Eleven Rack Clean distortion
I have been using my 11R for a month or so now, and I have made some great (to me at least) distortion sounds. I play heavy metal and they do a perfect job.
The only trouble I am having is finding a decent clean tone. Every time I find a clean tone, the input overloads and it distorts the tone. I have looked for a pad switch or option but I cannot seem to find one. Anyone have any pointers? |

Re: Eleven Rack Clean distortion
hit the edit button, scroll to the amp and check your amp out volume (reduce as necessary).
scroll to end and check the level meters at main outputs & rig outputs (whats the difference -- not sure off the top of my head) I was getting the same clipping myself until I did this, I find that the volume I can get on clean patches is a fair bit less than on the heavy patches though unless I add a compressor to the clean chain, maybe something to do with the compression that distortion naturally brings. |

Re: Eleven Rack Clean distortion
I will have to give that a try. I checked the output and input meters and they weren't peaking, but I didn't think about the amp modeling. Thanks for the help!

You can also try downloading presets made by other people then tweak them (if need be)
Tons of presets at http://www.elevenrackpresets.com/ and http://elevenrackusers.blogspot.com/

Re: Eleven Rack Clean distortion
I don't actually have a DAW yet. Using the 11R for live sounds. I will definitely give them a look when I get Protools thought! Thanks for the help

Re: Eleven Rack Clean distortion
Try backing your volume knobs on guitar off a bit too....you may be surprised at how it sounds.
