Techno mixed, 2 lamps entry for some of the distortion, analog preamplifier and then by two DSP processors for mine (2101 Limited Edition). Otherwise, an expandable DSP by the additional DSP card ppc 210.
Connectors: 1 x stereo jack to 6.3 for power amp or combo. 1 x stereo XLR recording console of choice for simultaneous inter HP. 1 stereo return effects loop, headphones, instrum entrance to front and rear. Noon-through / in / out. 1 socket connection digitech pedalboard.
Rich sound quality, high-quality reverb, can be used as input directly on the table.
Presets not evil, then we can easily develop his style. I confirm the staining instruments unusually low for this type of device. It is well recognized his instrument. Delays sometimes need a bit of filtering low pass filter to reduce harmonics. The operation of the compressor could be stronger. Pitch shifters, harmonizer intelligent etc etc. Decidedly one will not find better prices for secondhand. Having the second processor board is recommended instead for more flexibility. I have a 2101LE, there was original.

UTILIZATION

We can not say that the device is simple. Those who are afraid to try and spend hours to fully develop their sound, let go and take this wonderful tool for analog stompboxes. For other: a world of possibilities opens. We also like the effect loop serial control / off / parallel, which allows to use other effects and control their use via One Control pedalboard or a MIDI pedal. The pedal control one is definitely outdated but nevertheless represents a facility that will be difficult to setup with a MIDI pedal. A U.S. computer expert has developed yet another soft Midiwizzard "which allows the full control of the device. Mine is running XP SP3 without problems. No idea about the use with Windows 7.
Apart from a battery change ts 3 years to properly maintain the RAM for the user effects the device is rather reliable. Over 8 years of almost weekly trips the only failure was a faulty power connector (found at home - phew!), I was able to repair itself. No idea how it will evolve because the device is now 15 and I do not know how my "box full of silica" is likely to fail.

OVERALL OPINION

User fierce for 8 years I particularly regret that Digitech has not continued to play in this range. That's really what they've done the best thing since forever. Even the 1101 has not matched the level of this beast. There are now Ultra Fractal Audio FX but good god, what price (2100 Euro)! For now I prefer my 2101LE secondhand. However, these devices are beginning to have done their time (mine is 15 years old ...), and I'm starting to seriously consider his replacement for 2011, the choice will be very hard! There is an end to everything.
I would advise any and everyone who is looking for a camera of professional quality, reliable and used for a very affordable price. Usable and configurable for all styles of music including rock, blues, metal, hardcore, punk, country, funk, Balloch finally .... tutti quanti ...
If the score remained at 9, it is purely for age, and because there Eventide & Fractal Audio. But at its price level it is clear that 15 years is the 2101 champion absolut.
