Digitech 2112/20 Valve Guitar Effects/Preamp System with foot controller

Ok, I spotted this lil chap on ebay recently and bagged it on a whim, because it has, on top of a full compliment of stereo effects, two programmable preamp/drive sections that can be run in parallel to each other - one making use of the two valves on board.

It's a 2112 unit with the upgrade to the 2120 chip on board. (Both models that were on sale were exactly the same from a hardware point of view, but the original 2120 had a purple fascia)

I played with it for a while, then realised I didn't really need it at all and not really sure why I'd want to try to replace my TC G Major 2 anyway! ha! - but then, That's GAS for you right?

So, I'm offering it to you guys on the cheap - you can make use of my fine good nature and pick up a little bargain. It comes with the Control One foot controller - which has it's own display (as seen in the pictures) to tell you exactly what patch you are on and the status of the effects unit (inluding tuner display). It only requires one MIDI cable and no additional power to the controller, so no daft cables everywhere! - I'm afraid I don't have a spare MIDI cable - but they are so cheap off ebay anyway - and you can grab the length you require.


The foot controller works absolutely fine, there's just a couple of niggles about the preamp though - the gain knob and bass knob, if you turn them slowly are absolutely fine, but if you spin them quickly they sometimes don't read where you moved them to. I can only assume that they need some spray cleaner in? Also, there is a slight discolouration to the very top of the screen. there's nothing to worry about as it doesn't get in the way of viewing settings etc.
Finally - this unit has definitely seen some use and there are a few scuffs on the outer casing, that you won't see in a rack - but doesn't affect operation.

So with this in mind, you can have this delivered in the UK for [b]£200.[/b] - I have a box ready to go!

Pictures up soon - in the meantime here's some information about the unit and upgrade:

PM me for any information, Paypal is fine as long as you cover the costs - as is bank transfer, cheque and cold hard cash if you come to collect!

Here's some information about an auction for John Entwistle's Bass gear, which included these Digitech systems.
