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

meh..Caps are caps. They look good and all, and when its working I don't 
hear any noises or anything but that doesn't mean they arent going bad. 
They can last a week or 20 years..

I do some "Hobbyist" electronics. I used to be a computer hardware 
programmer and repair- back when you didn't just swap out a sound card 
cause they costed 100's of dollars.. Ive also built a few amplifiers, a 
few stereo repairs etc. Plus I have a friend where I live that's fully 
certified in several major companies- Fender, Korg, and Yamaha to name a 
few. And he actually worked for those places testing circuits and 
helping with designs and such. What I don't know he helps me out with. 
So I'm good on experience for chasing down issues...

But thanks though!
