Re: [gsp-2101] Long Shot PPC 210

2011-01-30 by chris.pelayo@sbcglobal.net

I've bought my 2101 new waaaaaaay back in the day. Still have it and last year I upgraded to the PPC210 which I bought from the one and only Deiter (look him up). Works perfectly and I now have seamless patch changes with ramping which was my primary goal in buying it. Tone-wise it really won't do anything for you unless you want bigger more complex algorithms. What I used to do to get that seamless effect was to assign multiple parameters to my expression pedal. It would function as my "lead" channel with a dist vol, 4 bands of the standard eq, any effect levels, etc all tied into that one expression pedal. Worked great for my metal solos but would be less good for distinctly different tones (dist to clean or overdriven to clean choruses, etc)...

Please let me know if this helps.

The best first step you can take is to upgrade your EPROM chips to version 3.00.00. These are occasionally available on eBay and add functionality to your 2101 which is well worth having, such as additional factory algorithms and programs, a bug-free operating system, and increased MIDI capabilities.
Also, make sure your 2101 has a 20 MHz clock rate. During power-up, your 2101 displays the software version (1.0.1 in your case). If this software version is followed by a lower-case letter a, you have the 20 MHz clock. If not, that's another upgrade worth considering.
After that, I'd get used to programming your 2101 before deciding that a PPC-210 is a "must-have". I have several 2101s, some with and some without the PPC-2101, and personally I don't think the additional functionality with the PPC-210 is worth the sticker price, which is typically $150.
My 2 cents. I hope it helps.

I know its a long shot, but I just bought a used 2101 with the software version 1.0.1 and I'm looking for a PCC 210 for it. I've been told that they aren't producing them anymore but I'm hoping someone has one laying around in a closet or something.

I'm also looking for a left end cap for the FC-1 as well.

Thanks and just email me if you happen to find either one of these items.
