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

The DHP-55 and it's close cousin the Studio 5000 (i.e. an upgraded 
DHP-55) are one of the best harmonizers I've used. They are very 
responsive and track very accurately, and give results pretty close to 
an Eventide.

Depending on what you are playing, adding the 5th, 7th and octave notes 
based on a major scale usually give a pretty good harmony. I usually 
set it up to give -12, -5, +5 +7 (the DHP-55 creates 4 notes plus the 
original note) or -12, +5 +7 +12. Tweak around with the volume balance 
between each harmonized note to get the sound you want.

Incidentally Steve Vai still has a DHP-55 in his gig rack. :)

Have fun experimenting.
