Thanks for the in-depth info on the TSR24. I'm a bit confused about
this, though:

To clarify: TSR-24 is the single DSP version, TSR-24S has dual DSP's.
Pretty hefty processing needs will be needed to require dual DSP's.

The most significant benefits with dual DSP's are ring-out and ramp-up
features. Yes, longer delays too (which may hardly be needed), and 5
secs sampling/looping (IRRC).



I think for the seamless program changes, you need not only the
S-Version of the TSR24 but also the PPC-RAM upgrade.
I have a TSR24S (= dual DSP) but not the PPC upgrade, so 5 secs of
delay/(mono-)sampling but no seamless program change. :-(


Well, I don't know exactly how/what Digitech did it in those days. From
your comments it's possible the TSR-24S was build with dual DSP's and
meant to be ram upgradable.

Dieter's PPC-210 module is/was build with both the DSP and ram.

WRT uprading a TSR-24, Digitech doesn't manufacture the PPC-200 or
PPC-210 modules, nor sell old stocks, nor answers any questions.



AFAIK, they've "outsourced" their "support" (for older products!?) to
one (!) guy. I did get an answer from him once (lucky me;-)) but can't
find his email-address, right now. Can sort it out for you, if you want
me, though.


Dunno about this 'one guy'. I did see Dieter Wachter announcing his last
PPC-210 build on Digitech's forum sometime last year, so as they allow
this, we may be talking about the same person; dunno..

For the low used prize, it's difficult to beat.



Agreed - still consider it among my all time best-buys!


Yup, my second one just cleared dk customs and should be here monday, so
I have the dual DSP one in my main rig and the other single DSP in my
future spare rig + I'll use this one with my home studio.
