UICK TART
For those of you who prefer to burn now and read later, we've included this Quick Start section
to help you do it right the first time.
Connect Cables: Connect audio input and output cables to the rear jacks. Balanced (tip-ring-
sleeve), unbalanced (tip-sleeve) or balanced XLR cables can be used with the output jacks. The
rear headphone jack permits you to use the GSP-2101 Artist without an amplifier.
Apply Power: Use the supplied AC power cord to connect the GSP-2101 Artist to an appropri-
ately grounded outlet. Be sure you run all your power cables away from audio cables. This will
prevent noise and stray magnetic fields from entering the signal path.
Effects Loop: Connect any external effects devices to the GSP-2101 Artist effects send and
return jacks. NOTE: External devices should return the same signal level to the GSP-2101
Artist as they receive from the GSP-2101 Artist. This will avoid level changes when switching
the effects loop in and out. This signal level relationship is called unity gain.
Connect Control One Foot Controller (if applicable): Connect the output of the optional
DigiTech Control One foot controller to the Foot Controller jack found on the rear of the GSP-
2101 Artist. DO NOT CONNECT ANYTHING BUT THE OPTIONAL DIGITECH
CONTROL ONE FOOT CONTROLLER TO THE FOOT CONTROLLER JACK ON THE
REAR PANEL! DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE DEVICE. IF YOU WANT TO USE MIDI
CONTROL, CONNECT THE DEVICE(S) TO THE MIDI IN JACK.
Adjust Input: Set the instrument to the loudest operating level that will be used. Make sure
your amp is set for a clean sound, that your tone controls are all neutral (flat), and the amplifier's
main volume is all the way down.
Adjust Output: Set the GSP-2101 Artist output level to the 12 o'clock position, and turn up
the amplifier's main volume to the desired level.
Select Program: Begin playing your guitar, and choose any program using the Data wheel, or the
Program Up/ Down buttons. Programs 1-100 are user-programmable, and you can modify and
store them as you want. Programs 101-240 are duplicates of the first 100. Programs 101-240 can-
not be overwritten.
