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

Hello,

I've got some other problem with my C1 controller.

When I use the footswitch for activating particular preset then the
unit "remembers" the state of the expression controller (instead of
the value stored in the preset parameters) and for e.g. the volume
increases to the full level while the presets are set to match the
level between the presets. I opened the controller and clean the dust,
I have done a complete reset of the GSP2101 and the problem persist.
It does not happen all the time and I think (but I'm not sure) that
not all of the presets reacts in this way. Lets say that when I change
continuously between two presets then half time the volume matches the
position of the footswitch instead of the written value. I also tried
to connect an external expression pedal and the problem still has been
present with a use of external pedal instead of the built-in one.

My unit is 3.00a/20 MHz, PPC installed. I have never experienced such
problem before. Some time ago the whole unit has crashed and the hard
reset was needed. The unit was then serviced and setup according to
the information from Dieter's page (test procedures).

Before I have had a controller that was worn a lot and I have recently
replaced it with the controller in as new condition. The controller
worked fine for 2 months and recently the problem appeared.

Could you please advice?

Cheers,
Filip

Here's a copy of MIDIWizard's On-Line Help that describes this process:

Foot Switch".  Move your expression pedal to link it to the selected
parameter.  Your 2101's LED confirms the new link.

 Press function key [3] and use the DATA wheel to specify the
parameter value corresponding to the full forward toe-down pedal position.

for a while, you'll want to change these settings.  The help topic
entitled "Changing Minimum and Maximum Foot Switch or Expression Pedal
Settings" describes how to do this.
