Solid State; Analog 7-Band Geq - DigiTech Artist GSP-2101 Owner's Manual

While turning the distortion OFF gives you a clean sound, many guitarists prefer the sound of
the tube when it is not overdriven. We call this the Clean Tube setting. It uses the first 12AX7
tube and has one gain control. This clean setting can still be used for very subtle distortion when
Gain1 is set very high.
Solid State Distortions: The GSP-2101 Artist has three solid-state distortions. These three dis-
tortions are: OVERDRIVE - A gentle overdrive with extra punch for bluesier tones. HEAVY
SUSTAIN - Smooth, warm distortion sound with a lot of sustain. Great for really smooth lead
tones. GRUNGE - This has tons of gain with loads of bottom end, while still remaining tight
and highly focused.
Distortion Parameters are as follows:
Effect On / Off: Turns the Module on or off. When Modules are turned off, their
Parameters are not displayed. To see the Parameters, you must turn the Module on.
Distortion Type: Selects the type of distortion to be used in the Program. They are:
SATURATED TUBE , DISTORTED TUBE , CLEAN TUBE , HEAVY SUSTAIN,
and GRUNGE
Distortion Gain(#): Controls the gain stage(s) of the distortion. Solid state distortions
have one gain stage, and tube distortions (except CLEAN TUBE) have two. In tube dis-
tortions, GAIN1 and GAIN2 act independently to produce different tonal characteris-
tics at different setting combinations.
Analog 7-band GEQ: Included in every 2101 Program, is a seven-band analog graphic equalizer
with ±12 dB cut or boost in 2 dB steps. Frequency centers are: 80, 160, 320, 640, 1.28k, 2.56k,
and 5.12k Hz. Use the [NEXT] and [PREV] keys to select the frequency you want to modify. Use
the Data wheel to boost or cut the selected frequency.
