2. USB

The USB jack connects the GSP1101 to a computer and serves two purposes. First, it

lets the GSP1101 communicate with the X-Edit Editor/Librarian software. Second, it is

used to stream four channels of audio (2 up/2 back) to and from the computer when

using the GSP1101 with recording software. USB drivers must be installed prior to

Rear Panel

8. Mixer.Outputs.(XLR)

The XLR outputs are designed to connect to a recording device or mixing console.

These outputs always have speaker compensation active because they are intended to

be connected to a full a range audio system. These outputs can have a fixed output

level (+4dBu or –10dBV) or their level can be variably controlled using the front panel

Output Level control. See page 44 for information about setting these options.

9. Ground.Lift.Switch.

If you hear humming or buzzing in the mixer outputs, pressing this button may stop it.

This switch lifts pin 1 of the XLR Mixer Outputs from all ground references. This may

help break troublesome ground loops that cause hum in the system, especially when

both XLR and 1/4” outputs are used together.

10. Line.Outputs

These 1/4” outputs can be plugged into a guitar amplifier or into a mixer or recording

device. The front panel Output Level knob controls their level. See page 9 for

information about the several output options available for the Line Outputs.

11. Loop.Left.(Mono).Return./.Right.Return.

Use these inputs (along with the Send.output) to create an effects or preamp loop.

The GSP1101 Loop provides a mono send/stereo return signal path for use with

external effects devices or preamps. When used as an effects loop, it behaves as an

on/off serial loop path for an external effects device. When used as a preamp loop, the

GSP1101 can switch in an external guitar preamp or use the internal amp modeling

preamp. See page 45 for information on configuring the Loop.

12. Effects.Loop.Level.(-10dBV./.+4dBu).

Optimizes gain structure of effects loop return for use with different external devices.

When set correctly, this switch improves the noise and distortion performance of the

loop return.

When pushed in, sets the gain for use with line level (+4 dBu nominal) devices. The

Return gain is reduced. When this switch is in the out position, it sets the gain for -10

dBV (nominal) external devices (commonly battery powered or guitar amplifier units)

and the Return gain is increased. Loop send is always –10dBV nominal.

13. Loop.Send

This output sends signal to your effects or to the input of a preamp (see #11 above).

Using.the.GSP1101

GSP1101 Basics

The GSP1101 lets you choose from 99 presets, each one a different combination of effects,

amp and cab models, EQ and other settings.You can edit, rename, and save presets as

well. Note that there are 99 Factory presets and 99 User presets.When shipped from the

factory, the Factory and User presets are identical.You can only store changes to the User

presets. See page 13 for more information about using presets.

Using DigiTech’s exclusive Tone and Effect Libraries, you can also select ready-made

combinations of distortion/amp tones using combinations of post-amp effects (Chorus,

Modulation, Pitch, Delay, and Reverb). Press either the Tone Library or Effects Library

button to gain access to simple-to-use building blocks that will help you create your sound.

See page 14 for more information about the Tone and Effects Libraries.

The Preamp knobs on the front panel give you easy access to Gain, Bass, Midrange,Treble,

and Amp Level settings.

The GSP1101 supports up to eight expression links per preset that can control parameters

in real-time. With expression links, you can assign parameters to be controlled by MIDI

CCs, internal LFOs, or an expression pedal. See page 40 for more information.

Since there are many possible ways to connect the GSP1101 to different amps and audio

systems, the best place to start is by using the Setup Wizard.The Setup Wizard asks you a

few simple questions about how your rig is connected. Through the following screens you

will be given several options that will help optimize the GSP1101 with your rig.

Editing a Preset -Tone and Effect Libraries

The GSP1101 is designed to make preset editing and creation easy and intuitive. When

creating your own sound, you must first start with an existing preset. Note that the preset

you begin with doesn’t have to be in the memory location you intend to have it reside,

since you can store it to any User preset location during the store procedure.

