  1. Congrats man, know you've been after one for a while...

    Fancy a free upgrade to a 2120?! The only physical difference between a 2112 and the 2120 is the Eeprom inside (and the colours of the panels etc). To upgrade to a 2120 you just need to replace the eeprom and change the 2 jumpers inside your 2112 to 256k when using the 2120 eeprom (or 64k for the 2112 eeprom).

    I have a 2120 and I upgraded the Eeprom to v2.10 software but I still have the 2120 v2.03 Eeprom that came with the unit. It's just a straight swap so if you want the chip, just let me know. The v2.10 Eeprom is kinda hard to get hold of in the UK (the distributors (Arbiter) don't know jack about the digitech line... I was told that all software updates were downloads and nobody ever heard of the units having eeproms! But get through to the right guy in spares and he knows exactly what you need) but if you want I can try and get you a v2.10 eeprom. They are a free update to 2120 owners but 2112 owners supposedly have to pay because it's a major update, not a minor one - the charge was US$75 in 2000 but it's now £100 RRP in the UK!!! ( see here or here )

    Given I don't know what software revision yours is (look on the startup screen and let me know!) I can't tell you what you'd gain by inserting the 2120 v2.03 eeprom... but if you're running v1.03 (the last version for the 2112) then there's loads of updated stuff!

    What's new in the v2.10 eeprom over the v2.03? 5 new modules (Pedal Phaser, Reverse, Time Warp, Sampler, and Stereo Sampler), added 41 additional factory patches that came from the 2112 (so would include all the 2120 patches plus 41 of the ones that got chopped) and they fixed the speed of the dynamic modifiers, added the volume pedal update, and made the MIDI implementation better.

    If you just want the patches that are available in the latest 2120 update, download This but if you want the other benefits, you'll need to update the eeeprom.

    :o :o :o Ooooooooooooohhhhhhh ... now that sounds sweet!!!!! I'll definately get the info to you as soon as it comes in. I've never been one to turn down an upgrade!

    What do ya want for the eprom?

  2. "The squeeky wheel gets the grease"

    ... as the saying goes. Well, I guess my insessant and annoying bitching about my problems with my search and lack of funds impressed the rock gawds 'cause they have answered. Last night I secured off of E(vil)-bay germany the Digitech 2112 with Control One pedal board, cables and manual for a fair, if not exactly cheap, price. I had to sell one of my computers to get the final squirt of funds I needed and got it with 'buy now' without having to bid.

    It's funny too because I was bidding on the 2101 all this last week and got sniped at the last second last night. I rolled my eyes and scrunched up my face in consternation and frustration and began looking for another right off. Low and behold, I found this deal with 6 days to go and no bids as yet. It was already at a start bid that was more then I had but with the 'buy now' price at a little above that so I talked to a bud and he decided to help me out and bought my spare box outright with cash. Not bad for a bucket of bolts that doesn't even work (yes, he knows, he wants to scrap it for parts).

    So, now I have finally gotten the wonder of technology that I have been on a quest for for over 10 years. An era has ended for me and another is about to begin.

    Oh, but the best is yet to come folks! One of my co-workers started complaining about being one of the few non-musicians in our company and how much he'd like to learn to play guitar today. Well chit, I thought, I teach and have a spare guitar. I pitched it to him and he's buying my backup axe and gonna take lessons from me. He's buying my guitar for what was left of the price of the 2112. So I am buying this thing outright - no depts and no losses. Basically I'm only paying for in country shipping. It should be here next week sometime.

    Come on, do da snoopy dance wid meeeeeeeee!!! B):D:D

    Just thought I'd share this with you guys since I annoyed you with this exact subject not too long ago.

  3. Just pokin' atcha bro,

    I'm talking stripping down to the bare wood for a fully new finish. I just thought since the DBK has a rather unique finish, it might be worthwhile for someone to write up a tutorial for it. No big deal, it was just a thought.

    ...and understand, I am not planning on doing this to MY DBK. It was just a thought that came to mind while I was reading through the material finishing tutorial. I have heard that few companies that have been asked would do it, or at a much higher price, because of how hard it is to do. I thought since you, Brian are so good at finding easy ways of doing things maybe you'd have some insight. Believe it or not, the tutorial isn't for me, I just thought it would go well with the others you're trying to collect.

    :D LJ

  4. I DO, but maybe I'll wanna do a graphic one of these days if I win the lottery. That VSBL with the airbrush as well as the material finishing tutorial sure got me thinking - black with some killer tribal graphic or something. If so, I'd need to strip it before hand. Also, seeing as how I am FAR from the only DBK owner on earth, it might be worthwhile to do a tutorial on it just in case someone else wants to refinish or modify one.

    Just a thought.

    :D LJ

    Hi Borut,

    Hey, I just saw your thread at Project Guitar about your Digitech GSP 2112. I have been looking for a GSP 21xx for about 10 years now but could at first never afford it and now that they're long out of production it's even harder. Since I have a family and a rather low income I still can't afford to buy one but I saw that you are willing to trade for it. What are you looking for in trade? What can I offer you? A guitar? My blood? One of my kidneys? My first born son? LOL! Can you tell that I want this thing bad?

    Seriously though, I do have a guitar to trade for it if that's what you're looking for.

    Ibanez 450S (S-Series - Sabre Series):

    * Black finish with chrome hardware

    * Rosewood Fingerboard

    * H-S-H pickup configuration with a Bill Lawrence L 500 Dual Blade Lead Humbucker (Nuno Bettencourt, Dimebag Darrell) in the bridge position.

    * Specially customized (for optimal performance) TRS II Trem

    * Extra Pickup switch that combines the signals of the outer two humbuckers (the one position not available with the 5-way switch)

    * Extra 'kill-switch' push button for that 'wah -- wah -- wah --' sound ala Randy Rhoads or Eddie Van Halen.

    * Schaller strap locks

    Picture: http://www.lord-jereth.com/Equipment.html

    And to sweeten the pot for you I'll even throw in an extra Dimarzio Breed bridge pickup just in case you don't like the sound of the L 500. How's that for a trade?

    Or maybe you're looking to have all your effects on the ground instead of in a rack? How's this:

    Digitech RP10 - Full range Guitar FX unit, Preamp, Midi foot controler.

    It's sort of like the 2112 but on the floor instead of in a rack.

    Or maybe you need a full web site done?

    Example: http://www.lgm-guitars.com

    I hope to hear from you very soon,

    Patrick Deno,

    So what do you think?

  6. I don't think this qualifies but it is a cool link regardless.

    These SHOULD qualify though:

    At least some of these should be useful. ... BTW, I don't really need Bobbin Toppers .. I got black PUPs and that fits me fine. I only have black guitars anyway and just about any other color would look really strange. Black and chrome, them's my ladies :D

  7. I so phuqing hate it when skript kiddies make it hard for the rest of us to enjoy the experience. I can understand the problems Brian and it's kewl. I'll just post addresses to stuff if I wanna show it off.

    <edit>I cut the rant - off topic - will put it in correct thread </edit>

    Thanks for checking up on it though, Brian.
