MONO VS. STEREO OUTPUT MODES
To get the best results from your GSP-2101 Artist, the output mode must be set for your particu-
lar setup. The OUTPUT MODE option in the Utility setup menu allows you to set whether the
unit will be operated in stereo (dual outputs) or mono (single output). This is important for one
reason: if the unit is set for stereo operation and only one output is used, effects may not sound
the same as when both outputs are summed together to a single mono output. As a reminder, the
GSP-2101 indicates the current output mode when it powers up.
To set the output mode, do the following:
• Enter the Utility setup menu by pressing the [UTILITY] button once. The display
reads:
• Change the OUTPUT MODE option by pressing Function key [1] until its setting
reflects the way you will be using your GSP-2101 Artist.
• To exit the Utility setup menu, press the [UTILITY] button again.
GLOBAL EQ
As you know, each Program in the GSP-2101 Artist has a 7 Band Graphic local EQ that can be
customized individually and stored in memory for later recall. The Global EQ, however, serves
as a master equalizer that everything passes through before leaving the outputs of the GSP-2101
Artist. The frequency centers and the boost / cut ranges of the Global EQ are the same as those
found in local EQs.
The Global EQ is used to customize the overall tonal character of the GSP-2101 Artist. From
the factory, the default Global EQ settings are completely flat (no boost or cut at any of the fre-
quencies). Many guitarists like to setup a Program that is completely flat (no EQ, no effects, no
distortion), then use the Global EQ to tweak their rig up so that it sounds correct to them in its
most basic state. The better the natural rig sound, the better all the presets will sound. The pro-
cedure for changing the setting of the Global EQ is as follows:
•Press the [UTILITY] key once to enter the Utility setup mode.
• Press [NEXT] once. The display reads:
• Press Function key [1] once to access the Global EQ.
• Use the [NEXT] and [PREV] keys to select the frequency you want to adjust. Use the
Data wheel to adjust the amount of boost or cut for the selected frequency.
• When you’re finished, press the [UTILITY] key to return to exit.