The easiest way to start is by using the Tone Library and Effects Library menus. The Tone

Library button will let you select from a variety of pre-programmed amp/distortion tones

based on different musical styles. The Effects Library button will let you select from a

palette of effects chains, from simple delays to full multi-effect signals with modulation, delay

and reverb. Use the Effects Level button to increase or decrease the overall Chorus/FX,

Delay and Reverb levels if desired. Using these three controls should get you close to a

sound you are after. From there you can then use the Edit/Select knob to navigate through

the individual effects for some fine tune edits.

To.Select.a.new.Tone.Library.Setting

1. Use the Edit/Select knob to select the preset you wish to edit.

2. If you find a preset close to what you want, you can begin editing the effect parameters

by pressing the Edit/Select knob twice and selecting the Effect you want to edit.

3. If you are trying to find something different from the existing presets, begin by using the

Tone Library, Effects Library and Effects Level buttons to get close to a sound you want.

4. Press the Edit/Select knob twice to begin selecting the individual Effects to edit their

parameters.

When you modify a parameter after selecting a Tone or Effects Library, when you return to

the Tone or Effects Library screen you will see “Custom/<xx>” where <xx> is the name of

the Tone or Effects LIbrary and Custom means it has been modified.

Editing a Preset - Individual Parameters

Once you have created a sound using the Tone and Effects Libraries, you can further refine

the sound by editing the individual parameters within a preset to customize it. After you

edit a preset, you must save it or the changes will be lost when you turn off the GSP1101.

The GSP1101 comes with 99 Factory presets and 99 User presets. Initially, the User

presets are exact copies of the Factory presets. You can only store changes to a User

preset. Factory presets can not be changed. For more information about specific parameters,

see page 22.

To.Edit.a.Preset

1. Press the Edit/Select knob twice.The Preset Edit screen appears.

2. Turn the Edit/Select knob to highlight an effect.

3. When the desired effect is highlighted, press the Edit/Select knob to open its Edit

menu.

4. Turn the Edit/Select knob to highlight a parameter. If a triangular arrow appears to

the right of a parameter, it means a sub-menu exists inside that parameter. If there is no

arrow, but there is a value (like “Off” next to the “Global Cabinet” option), that means

you can change the value by pressing the Edit/Select knob.

Arrows

5. Press the Edit/Select knob to edit the selected parameter.

6. Press and hold the Back.button to return to the Preset screen.

7. Store your changes with the Store procedure (described below). If you don’t store your

changes, they will be lost when you select another preset or turn off the GSP1101.

To.Store.and.Rename.a.Preset

You can cancel this process at any time by pressing the Back.button.

1. Press the Store.button.The first character of the preset’s name flashes.

2. If you want to rename the preset:

Turn the Edit/Select knob to change the selected character.

Turn the Gain knob to select a different character in the name. Note that characters

that are “pushed” off the screen are deleted.

Turn the Bass knob to move the entire name in the display.

Turn the Midrange.knob to switch the selected character between uppercase and

lowercase.

3. Press the Store.button again. The graphic display reads “Location to Store” and the

numeric display flashes.

4. Turn the Edit/Select knob to select a new User Preset location.

5. Press the Store.button again.The preset is now saved.

Editing Expression Links

The GSP1101 lets you control parameters with an optional expression pedal or with MIDI

CC messages via a MIDI foot controller or computer MIDI sequencer. It’s a two step

process: first you assign a MIDI CC number to a “Controller” within the GSP1101, then you

assign that Controller to the parameter you want to control. This way, if you change MIDI

foot pedals (which often have different MIDI CC assignments), you only have to update the

Controllers.You don’t have to change MIDI CC assignments in every preset that has one.

For more information about preset expression links, see page 40.

For more information about setting up Global Controllers, see page 49.

More About Editing Presets

Editing a preset is simple. Just press the Edit/Select knob to open the Main Menu screen,

turn the Edit/Select knob to scroll through the available parameters and options, and press

the Edit/Select knob to select a parameter or change an option.

Arrows

If a triangular arrow appears to the right of a parameter, it means a sub-menu exists inside

that parameter. If there is no arrow, but there is a value (like “Off” next to the “Global

Cabinet” option), that means you can change the value by pressing the Edit/Select knob.

