Solid State and EQ: The solid-state distortion path also offers a 10-band EQ, noise gate, and speaker cabinet emulator for more versatility.
Digitally Controlled Analog Wah: Experience vintage analogue wah effects with digital control, ensuring quiet and authentic tonal characteristics.
Noise Reduction: The Silencer II noise reduction system eliminates background noise, offering crystal-clear recordings.
Programmable Cabinet Emulation: Forget the hassle of mic’ing speaker cabinets with the DigiTech 2112’s programmable cabinet emulator, providing great sound directly to the board or tape, both live and in the studio.

Up to 8 Digital Effects at Once
With dual S-DISC II processors, the DigiTech 2112 can run up to 8 digital effects simultaneously.

Seamless Program Changes
The DigiTech 2112 offers smooth program changes without signal dropout. You can adjust hold and release times to create overlapping effects, producing a morphing effect. Seamless program changes can be set on Page 5 of the Master Mix menu in Edit mode.

Real-Time Modifiers
Each program in the DigiTech 2112 has modifiers that let you dynamically alter your sound. You can assign up to 16 modifier links, which include:

MIDI CCs: Responds to MIDI CC numbers and channel pressure (aftertouch) for real-time control over parameters.
LFOs: Use two LFOs per program to automatically control parameter values between a set minimum and maximum.
Dynamic Modifiers: Control parameter values based on the dynamics of the input signal, offering limitless possibilities for sound shaping.

Solo Button
The Solo Button feature offers an instant 6 dB boost for solos, either via the front panel or the optional foot controller. This is ideal for stage performances or studio sessions, giving you extra volume when needed. To assign the Solo Button, press the <Solo> button and store, or link it to a footswitch through Page 3 of the Master Mix menu.
