Experiment with the EQ and experiment with cabs to see how the changes make a difference to your tone, you will notice that the EQ changes react differently on different models similar to the actual amps they are modelling but I wouldn't expect 100% accuracy if you have the dials in the same place on both. This will react similar to using the physical model of that amp and I recommend you start out with just an amp model. If you start with an amp model and nothing else you have 5 things you can adjust including a 3 band EQ. This is the right thread for that kind of question. Running through the tube poweramp and my 212 cab makes getting great results childs play. I personally keep coming back to running through a tube amp for the sake of simplicity, I can get as good if not a better result running direct but I find it a lot more work to achieve that great result. If you are happy with the results you get running direct to the board you do not need anything else and as far a consistency goes it is the superior setup especially since what you hear from your monitors should be the same as what the audience hears. You don't need any additional preamp if you are happy with the amp modelling of the GSP1101 but if you have or find a pre that you can't live without the GSP1101 is transparent and works great with a separate preamp. If you are running the official firmware from Digitech use the x-edit available from the Digitech site, if you are using the beta firmware and on windows you will need the x-edit available with the beta firmware from mutbebeta, if you are on a Mac you can use the latest official x-edit but keep in mind that it is missing all the new features found in vC48, it will load and save all the settings in your presets fine though. You need the correct x-edit for the firmware you have installed. If you wish to use other peoples presets or save your own and share them you need to install x-edit. The vC48 beta firmware is available from download the files, connect your GSP1101 to your computer and run the installer, You need a PC running windows. What other settings are you asking about?
