The most immediate benefit of hooking the G2.1u up via USB (which, notably, transmits both audio and power) is the graphical user interface. The internal software routes the guitar signal through
On the hardware, editing a patch requires bending over and navigating a small LCD screen. You have to scroll through parameters like "E4 PRM" and "dEC PRM," memorizing what each abbreviation means. On the hardware, editing a patch requires bending
The software changes everything. It provides a drag-and-drop signal chain.