Plus Sign

If a plus sign appears to the left of an effect, it means it’s active (turned on) in the selected

preset.

Small x

If a small x appears to the left of an effect parameter or option, it means it’s been changed

from its default value.

Press the Back button (next to the Edit/Select knob) to back out of sub-menus, and

eventually return to the preset’s main screen (thus ending the editing session).The Back

button DOES NOT cancel changes you’ve made to a preset or menu, but does cancel the

Store procedure.

Note that you must save any changes you make while editing (using the Store button), or

your changes will be lost when the GSP1101 is turned off or a new preset is selected.

Seamless.Time

Presets in the GSP1101 that use delays and reverbs can have their repeats and reverb tails

heard to completion even after changing to a new preset. This is referred to as a “Seamless”

preset change. For more information, see page 41.

LFO.Settings

The GSP1101 has 2 programmable LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) per preset that can

be assigned to automatically control parameters. The LFO will automatically control the

parameter between the minimum and maximum range as defined by the Expression Link

using the LFO waveform shape and speed set in this menu. For more information, see page

19.

Preset.Level

Each of the presets in the GSP1101 can have a specified programmed level.

To.change.the.level.of.a.preset

1. Press the Edit/Select knob twice to enter the preset edit screen.

2. Turn the Edit/Select knob until the Preset Level menu is selected and press the knob.

3. Use the Edit/Select knob to change the preset level.

4. Store these changes to the preset using the Store procedure if these changes are to be

recalled later.

the GSP1101 has to offer, plus options for assigning Expression Links, setting the Seamless

Time, adjusting LFO Settings, and the Preset Level. Select any item in this sub-menu to

open its own sub-menu, where you can adjust individual settings and parameters. Note that

parameter edit menus include the words “Hold <Select> to add link.” That means you can

assign the current parameter to an Expression Link by pressing and holding the Edit/Select

knob. For more information about assigning links, see page 40.

The effects and amp and cabinet models are described in detail starting on page 23. The

other features (Expression Links, Seamless Time, LFO Settings, and Preset Level) are

described on pages 40 - 42.

I/O Setup

Here you can adjust various aspects of the GSP1101 XLR, 1/4”, and USB outputs. You

can also select the type of loop you want to use, and select a global cabinet if desired. For

detailed descriptions of this menu’s options, see page 43.

Global EQ

This seven-band graphic EQ affects all presets. It’s best used for customizing your tone to

fit the acoustics of a particular room. When creating and adjusting presets in the studio, we

recommend leaving the Global EQ flat. See page 47 for more information about the Global

EQ.

MIDI Menu

This menu contains all the GSP1101’s MIDI-related control, including selecting a MIDI

channel, mapping presets and MIDI CC messages, MIDI merge and MIDI tempo. See page 48

for more information about these MIDI controls.

Preset Load

When set to “Auto,” presets load automatically, as soon as their number appears in the

graphic display. When set to “Manual,” you must select a preset by turning the Edit/Select

knob, and then load the preset manually by pressing the knob.

Depth

Adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the modulating pitch. Ranges from 0 to 99.

ROTARy SPEAkER

The Rotary Speaker emulates a device that included a spinning horn and woofer. The

rotation of these two speakers produced an interesting combination of the sound panning

from side to side. This produced a slight pitch change due to the speed of the sound

coming towards, and then going away from the listener. Parameters include:

Speed

Adjusts the rate (Speed) of the spinning speakers. Ranges from 0 to 99.

A vibrato is an effect that modulates the pitch of the incoming signal.This takes the whole

signal slightly in and out of tune at a steady pace. The DigiTech^®VibroPan also incorpo-

rates an automatic panner with the vibrato effect that creates a lush chorus-like sound.

Parameters include:

Speed

Adjusts how fast the signal is being modulated.

Depth

SEAMLESSTIME

Presets in the GSP1101 that use delays and reverbs can have their repeats and reverb tails

heard to completion even after changing to a new preset. This is referred to as a “Seamless”

preset change. Each preset can have a specified seamless time before the preset is no

longer heard. There are two settings that control seamless time: Hold Time and Ramp Time.

