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

thanks for the input, I'll give this configuration a try.  but it 
seems that this one always has the full output of the 2101 going into 
the effects return of combo amp, and the full preamp of the combo amp 
going into the 2101.  It seems that through algorithm programming you 
could control which preamp governs, but I was hoping for more of the 
flexibility shown in the set up described in the manual that allows 
both preamps to be present in all algorithms, controlled by whether 
the FX Loop is set to Sum, No Sum or Bypass.  The problem with the 
set up on the manual is that you don't seem to ever be able to shut 
off the combo amp's preamp (i.e, the 2101 preamp, even when it should 
be primary, is alway "lurking" behind the combo's preamp).

Perhaps its the shortcoming of using a "y" connector instead of 
having dual inputs on the combo amp.

Any other users have luck with this setup?
