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

First in order to find out which one is bad you need a volt meter and know 
what the voltages are supposed to be at the different points.  That's kind 
of a hassle and you need a good volt meter to do that.  Instead I would 
just replace them all (since they are the cheaper variety) and replace them 
all with some better ones.
Even the really good ones are fairly cheap.  I will try to describe where 
they are.  Go to this webpage.

Look at the picture at the top.  In the upper left part of the 2101 right 
behind the black external heat sync..  You'll see a silver bar with two 
black screws there.  That's the heat sync that's on top of the voltage 
regulators (I'm 95% sure about this.  It has been awhile and my 2101 is not 
apart).  If you take the silver heat sync off you should be able to read 
the numbers on the regulators.  hope this helps.
