A couple of points regarding the previous message
from StarString.
1. Harmonizers usually work better with a pure
guitar tone rather than a processed one. If you find the IPS 33B is having
trouble analyzing your guitar signal after the analog section of the GSP-2101,
put your guitar signal through your harmonizer before putting it through your
2101. I think you'll find this improves your tone particularly when using
the 2101's distortions.
2. The explanation of the FX Loop settings SUM
and NO SUM is not accurate. Here's the text from MIDIWizard's Help Topic
entitled "FX Loop Return":
Bypass the FX Loop Returns are off and
completely ignored. ; From the factory, every program in the GSP-2101 has
the FX Loop set to Bypass.
Summed the FX Loop Returns are summed together
with the guitar input signal using a 50:50 ratio. Use this setting if you
are using a second effects processor to augment the GSP-2101. In this
situation, you would connect the FX Send from the GSP-2101 to the input of the
second processor and then connect the output(s) of the second processor to the
FX Loop Return(s) of the GSP-2101.
No Sum if plugs are connected to the FX Loop
Return jacks, they are the primary signal source and any guitar input is
completely ignored. If there is no signal present at these jacks, you
dont hear anything from the GSP-2101. When the jacks arent used, No Sum
behaves the same as Bypass.
Use the No Sum setting if you have a second
effects processor and you want to bypass the analog section of the GSP-2101 (the
Compressor, Distortion, Analog EQ, and Master Volume). In this situation,
you would connect your guitar to the input of the second processor and connect
the output(s) of the second processor to the FX Loop Returns of the
GSP-2101.
