I think in this respect the 11R is showing its studio roots over a live usage scenario.

Anyway, I was hoping that maybe there were certain practices that would minimize the lag. |

You can get a little closer to djemass's suggestion, derker, by using the footswitch/expression jack on the back of the 11R. At a minimum, you can configure that to do something like kick in an overdrive. You'll need a footswitch, of course. Alternatively you could use an expression pedal and - configured as a Multi-FX controller - use it to alter up to four parameters at once. For example, at the heel-down position you could turn down gain, midrange and echo and turn up the chorus. At the toe-down position you can boost the gain, midrange and echo and cut the chorus. Or any other combination of four parameters. (Unfortunately, you can't use the Multi-FX to control on/off parameters. That's one of my wish-list items.) Ultimately, I think you'll be happier with a full-featured MIDI pedalboard. I resisted for a long time plunking down the $400 for a Roland FC-300. Now that I have the FC, I'm kicking myself for not buying it sooner. It took me about 5 minutes to set up individual CC controllers for all the effects in my performance patch. (I only use one patch on the 11R.) I've barely scratched the surface of what the FC-300 can do. There's a "patch" mode that can send streams of MIDI messages. That'd allow me to set up single stomp switch to make multiple changes, e.g. turn on some FX and others off at the same time. Do your research. The FC-300 does have one minor limitation affecting use with the Eleven Rack. There are other alternatives, too. You can't beat the price of the Behringer FBC-1010 (although you'll need the third-party Uno firmware to make it usable). The Rocktron MIDI Mate is a step up from your MIDI xChange, at a reasonable price. |

Re: Amp/cab spillover
Yeah...I know my controller is garbage but theres not much I can do about it right this second. The MIDI XChange is a hand-me-down I got from a buddy, and it actually serves it's purpose pretty well. I'd love to have a GCP but it's not in the cards for me at the moment.
Regardless, using the CC's is a fine idea, but it's really a workaround that won't work for me. I need to switch from my clean/flange/no gate to the boosted Recto M/tight gate, not really something I can build into one patch and switch a couple blocks on and off. I've been rehearsing with my 'band' for the past couple weeks now and I've been trying to compensate for the lag by hitting the switch just before I want the switch to happen but it's pretty hard to time it. |
