Critic Reviews

Grail Tone - Digitech GSP1101 Review

grailtone.com

The DigiTech GSP1101 Multi-Effects Preamp & Processor impresses with its flexible rig integration and tone preservation. It stands out in its ability to seamlessly blend with existing setups using the 4-cable method, preserving the amp's natural tone while offering high-quality effects. It outshines competitors like the POD XT Pro, especially in feel and sound. However, the noise gate placement could use improvement, and the simplicity of the software may leave users unprepared for live adjustments. Overall, it's a solid choice for musicians seeking versatility and reliability.

Охуенная вещь

Один из моих самых любимых аппаратов. Самое хуевое, что в нем максимально хуевый тюнер и в блоке модуляции можно юзать только один эффект. В остальном - охуенный процессор.

john_hogg

phenomenal for price

TBH unless you go axefx and spend a lot of time with it then GSP1101 is still amount best available. C63 firmware is a must and gives lots of fixes and improvements + IR files.

Brilliant direct to PA or 4 cabled to amp.

Very Recommended

The Digitech GSP1101 gives to you a very natural sound, not like tubes obviously, but in my diary use i can ensure you gonna ear fidelity in pure expression.

I use this multi effects processor to play Metal but if you play another kind of music i don't think it's going to fail you. Sorry for my english, not my native language. Greetings!

What gear did you use for the regular guitar sounds? Tipton: I used my Hamer GT Phantom— my favorite guitar—for a lot of the rhythm and lead tracks. It has EMG 81 pickups, wired at 18 volts, and an SG-type neck that’s slightly slimmer and not as round as a Stratocaster’s. I’ve got another GT Phantom with Seymour Duncan Livewire Metal LW-HMET pickups, too. I also used a guitar with a modified Hamer shape that was built by a guy named John Diggins. It has a more bassy sound. I like simple guitars, and I don’t like tone controls. The GT Phantom only has a 2-way switch, and I can get all the tones I want from that or the EQ on my rack. I also used a ’61 Fender Stratocaster on a couple of things for a cleaner sound. We plugged into a DigiTech GNX3 and a DigiTech GSP1101 preamp, but we also used other old preamps such as the Piranha, a ’76 Marshall JMP 50-watt head through a ’76 Marshall 4x12 loaded with Celestion greenbacks, a Marshall MG15DFX combo, and even little practice amps. There’s still nothing like the crisp edge of a miked-up sound. We used Shure SM57s and some ribbon mics and experimented with positioning two orthree mics at a time.
