fantastic concept with a couple goofs

I finally bought a guitar processor to replace the Digitech RP20 that I have loved for ten years. That in itself says a lot about the GSP1101. I play acoustic and electric in the same solo concerts, a ... read more [+]nd I need to uplug one, plug in the other, and go. Furthermore, I use a Lexicon JamMan in my setup, so I need a unit with thorough MIDI implementation. The GSP1101 has finally answered the call!
However, there are a couple major goofs that I wish I knew about. First (and most importantly), there is no way to change the delay time in a live situation other than switching or editing the preset. I need to set the delay time to quarter notes and prefer a tap-tempo function such as the RP20 and many other processors have. But currently (firmware version 2.0) the delay time cannot be mapped to a MIDI controller. Digitech knows they goofed and say they are in the final stages of developing an update that will fix this, but they will not even estimate a delivery date ("It will be posted when
completed").
The other goof is the XLR outputs: Basically, they make my acoustic (Taylor 414CE) sound muddy--like they always have speaker compensation even when I choose "Direct" for a cabinet model (strangely, the "Direct" model sounds exactly like the "DigiTech SpkrComp" model). The only way to get a clean sound is to use the 1/4-inch outputs and uncheck the "cabinet to amp" control (which apparently forces a bypass around speaker compensation). In my correspondence, Digitech did not acknowledge this as a problem and says, "The Direct cabinet means no cabinet model is active, but speaker compensation is a subtle eq application to the XLR outputs that is present and active all the time." Bottom line, for acoustic guitarists, the XLR outputs are useless.
I can live with the 1/4-inch outputs, and I trust Digitech to fix the delay-time issue, so I am not returning mine for a refund. Besides, I have programmed the daylights out of it and love everything else about it. So, in summary, we have a winner--I think. close [-]
