Digitech GSP2101 Artist Upgrade

Description

This offer includes the original Digitech firmware "Artist 3.00.a" respectively "Artist 3.00.00.a" for all Digitech GSP 2101 effects processors.
This upgrade works for ANY GSP2101, GSP2101 Artist, GSP2101 Limited Edition, GSP2101 LE or GSP 2101 Artist PRO!

First:
Check your firmware version!
– switch off the GSP2101
– switch on the GSP2101 while watching the display.
– The firmware version is shown there while boot up.
– E.g. there is shown: "2.01.01.a." or "2.55.a"

That means:
The "2.01.01" or "2.55" indicates your firmware version.
The ".a" at the end of the firmware version describes, if your GSP2101 runs with 20MHz cycle frequency or not.
If you have a ".a" at the end of the firmware version the Z80 (the Z80 is the main-processor of your 2101) works with 20 MHz.
If you have no ".a" at the end of the firmware version the Z80 works with 10 MHz only.

What you will get with this package:
A complete software AND hardware-upgrade to 3.00.00.a OR 3.00.a with detailed installation manuals and patch-file (zip-file download) with editing software for the GSP 2101!
With the ZIP-file you’ll get more then 500 patches for the GSP2101, programmed by the GSP2101 guru. These patches can be transmitted to your GSP2101 over MIDI.
Be careful! Do not buy from sellers which offer the firmware upgrade for 2ERPOM board or the 3.00.00 upgrade only!
They might NOT work for you unit!! Please email me if you are not sure which hardware-version you’ve got!
With this package you will get the 3.00.00.a or the 3.00.a upgrade (not only the 3.00.00 or the 3.00 upgrade)
If you are not sure which GSP2101 version you have or if you have any other problems just write me.
After your order I will ask you for your current firmware version and depending to this, I will send you the right parts you need to perform the upgrade to 3.00.00a or 3.00.a.
Note: I guarantee 100%: This upgrade works for ANY GSP2101, GSP2101 Artist, GSP2101 Limited Edition, GSP2101 LE or GSP 2101 Artist PRO!
If you have any questions to the upgrade just write me a message!

You will need a new user manual
After you have upgraded to 3.00.00.a or 3.00.a you will need a new user manual because the operation functions change with this firmware.
You’ll find it in the zip archive I’ll send you.
