DigiTech GSP-7

Factory presets have good sounds. Most need a little tweaking to get you set up for your rig. Easy to edit. Easy to get your sound. Manual, I downloaded the PDF from Digitech. Easy to understand.

This is where this unit shines. I use a Gibson Les Paul Custom bone stock through a Tech 21 amp. Nothing else. I've got the GSP7 in between the two and also use it with headphones(it has a headphone jack COOL!!). I have no use for any other equipment. The GSP has all the reverb, delay, flange, compression,distortion, overdrive, etc. one could ever use. You can get any sound you want out of this thing. The distorions are KILLER( this is so unlike Digitech). I play mostly 80's hard rock AC/DC, Van Halen, Ratt, Metallica, Megadeath and the like. I can get any of these out of this unit.

It's quite a few year old unit now and no problems. So, I'd say it is reliable.

Digitech is real good about customer service. I never needed them for this unit, but in the past I've dealt with them and they were quick and friendly.

I've been playing at or about 20 years now and I've had just about every piece of equipment you can imagine. This is for the money the best I've used. Yeah, there is better out there I'm sure, but at what price? This is a little gem that most don't know about. That's what keeps the used price down. If they knew it can do anything there $1000+ unit can then poor musicians would never be able to discover such inexpensive jewels as this.

It's really easy to get the sound I like.
I don't have the manual, so if anyone could send me a copy, I'll be very happy.
My unit haven't been upgrade.

The distortions have a great sustain and the ambience and modeling efects are the best I've ever heard.
It isn't noisy. I use a Crate GX-15 for amplify the GSP-7.
My favorite artists are Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Yngwie Malmsteen, etc. ,and yes I can get their sound.

I play Rock and Neo-Classical Rock and the GSP-7 is very good for it.

i find this unit very easy to use and simple to get a great guitar sound

i'm just going through a delta 1010 recording interface with maybe a couple high end preamps but this machine pretty much takes care of the rest, a must for the guitar player searching for their unique sound. I think that the distortions are great and easy to adjust

never had a problem yet

never had to deal with them

i play pretty heavy stuff and also really clean stuff like going from genesis to slipknot, this unit has and will continue to help my original music. only wish i could find a manual for it i lost mine years ago and wish i had it to reference at times

It is very easy to use. the sound are great I can just about get any sound I am looking for.Editing is also very easy I some times have to change setting for different places and with the gsp 7 I can do it with ease.

I use a Peavey transtube bandit with a mexican strat with lace sensors in it.I also have a 31 band DOD eq with it. I play country,blues classic rock and swamp pop there is no sound I can't copy. I also have the midi controller that goes with the gsp 7 which make very clean switches between patches.

I have never had any trouble with it yet and I've had it for about 9 years now knock on wood. It has been real reliable I use it on the job every weekend for the past 7 years. With this unit there is no need for back-up.

I never had to deal with that yet but, the unit was upgraded when I bought it brand new 1992.

I play mixture of oldies,rock & roll,classic rock,country,and swamp pop and it does just fine. I've ben playing for 20 years and have owned a lot of different things amps,guitars,pedals but, this unit is the best and if I lost it I would just have to find another on at any price.the midi pedal is about the best thing I like about it you can program what pedal you want it to be. And it too is also very easy to use. haven't found anything I hate about it yet because it just keeps getting better all the time

Fairly easy to usae unit... I bought it simply for the MIDI controlling, as my music is sequenced, and I prefer the sequencer to change my patches as oppposed to tap dancing.

Distortions could use a bit more...I don't like the fact that the DigiTube distortion is louder than all the rest (it also creates some limitations using the digitube, such as I don't think you can add reverbs...) :( Other than that the compression, modulation fx, verbs, eqs, gates suit my needs very well

This is my sole unit...I love it especially for the MIDI ease of use

I do frown upon not being able to get manuals online (even in the discontinued product page) would be nice for a company as big and old as Digitech to provide their entire product line's manuals...(I do have a photocopy of GSP-7 manual, however)

I play in a pop/goth/metal thingy, and strive for a Maiden-ish sound guitarwise which I think the unit amply serves me (I do agree, the distortions need a bit more...) however I like the unit pretty well, regardless...

Easy to use, but I'm not crazy about the factory presets, especially any that have distortion. I prefer to use my trusty Ibanez SD-9 for distortion. The clean presets are fine, but I'm sure anyone would adjust them to get their own sound.

Sound is very good. Mine goes directly into a Fender tube amp. I wish I had a line in to bypass the Fender preamp stage. Again, I'm not crazy about the distortion effects. Would like to hear from anyone on using this unit with a line-in vs. going straight into the amp.

Unit has been very reliable. I bought it new nd never had a problem.

Never had to deal with DigiTech. I would like to find out how to dump/edit patches on my computer, if that is possible. I have a Sound Blaster and the MIDI Kit, so I have all the hookups if this is possible. Anyone with info on this, please contact me.

Sure, it is a good unit, but there hve been so many advances in processors since this one came out. I'm sure, though, that I will always be able to use this unit, either as my main one or for just a backup. Then again, I don't foresee buying another multi-effects processor.

Very easy to get good sounds..... the presets are mostly "drug" induced, since no-one would ever use 95% of them, BUT... you can change them and experiment to create excellent settings for almost any guitar (I use a Strat, '68 SG, and a Westone). Having a background in sound can't hurt, but you can compare your changes to the original to "hear" what you've changed... a good idea for beginners.

Tends to kill some of the low-end, but can be made-up in the built-in EQ or pre-amp settings (better then loosing the high-end, in my opinion). Lot's of different choices for distortions, reverbs, chorus, compression, etc. Some sound stupid, some sound down-right "killer". I've been totally tickled with one sound, and then stumbled across another the next day.

Never had a gliche yet..... all buttons/switches/controls are clean (some small pop when making really radical sound changes).

N/A

Would buy another.... only lacking is the foot-switch abilities. Can use a single non-proprietary switch (which is good), but not able to jump directly to a sound without running up and down the presets. Needs a tuner, also.... but I think this pre-dates when tuners became a preferrred standard in effects/boxes.
