.A. yet..... but that would be cool because I may go amp-less with one of my bands if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucius Posted February 1, 2012 Members Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have one and dig it. It replaced an entire rack of gear. Check out the vid I just did in my sig. I use the FCB1010 (last updated about 5 years ago not the UNO one) with no problems at all. It didn't take very long to set it up either. basically in Xedit just assign the controller # to the effect you want to control.

Members George Djentson Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 might be going back to one of these.... what is everyone's favorite model for: modern metal? 80s metal/rock? any presets and/or clips are appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tech21man Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 raceu4her did perhaps the best mesa boogie mark DI clip with the GSP 1101 but he erased it! He had done disposable heroes and pretty much nailed it. More or less better than some axe-fx mark clips that I searched when I was interested and before getting some real mesa boogie... But for value/sound/capabilities the made in usa GSP 1101 cannot be beat. I was really dissapointed that digitech goes the idon't sorry, the apple way with that gbp10 and that {censored}ing apple pedal they put out instead of improving the GSP 1101 and RP series with ...more power and effects actually and better I.R. capability.

Members UVguy Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 The Ola Englund 5150 preset and the E530 preset are very good. Currently tweaking the Ola one and recording in Reaper using the digi as the interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members satannica Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Cheers matey - really good demo! It's damn near impossible to find demos on youtube that aren't either recorded with some sort of 1970s mono tape recorder, or where the dude spends 9 minutes talking and talking and talking and christ this is tedious. Nice tones too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members framushead Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Totally in! I'm planning to stricly use mine for recording and late night practice sessions.. as well as effects unit for my vengeance. I would love to hear some tips on the gsp1101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members George Djentson Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 one thing that really made a huge difference for me when I previously owned one (interestingly the SAME exact unit will be in my possession as of tonight) is to load in some custom IRs (Redwirez was my preferred) and use those. Really woke up the processor for recording and direct usages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members framushead Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Nice... I'm using the settings from the c63 firmware still.. so I plan to use some of the IR's i have on hand to see how it sounds.. I really dig the 5150 sim the most so I cant imagine what its sounds like with a custom IR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 I have a HD500, but I still want to try a GSP1101. I am usually impressed with the RP500 and RP1000 when I play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really was surprised with mine.. I tried a pod hd bean.. and was all for it. But I was able to snag a gsp1101 and decided to give it a shot. I really think its got a lot going for it.. I wish digitech would have made this its flagship item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Its weird because I can never seem to run into a GSP1101. I would grab one if I found one cheap enough. I can say though, after the last time I checked out a RP500 a month or so ago, I was able to dial in the HD500 very close by using an ultra trebly compressor in front of the amps. I still think the effects on the DIgitechs are cleaner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stevetemp Posted April 9, 2012 Members Share Posted April 9, 2012 Great unit. Although I just went from using the 1101 with in-ears to my Peavey Rockmaster into a G-major II, and then into a Behringer G100 DI with speaker sim, but the 1101 isn't going anywhere, I can easily see myself using it again in some capacity. Ahilw back I saw a fella with a stompbox pedal board going PA direct having fairly respectable tone (as well as solid chops). Later I checked his gear, and he pointed to the G100 as the main reason. He's Behringer-sponsored, so I gave him a lil {censored} of course. He said "no. not trollin' ". And here ya go confirming it. I'd like to work it in with my Tonelab (maybe)...how do you have your rig set....any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members George Djentson Posted April 9, 2012 Members Share Posted April 9, 2012 in a similar vein as the behringer g100....I wonder how using the GSP1101 in to a powered monitor would work out? a lot of the axe fx guys run direct and then use a powered monitor (Mackie HD 1221 for example) I'm fond of the idea, just wanna try it out before i invest.
