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

Hi Gerry,

Even with the treble turned all-the-way down, and the bass and mids
all-the-way up, the unit was just way too bright and thin.  I had read some
where that there was some possible quality control issues, so maybe I just
got one of the bad ones off of the line or something.  For ease of use, it
was great, but that's about it.

Blessings,

Brian