Hold Time is the time frame from when a preset has been changed until the Ramp Time

takes effect. Ramp Time is the time it takes to ramp the output of the previous preset to a

muted state (i.e. If the Hold Time is set to 1.0 second and Ramp Time is set to 1.0 second,

after a preset change, the previous preset’s delays and reverbs will be heard at full volume

for 1 second. At the 1 second point, the Ramp Time will take effect and the delay repeats

and reverb tails will be ramped to a muted state – 2 seconds total).

To.set.up.Seamless.Time

1. Press the Edit/Select knob twice to enter the preset edit screen.

2. Turn the Edit/Select knob until Seamless Time is highlighted and press the Edit/

Type of Loop

The GSP1101 features a configurable Loop that can be utilized as either an Effects Loop or

as a Preamp Loop. Depending on how you intend to use the GSP1101 in your system, you

can select the loop to work in either of these two ways. As an Effects Loop, the GSP1101

offers a way to connect an external effects device that can be turned on and off within

the signal chain. When configured as a Preamp Loop, you can connect an external guitar

preamp, or if your guitar amplifier has an effects send/return, you can integrate its preamp

with the GSP1101 effects and switch between using an external preamp or the internal

GSP1101 amp/preamp modeling. There are three options for how the GSP110 Loop can be

configured:

Effect.Loop

This option configures the Loop to behave like a standard series effects loop. External

effects are connected as if they were inline effects that are switched in and out. If the

external effect has an effect balance or mix control, this control should be set to a 50/50

mix of wet/dry signal.

External.Preamp.Only

This option configures the Loop as a global external loop for use with your favorite

preamp. All presets will utilize the external preamp as the primary tone source and

bypass any GSP1101 amp/preamp models even if they are active in the preset. Only use

this option if you do not ever want to use any of the internal amp/preamp models the

GSP1101 has to offer.

Int/Ext.Preamp

This option configures the Loop to work with both an external preamp source and the

internal GSP1101 amp/preamp models. This option lets you switch between internal and

external preamp sources and program them on a preset basis.

MIDI Menu

The GSP1101 offers comprehensive MIDI implementation for use with external MIDI

hardware and software controllers. The MIDI menu is where all MIDI related control is

programmed. The MIDI menu also is where the global CC/Controller map is programmed

which provides the link between outside MIDI messages to control internal GSP1101

effects parameters. By assigning each CC message to a Controller, and then assigining the

Controller to a parameter, you can change MIDI footswitches, and you only need to remap

the new CCs to the previously assigned Controllers.Your presets will react as they always

did. This eliminates the need to rewrite all your presets to adapt to your new foot pedal.

Channel

The GSP1101 can respond to preset and CC messages as long as these messages are on the

channel selected by the GSP1101.

To.set.the.MIDI.channel

1. From the Preset screen, press the Edit/Select knob.

Preset Map

The MIDI Preset Map feature allows you to access any of the GSP1101’s presets using standard

MIDI program change messages. From the factory, the GSP1101 is set to access User presets 1-99

with MIDI program change numbers 1-99. MIDI program change numbers 101-128 access Factory

programs 1-28. The GSP1101 can respond to incoming MIDI preset messages and change to those

presets. Sometimes, incoming MIDI preset messages need to be remapped (MIDI preset 1 should

change to GSP1101 preset 12). The MIDI Preset Map menu is where these functions are set.

map to a GSP1101 preset. The bottom line of the Preset Map selects the internal preset the

GSP1101 will recall for the selected MIDI program number.

5. Press the Back button to return to the previous menu.

CC/Controller Map

The GSP1101 uses a Global Controller map for routing incoming MIDI CC and Expression Pedal

messages to Expression Links within in a preset. There are 16 Global Controllers, each of which

can be assigned to a different MIDI CC or the Expression Pedal. Once these Global Controllers are

set up, you can then link up to eight Controllers to individual parameters in presets for customized

functionality. From the factory, the Global Controllers have been assigned to some MIDI CCs

already, but feel free to make changes to these assignments for your own needs.
