As I set-up my new recording rig, I need to replace my large Line 6 Flextone III XL amplifier with something that’s smaller, fits into my work-flow and can be tweaked on screen. I really liked the Flextone amp but the editing software isn’t supported on my Mac and as my live playing days aren’t as plentiful, I figure it’s time to look into new guitar effect options.
I’ve used other Line 6 products in the past including the POD XT Pro. I was happy with the tones and sounds that I got from it plus it worked nicely with the FBV Longboard that I used with my amp. I sold the POD a few years back and considered the new Line 6 Pod HD 500 however I think I prefer the Eleven Rack’s integration with Pro Tools. I’ll post more once I’ve worked with it.
From Avid’s website: Eleven Rack is a revolutionary new guitar recording and effects processing system designed to eliminate the challenges guitarists have faced in the studio and on stage. Say goodbye to the lackluster guitar amp “models” of yesteryear: Eleven Rack utilizes a unique tone cloning design and one-of-a-kind, custom-designed True-Z input to re-create the experience of playing through a full guitar rig. By combining studio-standard Pro Tools® software with a DSP-accelerated high-resolution interface, Eleven Rack puts professional recording into the hands of every guitar player. Whether you’re tracking in the studio or playing on stage, Eleven Rack delivers fresh, mind-blowing, hyper-realistic guitar amp and effects tones that will inspire your best performances.
