Man these are fantastic. Thanks for putting in the time.
No problem. Glad you like them.

Need to give these a try, they were some of my favorite presets from the 2101. I still have my 2101 Artist and FC 101 controller. As amazing and versatile as the AxeFX is, I still can't quite bring myself to get rid of the Digi.
Thanks for "memory lane" post. I still have my original 2112 which I updated eprom chips continuously back in the day through the now 2120 v2.10. I think I even have all my old sysex dump files somewhere too. I pulled it and the original Control One foot controller (which was still new in the box after almost 2 decades), and threw it in my rack above the Axe....just for grins. Think I'll have a few whiskeys and fire it up tonight. If anyone needs, I think I have PDF manuals for the 2112, 2120, and the Control One on a backup hard drive somewhere too. "Dual S-Disc II" \m/
I just bought a new Axe FX LX Plus unit last week. I've played Digitech 2101 units for over 20 years and struggled leaving them for a new unit. I have three 2101s and a 2120. I've been eyeing Axe Fx for years because they remind me of what Digitech should have came out with next. I've owned the Digitech 1101 and it was a waste of time. I went back the 2101. I'm glad to see that the 2101 unit per sets aren't forgotten. I still have a complete rack with my Limited Edition Chrome 2101 ready to go if this just isn't my cup of tea.
Nice effects, great job. I esp. like the Lotus one.
I converted over these presets back when I had an Ultra, and then recreated them when I got my Axe FX II back when they first came out. Now I have an XL+ and I've updated them for Quantum 3.03 and uploaded them to AxeChange for anyone who wants them.

For those who don't know about the 2101, basically it took the Axe Ultra to make a worthy replacement for it. Nothing else ever measured up to that point. Not in my opinion anyway.
These are all special effects presets. On Eternities and Eternities Driven, play and hold long notes or chords.
Eternities Driven is a modification of Eternities that swells into distortion. This isn't from the 2101 specifically. Actually it's based on a reverb preset I had on the Alesis Quadraverb that would exhibit a similar behavior. The Eternities preset was perfect as the base, so I added in the ramping input gain and viola, it worked.
I also attempted to approximate the Rocktron Intellifex Delay Flange preset. I don't have the unit and the chorus in the Axe can't do the same settings as the Intellifex, but I gave it a shot and came out with a pretty nice sounding preset anyway that's relatively close. It's dialed in on headphones and using my particular custom wired guitar, so adjust the tone for your gear accordingly.

Thank you for doing this... I got my 2101 in like 1994, still have it though it needs some work. I think the 2101 and those that followed it in that same vein was years ahead of the competition. I didn't ever completely love the distorted tones but I always loved the fx, I wish units back then were made 4 cable compatible.
Hey @DLM , just wanted to let you know that the Lotus preset is still on my top list. Totally gets me "into the zone" every time. I keep it up-to-date with current firmware but maybe it has drifted somewhat from the original. I've attached it (Axe-Fx III preset).
