Grabbed this thing this morning from a Digitech employee that's moving and has a literal TON of gear he's trying to get rid of. GSP1101 + Ground Control 2 = $100.

Went out and snagged it and came back home and went to work on it. Patches were ok, not great...so went from firmware 2.0 (REALLY, dude?) to c63 quick....better. I dig the clean stuff, especially with some chorus and delays. The high gain stuff wasn't as good, really. BUT, with some extensive reading on here (50 pg GSP1101 thread) I found some great settings and advice. I went and grabbed ONE IR cab, the Redwirez free Msarshall 4x12 with the 75s, and this thing took off. MUCH better tones...still not there yet; some of the Crowbar stuff and Mesa and 5150 stuff is a little fizzy on the top end, but I'm not done experimenting yet and I think I can get it there. If not, I'm out a hundred bucks or less as I think I could sell the GC2 for something.
I sold a pedal I wasn't using yesterday for more than twice what I paid for it, and that bankrolled this, so if it ends up sitting in a closet then it's cool.
I've been using an iPad and apps for over a year.....JamUp, BIAS, Amplitube Orange, Stompbox etc...and this sounds better. Not by much, but the DEPTH of it is huge compared to the apps...they sound good and are easy to dial in but there's no depth to the delays/echoes, and this stuff goes on forever and sounds deep as hell. So far I'm digging it; it's not as convenient as the iPad setup as there are wires everywhere now

Clips in the future will probably be made on this into Reaper, if I can get past the fact that it REALLY doesn't like my M80M.
tl;dr Got a GSP1101 and floor controller for cheap. Nice usable tones, pretty happy with it.
