Many of the newer effects processors go direct to a USB ports sans interface for a number of purposes, including direct recording.

In the past, it was more common to connect through a 9-pin joystick port on the back of a soundcard, but those have gone the way of the dinosaurs. As the name and picture imply, it allows you to connect midi cables to your computer via a USB port.


Why would anyone chose anything else? MIDI interfacing In order to get any hardware that uses midi (musical instrument digital interface) to talk to your computer, you will probably have to get a device like the one pictured. With a computer interface, you can also store an infinite number of programs off-line as well. If you can program it, you can always return to it. I know some bands out there play one song after the next with just a couple of sounds, but I need more than 'clean' and 'dirty.' Most effects units come with at least 30 user-defined programs (plus an equal number of factory presets that no one every uses). And yet it is a fraction of the cost, simple to set up (pull it into the power, your guitar, and your amp, and that's it), and, most importantly, it is programmable! I don't know how effects pedals manage to maintain a market share any longer. It has a full compliment of effects (I couldn't begin to estimate how many pedals worth of tricks it does). Well, this unit has all the parameters (and then some!) of the best pedals on the market. While no processor can do everything, this one does so much more than I could ever hope for that I can't complain. This device does it all with incredibly versatility and quality. 2120 PC Editor.Īlexplorer's Axe Hacks: Digitech 2120 Digitech 2120 Multi-effects preamp/processor I have had a long and mostly productive experience with multi-effects processors, but this is truly the top of the line. Only the firmware level determines how many factory patches that a 2112 or 2120. I don't know what OS Digitech sends if you buy a 2120 chip. Interest for Digitech Patch ports? Axe-Edit you'll be completely relieved that you don't have to go back to programming a patch the Digitech. Digitech 2120 Patch Editors 8,9/10 6541reviews
