Mailist to discuss all issues regarding the Digitech GSP-2101 Guitar FX Processor

Great thread!

I have/had the same problem years ago and since then, I've had a little fan
placed
in my rack blowing on the 2101's rear to "band-aid" this issue. I should
have
looked into the voltage regulators instead I guess!

Can you tell me exactly which components are these voltage regulators?
I'm looking at the unit now and I'm thinking they might be U93,U91 and U92.
They are on the far left corner, clamped down, indirectly attached to the
heat sink. Am I correct?

Thanks
Sean
