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

Hi Kevin:

I was looking through some old email messages this evening and came across
your message of about two months ago.

Did you ever get your GSP-2101 up and running?

We just finished a new version of our MIDIWizard software that performs
GSP-2101 System Backup and Restore as well as some other pretty useful
features.  If you're interested in a free copy, let me know and I'll send
you one.

Hope you and your GSP-2101 are staying healthy.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,
Graham Pearson
