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

When you buy off ebay, you have to buy from people that have an excellent feedback rating and many transactions if the purchase is of upmost importance as yours was. It should be over 100 transactions and no more than one or two bad feedback per every 100 transactions. The negative feedbacks should tend to look more like the other person's fault and not the guy selling what you want or at the very least an honest mistake by the seller.

I see then it appears there are a few souls on the list. I bought my gsp-2101 new back in the mid 90\ufffds. It\ufffds the chrome face Artist Pro with a ppc-210 installed I purchased at the same time. Recently I attempted to purchase an identical unit on eBay as a backup. At the same time my own unit died completely. I just pressed the power button and it lit up for a second and then went completely dark. Of course this happened days before an important gig. My backup has not yet arrived (another horrible story about paying for 2nd day shipping and not receiving item for 3 weeks). Anyway, it ended up being the transformer inside the 2101. Apparently the coils will eventually open and it will cease to work. A new transformer was about $40usd and I paid a guy $60usd to put it in. So if any of you have similar experience (1. sudden death of 2101, 2. no blown fuse) I would suspect the transformer. In fact having a spare transformer handy might not be a bad idea. Anyway back to the story. In my panic of approaching gig and no 2101 I ran out and purchased a TSR24S. This is basically a 2101 with only the digital section and no tubes, analog eq, compression or distortion. Nice unit. It came with a ppc-200 upgrade. I was going to use this with an ADA MP1 I had lying around and actually it wasn\ufffdt too bad except for the popping noise between patch changes from the MP1. So ended up with my repaired 2101 back (all patches intact YAY!), and my TSR24S setup. Now I have received the other 2101 (finally!). The listing on eBay had described an \ufffdLE\ufffd model with 255 presets and seamless patch changes but of course when I plugged it in guess what\ufffd 240 presets. I am pissed. No ppc-210. But ok here\ufffds my question hopefully you are still reading.

Can I somehow use the ppc-200 from the TSR24S in the 2101?

I believe they are both sdisc i. I am willing to make a new circuit board if necessary. Could it be possible that this is a simple \ufffdbolt right up\ufffd type of exchange? Anyone who has any knowledge of these units your advice would be greatly appreciated. Or, if anyone has a working email address to Dieter. I know he was a guru with both these units.

Thanks guys.
