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

i am about to change my eproms.  im going from 1.02.00 or something 
to 3.00.00.  any tips and/or precautions?  also, what can i expect 
after upgrading in performance?  also, i have lots of u2 sysx files 
if anyone is interested in sharing some sysx files.  thanks.

I upgraded a few years back from 2.x to 3.00.00.a

I noticed that the EPROMS fit VERY tight in my sockets.  I also had to bend
the pins in a bit (which I understand is not unusual).  To do this, place
the entire row of pins on a table ledge and GENTLY apply pressure so the row
bends in toward the middle of the EPROM package.

Wasn't a difficult job, very straightforward once I had the pins lined up.
I believe you do a hard reset so back up whatever you want to keep because
it will be gone after the installation.

Don't know about performance from 1.x, but from 2.x you got the Artist
patches, the tuner and I believe some of the digital effects were improved.
Check the digitech site and they probably have a software revision history.

Cheers.

ok, i got the right tools and inerted the eproms.  when i put them in 
the way on the directions "with the notch towards the rear of the 
unit", i only get a red bar in the led screen.  when i put it in with 
the notch towards the front, the front panel lights up, but is 
unresponsive to hard reset.  any suggestions?
