Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
In the market for an "ampless" electric guitar system I did a lot of research over the past few months, mostly took so long to wait on the Line6 Helix. I eventually bought the Digitech GSP1101 / Control 2 system for the following reasons: [a] it is apparently the only system that provides control over the "tails" when switching between presets. The AxeFXII and Kemper do tail the reverb and delay but I couldn't find where you can control it, whereas the GSP1101 allows you to adjust the tail time and fade per preset. The Helix, G-system, Eleven Rack, Prophesy, etc. do not tail across presets. [b] The GSP1101 only takes up one rack space. [c]the Control 2 doesn't need a separate power source, [d] the sounds produced by Digitech equipment are truly "legendary". [e] you get front panel control of the Amp gains and EQ. [f] You can send MIDI commands from the system to other units in your setup. [g] it has an fx/amp loop circuit. [h] You can assign the exp pedal to just about any parameter on any module in the library. [I] You can assign up to 2 LFOs per preset to control just about any parameter on any module in the library. I have been very happy with the tones and fx this unit produces and think I have made a wise choice. Quite amazing when I consider that I had $3000 budgeted for the new system and I only ended spending $800.
