The GSP-2101 has two sets of outputs that do slightly different things. Both the XLR and 1/4"
outputs provide great sounding audio signals, but the XLRs can also have the Cabinet Emulation
enabled (see pg. 20). Having both sets of outputs at your disposal can make things a little easier
for you in the studio.
Most mixing consoles have input channels that accept both XLR inputs and 1/4" line inputs. By
connecting the both the XLRs and 1/4" outputs to the mixing console, you can have the best of
both worlds at the flip of a switch. Use the XLR outputs with the Cabinet Emulation engaged
for your distortion tones. Then, switch to the 1/4" line inputs for crystal clean sounds when you
don't need the Cabinet Emulation filters.

The digital section of the GSP-2101 Artist is so powerful that it seems a waste to have it sitting
around during mix-down after you have finished tracking your guitar parts. Well don't let it sit
there! Put it to work!
If you'll remember, the 2101 has a stereo FX loop return. This means you have two inputs into
the digital effects section. Simply connect a couple Aux Effect Sends from your mixing console
to the stereo FX Loop return of the 2101. You can construct an Algorithm (or more!) that is
better suited for you studio mix-down needs. Also remember to turn the Gate OFF (since it is
looking at the guitar input for triggering information) and the Wet to Dry Mixer to ALL WET.
The two inputs can be used for true stereo processing or for running two independent signal
paths. A simple, yet very usable Algorithm is shown below:

LTERNATE
There are many basic ways to setup your GSP-2101 Artist. Using a single combo amp, perhaps
two, or perhaps a stereo power amp with a couple guitar cabinets. But what if you already have a
classic rig and you don't want to give up what it has to offer you. Well, the 2101 can interface
into several situations. Here is an example:
Suppose you own a 4x12 cabinet, with a classic sounding ( and plenty loud) Amp head. The
Amp head has a great tone of its own, so you don't want to lose that. Plug your guitar into the
input of the Amp head and then from the second input, daisy chain the 2101 input to the Amp
head (if your Amp head doesn't have a second input, a -Y- cable will work just as well).
