garethox Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Simplifying my gear (my back told me in no uncertain terms to do it!), so this is surplus to requirements. 2U rack mountable Digitech Artist 2120, Control One Pedalboard, Midi and pedal connector leads, mains lead with transformer and instructions up for sale. I purchased this a couple of years ago and had it imported from the States and it has served me well. These regularly sell ont 'bay for between £300 and £350 but I'm asking for just [b]£150 inc PnP[/b] for all of the above due to a few issues, which are described in full below: The LCD screen on the 2120 is missing parts of some characters in the display - the unit is still totally usable and programmable. It is a minor annoyance rather than a hinderance if that makes sense. The Control One Pedalboard has had a couple of the switches knocked off. I still have them and all I do is latch them back on before a gig and the board works perfectly; after the gig, take 'em off and store 'em safely in me bag. So there you have it in a nutshell!

stewblack Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Excuse my complete ignorance but is this a guitar or bass unit?

Dood Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Wow! A real treat! - Always wanted to try one of these on bass but never had the chance. I understand you can mix both SS and Valve preamps together. Have you tried this and were you able to maintain bass bottom end when using distortion patches?

Each patch can be eq'd, so I never had any problem with getting bass....
Dood Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 {edit} being the over sensitive kinda guy I am I felt that my post could be construed as undermining the sale, I have thus self-moderated and removed it! Apologies.

garethox Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Should mention that this unit is also a preamp... If anyone would like to read the manual to see just what this baby can do - here it is: [url="ftp://ftp.digitech.com/pub/PDFs/Discontinued/Manuals/2120.pdf"]ftp://ftp.digitech.com/pub/PDFs/Discontin...anuals/2120.pdf[/url]

fretmeister Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Stick it on musicradar as well. Paul Clark (aka Clarky) guitarist with the David Cross Band (basically half of King Crimson) uses these in his rig and is always looking for back ups. [url="http://www.paul-clark.com/"]http://www.paul-clark.com/[/url] For people who haven't heard the unit: [url="http://www.paul-clark.com/pages/music.htm"]http://www.paul-clark.com/pages/music.htm[/url] All guitars & bass were recorded using one.

I'm running the B1 thru' a GK rig now with chorus/flange/delay effects. The amp has a 'valve effect' on it to give it growl - so it sounds very JE but at half the weight of my old rig... happy days!
