“Professionals asked and we listened,” stated Jason Lamb, Market Manager Multi-FX Products. “Professional guitarists define their core tone over years of playing and investments in gear. Professionals have stopped using rack-mount preamps due to the product’s inflexibility and altering of the guitar player’s sound. We at DigiTech designed the GSP1101 preamp to be integrated into the guitarist’s rig, giving the user the ability to use as much or as little of the product’s power while preserving their signature sound.”
