MGR/J.KIDD, VISALIA « DigiTech Artist 2120 »
Published on 12/01/01 at 15:00I HAD PURCHASED THIS ITEM AFTER PLAYING THOUGH ONE IN A BAKERSFIELD MUSIC STORE WHILE ON THE PROWL TO FIND SOME GEAR FOR MY RACK. I HAD READ ABOUT THEM IN MUSICIANS FRIEND CATALOG AND WAS INTRIGUED. I WAS ALREADY PLAYING THROUGH A DIGITECH PRO 21GSP THAT WAS UPGRADED WITH A LEGEND CHIP. BUT I WANTED THE TREMELO SOUND WITHOUT HAVING TO ADD EXTRA FLOOR PEDALS. AFTER PLAYING THIS "COOL LITTLE BEAUTY" I HAD TO HAVE IT,BUT I COULDN'T AFFORD TO SPEND THE $949.00 FORM MUSICIANS FRIEND. SO I TURNED TO E-BAY AND FOUND SEVERAL. I STARTED BIDDING ON ONE UNTIL I COULDN'T AFORD TO GO ANY MORE. I HIT ON ONE FOR $700.00 PLUS SHIPPING.
THE SOUNDS ON THIS ARE REALLY COOL. PLUS I LIKED THE FACT THAT I COULD KEEP MY SOUND IN THE TUBE REALM. I HAD PLAYED FOR YEARS SOLID STATE,AND WASN'T HAPPY WITH THE WAY MY SOUND WAS COMING OUT SO I GOT RID OF THE TWO COMBO AMPS, AND BOUGHT A PEAVEY 60/60 STEREO RACK AMP. HEAVEN AGAIN; SINCE I STARTED PLAYING WHEN TUBES WERE THE ONLY THING AVAILABLE.
DUAL DISTORTION PATHS (TUBE & SOLID STATE) GAVE ME AN EDGE THAT BLEW AWAY MY BUDDIES! I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE MANY PRESETS THIS UNIT HAD TO OFFER.I COULD PLAY THE SURF SOUNDS AGAIN.OR SOME NASTY BLUES,COUNTRY,OR MODERN ROCK. SOUND LIKE BRIAN MAY FROM QUEEN;IF WANTED TO.OR BB KING. NAME IT I COULD DO IT.
I WASN'T TOO THRILLED ABOUT HAVING TO MAKE A SHORT PATCH CORD TO CONNECT THE DIGITECH'S INPUT FROM THE FRONT. ALL THE REST OF MY CONNECTIONS ARE IN THE REAR. NOR WAS I PLEASED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO RANDOMLY ACCESS PATCHES ON THE FLY LIKE MY GSP. HEAR THAT DIGITECH! ALSO THE MANUAL IS TOO VAGUE.
EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS UNIT IS A MAJOR PLUS. EASY ACCESS IN THE REAR. LOTS OF CONTROLS ON THE FRONT PANEL.JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A HIGH PRICED PROCESSOR.PLUS THE PURPLE FACE ADDS A LITTLE COLOR TO MY RACK.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WANTING TO BE ABLE TO CREATE THEIR OWN SOUND WITH ALL THE EFFECTS AVAILABLE IN THIS UNIT WITHOUT HAVING TO DO THE "FRED ASTAIR TOE TAP DANCE". AS ONE WOULD DO WITH STOMP BOXES. YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY IT FOR YOURSELF AND SEE.
