Be careful!
The last official upgrade from Digitech was version 2.10. You will find sellers here at Ebay who tell the 2.11 was the last official upgrade. This is wrong. Definitely 2.10 was the last official. After 2.10 followed bug-fix upgrades up to 2.30 which have not been written down in the revision history. So 2.30 is the best, latest and last you can get.

FAQs:
Q: Do I need any special tools to install the upgrade?
A: No, you only need standard screwdrivers to install the upgrade. The EPROM sits in a socket and is NOT soldered. It is easy to replace it. It is just like a BIOS EPROM on a PC motherboard.
Q: What are the differences between the SGS 2112 and 2120 VGS?
A: The Digitech 2120 and 2112 have identical circuitry. Hardware is electronically and mechanically the same. The 2120 shipped later and, therefore, had later firmware versions. If you install the latest firmware into a 2112, you will have a 2120 with the 141 factory patches. The only difference will be the face plate.
Q: Which benefits do I get by installing the 2.30 firmware in my SGS 2112 or 2120 VGS?
A: By installing the 2.30 firmware you upgrade every SGS 2112 to a 2120 VGS.

Some bug fixes
Q: Will I lose my presets after installing the 2.30 firmware?
A: Yes, because after installing you have to execute a hard reset.
If you want to keep them, consider a bulk MIDI dump or individual program dump. Or, write down your most important settings on paper.
Q: How do I recognize that the internal lithium battery gets weak?
A: Best would be to measure the voltage with a voltmeter. If you don't have one:
- The unit doesn't hold the presets while switched off.
- The display might show garbled characters
I recommend replacing the battery every 7 years.
