There is such a broad range of sounds and textures available with DigiTech products, especially with the new RP1000.  The DigiTech gear I use has always held up and the guys who make the equipment will always stand behind their product.”

Legendary Guitarist Jennifer Batten Relies on DigiTech To Deliver Show Stopping Performances

For guitarist Jennifer Batten, there is no stage too large. A veteran of three world tours with Michael Jackson and two with Jeff Beck, Batten has performed with music’s biggest stars. She has been in bands playing everything from straight rock, metal, fusion, to funk. Add on three solo albums to her credit and it is easy to see why Batten is known as one of the best in the business. While the music has certainly changed over the years, one constant since 1991 has been Batten’s use of DigiTech equipment.

“The first DigiTech product I fell in love with was the Whammy™ pedal. I’m looking for convenience, flexibility and durability in my equipment. When you’re on tour you need your gear to be lightweight so I need to have an all-in-one board that I can use anywhere, plus I’ve never had a DigiTech product break on me,” stated Batten. “I’ve also used the GNX Guitar Workstation® for years and just recently began using the RP1000 for my current tour. The RP1000 is great for me because there’s no fussing with a ton of cables, I love having everything in one unit.”

For Batten, DigiTech is now a part of the sound she creates. “I use several of the DigiTech specific sounds like the Yaya™, the Clean Swell, and of course the Whammy pedal set to bend a step down. Ultimately DigiTech is always giving me constant improvements and innovations which I really like.”

For an aspiring guitarist Batten feels DigiTech products can be beneficial for them as well. “When you’re just beginning you want something that is very intuitive that you can get playing and experimenting with right away. The GNX Workstation and RP Series Pedals are great as well because you can grow with them.”

Batten shows no signs of slowing down with a full schedule for 2009; she is hitting the road in promotion of her newest critically acclaimed album, and of course will continue to rock out with the help of DigiTech.

Drowning Pool Guitarist C.J Pierce Relies On DigiTech® HardWire™ HT-2 For Latest Tour

Guitarist C.J. Pierce of the Dallas-based metal band Drowning Pool is currently on tour to support the band’s current release “Full Circle” on Eleven Seven Music. C.J. has been utilizing the new DigiTech® HardWire™ HT-2 chromatic tuner to keep himself in tune throughout the tour. C.J. has been using DigiTech® effects for many years including the GSP2112 preamp processor and the Whammy4™ for all his tones and pitch shifting effects.

Drowning Pool is a four-piece rock band that was formed in 1996. They rose to fame while playing along with Ozzy Osbourne during an Ozzfest tour in 2001. Their most recent album has a post-grunge sound and is less heavy than their previous work. The first single off the album, "Soldiers," is dedicated to all the men and women of the United States Army.

Last year Drowning Pool’s rehearsal and storage space was broken into with most of the gear being stolen including Pierce’s GSP2112. After last year’s incident, C.J. has obtained the GSP1101 preamp and is pleased to have reproduced all of his signature tones on the new model. Speaking about the preamp C.J said, “The GSP1101 is amazing! It has replaced all of my old GSP2112’s.”

The DigiTech Hardwire Series HT-2 is a chromatic tuner pedal that is visible, accurate and durable when in use, transparent when not. The cornerstone of every pedalboard is a reliable tuner. The HardWire Chromatic Tuner's true bypass means that when it is off, it's out of the circuit.

DigiTech Artist Relations Manager Paul Muniz stated, “C.J. has always had crushing guitar tones. With the kind of abuse the gear takes on the road, it’s great to know that C.J. and the boys can rely night after night on our products to deliver.”

DigiTech’s unique Setup Wizard guides you through the steps to optimize the GSP1101 to fit your unique sound needs.

The GSP1101 is the new paradigm in preamp/processors. It meets the needs of the professional guitarists who already get their core tone with their amps, guitars, and fingers. The pros want everything from adding a few effects to their existing tone to creating entirely new sounds with a single rack-mount preamp/processor. The GSP1101 won’t take over a rig like other preamps do.

Tipton stated, “ The GSP1101 for me is the best professional preamp on the market. Not only for use at home, but equally for stage. You have every guitar sound immediately at your fingertips and much much more if you go into the parameters. It is easy to use, versatile and midi controllable. Everything from the effects, gates and graphics work, as they should do to shape your own sounds. The GSP1101 makes playing the guitar so much easier.''
