#Digitech gsp5 review manual#

To sum it up, I use the preamp of my Brunetti and the cab emulation of the GSP.

I control this multi-effects with the dedicated Digitech Control2 pedalboard.įYI, my amp head has three channels and a MIDI port, which allows me to control my presets and amp channels at the same time! Super handy. I play mainly metal, with an 8-string Schecter and a Brunetti XL2 R-evo tube amp, using the 4-cable method. The fact that it uses IRs for the cabs adds an incredible realism and definition (FYI, live, my amp isn't miked, I only use an IR cab emulation and go directly into the PA).

This firmware, developed unofficially, adds super advanced routing possibilities, and MORE IMPORTANTLY it allows you to import convolution cab emulations (IR impulse, 10 banks available). In my humble opinion, the preamp ought to be immediately upgraded to version C63 (as soon as you take it out of the box. You could say that Digitech has done an all-in-one unit, thought for live and studio.

It has rack-mountable format, 1U, and it has pretty varied connection options: XLR output to go directly to the PA, preamp loop to insert it into your favorite tube amp, midi, and usb. In short, anything, it's a small Swiss army knife.Įverything can be edited with the buttons or a PC with the Xedit software. Amps (based on models from Mesa, Marshall. We are in the presence of a digital multi-effects/preamp, in the line of the Line6 Pod and company.
