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

I bought the Tonelab SE, and after a couple of weeks of use, I sent it right
back to Musicians Friend.  It was really easy to use, but the tone was way
too thin.  Tone wise, I haven't been able to find anything that will take
the place of my 2101 as of yet.  It would be nice to have something lighter
than my rack for those times on the church platform, but I haven't been able
to turn my ears off as of yet.  My tone is part of my playing, and if I'm
not satisfied with it, I feel out of balance.

Blessings,

Brian
