Any one here own The Eleven Rack??

DrGonzo

Please any one care to shed some light on the quality of this unit!? Im on a great quest to find a recording solution that doesnt wake the neighbours!

At home im using mostly Amplitube, which I love - Is the Eleven Rack a big step up in tonal modelling quality??
What about This vs The Axe-FX?

I was GAS'ing big time for the Axe-FX but it is Waaaay out of budget

the eleven rack seems like a good alternative: Half the price, Looks really good, should sound decent and it is bundled with Pro Tools which Is a great deal sweetener.

I can't compare the modelling to the AxeFX as I've never used one, but the AxeFX definitely has a much more comprehensive effects setup. The amp modelling is good - most amps on a par with the new Line 6 Pod HDs (except maybe on the heavier amp side - the HD's Mesa and Ubershall amps are wonderful), but the HDs have much better and more FX. The Eleven rack also has a good, clean mic input and preamp so is a bit more of an all-rounder in the studio (although I dislike that it only integrates properly with Protools and not with other DAWs).

While the POD HD300 and HD400 are relatively crippled for the serious effect user, the HD500 looks very good - still limited compared to software like Guitar rig though. And how long before Amplitude and Guitar Rig both update their modelling? [/devil's_advocate]. I'm also wondering if/when Line 6 will come out with a "Pro" rack version, the way they have with the other PODs.

Any more specific questions, ask. Must run to a gig now...

+ 1 to everything Alan said.

IMO, the 11R doesn't do anything better than the HD500.
Also, the HD is a floorboard/wah all in one unit, with the 11R you still need to add a foot controller and wah.

Interesting!

Not sure if it is just a marketing gimmick, but the 11r boasts a "True Z" input which has something to do with impedance matching so that it actualy responds like a real amp.

hmmm I think this one will have to be down to my ears hey Im gonna have a go between the HD Pod , The 11 Rack and possibly a good tube rack preamp?

thanks for da feedback!
