    Digitech 2120 users

    I know a few lads here use this preamp on the road at high volumes-how the fuck do you use the noise gate on this thing [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
    Nearly every patch on the units have sustain killing gates,so you have to adjust them to allow notes to ring out with natural decay.Recording wise this is fine at low levels but i noticed that when i cranked it with my 8080 valvestate poweramp it had a mind of its own.
    To save my ears can any of you Digitech users tell me what settings you use with the fucking useless noisegate [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
    thank you

    the people that i know that use them run them through the FX return on a boodie, and do not use any of the noisegates.

        cheers dreamland i can always go that option if i have too but hopefully some users here can save me my hearing when i do it on the fly up close to the speakers at spanked levels

        Atomic-yeahh mate thats a cool setting was messing around with that setting early(bought another 2120 as a backup and had to install the newest eprom for it to match my other unit)I tend to use the FSG 98 setting and the EVH 78 settings with the clean nylon patch for sparkling tones
        It is a realy good unit with the control one floor unit being able to change on the fly with ease

          it's great sounding when the volume is low, but sure does lose a lot whebn you crank it up a ways. i could very well be wrong on this, but i don't think i am.

                My old guitar player had a 2120 and the noise gate was a worthless POS. No matter how you set the damn thing it sucked the life out of any ringing notes or touch playing with the volume knob rolled back.

                    Have you got RP Edit working with yours? I have hardly used mine in a long time but it should be seeing some use soon, and there should be a pc nearby to try and get the RP Edit thing happening. I have had the software for a while, just waiting for the chance to try it. It should be a whole lot better than the front screen, which I've forgotten how to use.

                      ahh good man Mosh,i will try that setting you showed.Going by memory i think my thresh was -60 so perhaps that extra percentage works when i turn it up loud.great stuff you have saved my self some time and hearing before my next rehearsal.
                      I havnt got that rpedit!where can i download it?I used to use the pc editing on my old pod pro so fine tuning the digitech with the pc would be better.and easier for swapping patches

                        yes, i have it working on my units [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
                        just make sure your 2120 is vers 2.10 or later, or you will crash it and have to do a factory reset so they say. one of my 4 units is vers 2.02 and i'm gonna experiment to see just what adjustment makes them crash.
