About Pre-amp and Distortion

Well, how do you (to all members with combo amps) use the Distortions of GSP with combo amps?
When I turn my dist on it sounds to "bright" because my amp use yours pre-amp too (two preamp sounds not good), I tried a distortion in the send return (tri od of sans amp) and its sound great, but I would like know from another users some solution or how do you.
P.S. (I\ufffdm getting good sounds putting a cab emulator in my algorithm, but the presets do not have one progamable and it is boreing me)
Thank\ufffds in advantage. (This is a great group)

I use an amp with no gain section (mesa strategy 400). I use an electro-harmonix electric mistress in the 2101\u2019s loop on certain patches.

Mine is patched through a stereo 15 band graphic EQ and then to a power 
amp and speaker cab. This works great because I can hands-on EQ for the 
room with the graphic and my patches do not have to be EQ-changed.
You could also accomplish this onboard the GSP2101 using the global EQ.
It is a little harder to use, since you have to call up that screen and 
make the changes by using the arrow switches and jog dial, but if you 
get it right pre-show, you might be able to leave it for the whole gig.
Trust me though a good EQ will do the trick, And Digitech built lots 
into the 2101.

You would be better off using a pedal befor the 2101 for distortion.Masking preamps can become flat and noisy sounding. Try using the 15 band eq in the 2101 and some different tubes in the 2101.
