Apparently they are supposed to be quite good though?!

4 cabled with normal amp they are fantastic and with a complimentery IR can go to desk via xlr without mic'ing amp (handy if amp fails too as just get some fired into foldback monitor and keep going.
Though control 2 helps massively for live use.
There is a control 2 for sale on gsp1101 fb group at mo, guy in France for €100. You can use any midi controller but I like having info of what's on/off in front of me and what program i am in without having to see gsp screen
But I digress! Have you ever managed to get the presets online to download to the unit? They didn't seem to sound right when I tried it (albeit briefly)

c63 also brought a setting in menu so it could cope with a parallel fx loop (which guess line out and in would work as) so may be possible...
if doesn't work you could still use gsp fx for before preamp and use amps preamp or gsp as preamp (allowing post amp model fx) and poss switch between for diff presets
It was relegated to mainly back up duties after I got an Axe FX (and later a Kemper) but I still use it occasionally and I keep it tweaked with presets for my current bands and a few user IR's that I like. Fantastic bit of kit for the silly money you can get them for on e-Bay.
On the FB group we had a guy who recently got one and said in the 2 weeks (he was a metal guy) he got better sounds out of gsp then he managed in 2yr with kemper. He has since switched his bands rig from an Axe and Kemper to two GSP1101's.
the 5150 model is stunning with any 5150 owners who have tried it 4 cable and compared almost all pick the gsp model over the real preamp. Fender twin clean is very nice too and compares very favourably to my Groove Tube Trio clean channel (which is regarded as one of vest fender circuit cleans ever produced)
Had plenty opertunity at jam to compare to other options and can say direct to PA it sounded better then a helix and the one before helix.
Tube screamer models even over headphones are about as impossible to tell from real things as it could be. Digitech reverbs (some of best avail). Not experimented so much with delays and chorus as yet. It's not a one trick pony as can produce compelling blues and rock tones too (I like 4cable or preamp in loop as odd models i think benefit also running through s good clean valve pre but that's a personal pref).
Mine also switches my valve pre channel via midi and added a Nux pms-2 it also switches amp channel or amp reverb on/off for me depending on preset.
Will try and find the really good video later selling some of it.

I like the control 2. If your on a stage/live means don't need to see gsp and can turn stomps on/off too.
I actually plan on getting an amp and changing speaker for a light neodium one then making room to fit a gsp in case. That way I have something portable-ish that i can grab on its own or with control board for jams etc. Kinda like what people are using Katana for. At moment thinking if can find a beat up Lab Series L5 I'll replace baffle with light weight single 12" neo magnet speaker in place of 2x12. (why L5? Cos L3 amp isn't as good and a light 1x12 baffle should make it fairly easy to carry, l5 also has nice clean channel and fx loop). It's also a proper 100w RMS so will actually do gig volume.
Tend to make em myself if have purpose in mind.
