Digitech GSP2101

Digitech does make some nice stuff. I think the current model is GSP1101. It offers a lot for $500.

My personl opinion, though, is that at least 90-95% of your tone should already be "there" between your amp and guitar (paying alot of attention to your pickups). Your tone should already be sweet before any effects, so the effects only tweak and color the tone, not take it over. In particular, I think a lot of tone chasers out there focus too much on stomp boxes, when what they seek could be remedied by the right pickup or amp.

Just my $0.02...


Actually, Digitech makes or made many different levels of equipment. The 2101 was one of their best, even to this day. The 2101 is not a stomp box. It's a quality real tube preamp, with an quality effects processor built in. You can use it all analog just for tone like a real tube pre-amp or amp. While many feel that all-in-one boxes compromise in the quality of preamp or effects, the 2101 does not. Both the preamp and the effects processor are good quality, and were the best quality for an all-in-one in 1994. I don't think they ever improved the preamp section, but changes and variations were made. The 2101 preamp will rival any preamp, depending on the sound you are after. Its a perfect way to chase tone, as long as you have a decent power amp and speaker to mate to it. It's not a stomp box. Like the earlier poster said, Plug it right into the power amp in and bypass the preamp section of your amp, it's that good.
