I`m going to see if I can corral someone into helping me get one of those. Oh MAN-I have to check to confirm this but I think my software upgrade was to the 1.05 version-I see now that there are 1.10 chips on e-bay-but I`m not an e-bay person. It`s pre-USB for sure, minor drawback but it`s versatile, even by today`s standards. The wah effect never did much for me, but I think the controller has to be tweaked for it to sound good. It included the X-15 footswitching board. I got mine used, from the second guitarist in our band at the time-coincidentally enough he wanted to try Digitech gear. I don't really mind having the smaller rig anyhoo. I would have rather got the SGX-2000, but price was a deciding factor. I have a old ART DST-4 that I still use regularly. Unfortunately it`s kinda heavy so I left it in the U.S.-that`s one problem.Īnother is the time it takes to set up good sounds, I don`t usually bother with the presets. I have an ART SGX-2000 with a software upgrade chip that is a hell of a lot of fun, it even has parameters for vocals. I'll bet they'll make a comeback at some point, but the gear will have mutated into something we haven't seen yet, maybe a zillion watt amp the size of a cigarette pack, and a speaker so efficient that it's the size of a cigar box, including the cabinet, but it will still cause every club owner on the face of the earth to scream "turn it down, moron! They can't buy drinks if they're pinned against the back wall!!!" Who knows? Better living through chemistry, I always say. And also, from what I hear, the rig of choice these is a small combo amp and a few well-chosen pedals.īut mostly, I guess the reason why you don't see as many of the racks and speaker cabs in use these days is that they are just out of fashion right now. for those old rack units when they go south isn't always easy or cheap.

But, it's also kind of like antique cars and such finding parts, cables, etc. I think one reason that more of the stuff isn't used these days is just plain and simple, the "cool guy" factor is higher on the newer stuff. I always wind up in option anxiety too many choices to choose from. But, that's also true of the modeling units for guitar that I have tried. I was never able to get the collection of sounds I wanted out the rack units I tried, and one was that same GSP.
