Sold Pod HD, Bought 11R finally
Hello there,
I am watching this place some time now and finally this morning decided to sell my Pod Hd as i wasn't happy with the sound (a little plastic IMO) and after 15 minutes pulled the trigger to a brand new eleven rack with Pro Tools 9. Went home, Registered everything, downloaded pro tools 10, update to 10.0.1, enabled the ERXP to make it visible to Pro Tools interface and straight into heaven. So far i played with my 11R for an hour. Totally happy with it. Should i ask if there is another expansion coming? Also can you recommend some good patches for blues, hard rock and metal? Some EVH also would be good. How is the eleven rack in 4cm for FX only just to add Delay and reverb to my Marshall amp? Can i run my distortion pedals with the amp and use the 11r for delays? Well thats it for now. Sorry for all those question in one thread but i am sure you have been in the same position after fulfilling your G.A.S.... Thanks in advance

Re: Sold Pod HD, Bought 11R finally
Hey, welcome to Club Orange!
The 11R is a great little machine capable of many tones and textures even though it has fewer effects than many other Hardware Guitar Amp Simulation boxes - and it can beat almost all other boxes out there and matches others. As far as a new Expansion Pack - its possible, but only Avid knows, and they are not saying. A couple places to download user created Eleven Rack Rigs/Presets are: www.ElevenRackPresets.com and http://elevenrackusers.blogspot.com/...rack-rigs.html between those two site you have pretty much every style and type of tone covered. Be sure to read through the manual, it will answer many of your questions, and don't forget you also have a searchable PDF installed when you install Pro Tools, so if you have a specific questions, many times just doing a search for a 'keyword' of the 11R PDF will net you an answer. If you would like to view some Eleven Rack tutorial videos you can check the Avid website and also check my youtube page or blog, links are below. Good luck.

If you want to use pedals for your sound, then you can run the pedals into the unit, just like a real amp, and pick a clean amp in the 11R, like the Twin Reverb (Black Duo) or the DC Modern Clean. Then add delays and effects as needed.

Re: Sold Pod HD, Bought 11R finally
My recommendation is build your own patches. See, with other devices like the POD HD for instance you can indeed download other people's patches and use them without problems. However with the 11R some times a patch made for a certain guitar sounds completely different with another one. For some a downloaded patch might be a good starting point, but I prefer the aproach of learning how to build a patch from scratch and make it sound the way I want with a particular axe - I even name my patches after the guitars they're built on. It's harder but it has its payoffs, one of them being the fact that once you master building patches with the 11R, chances are you won't get lost if you ever have to deal with its real world fx blocks counterparts.

Re: Sold Pod HD, Bought 11R finally
Ok now i have a question regarding 4cm method
I tried to run my 11r in 4cm with my marshall class 5 effects loopand it seems that i am hering only the effects before the effectsloop block and not those after? what am i missing. Here is what i did Guitar > 11R input 11R FX send > amp input Amp FX send > 11R FX return 11R "Output to Amp" > amp FX return. Note that i used the effects loop inputs that say "mono" which are the left ones. also there is white button there and i tried both ways pressed and not pressed. also i set the 1/4" "Output to Amp"to "Amp Input" am i doing something wrong? Actually i want to use the 11r only for effects after the fx loop like delay and have the tone of my marshall intact.

Back on topic: If you set the "Output to Amp" to "Amp input", you're taking your signal from just before the amp block, so that's exactly what you'll get: just what's placed before the amp block. Where's your FX loop in the "virtual" signal chain? I take it you only want to use the the Class5 preamp, and use the 11R only for FX, correct? If so, put the FX Loop block in the spot immediately after the last effect you want "in front of" the amp, and move the Amp block to after the last effect you want in the Class5 loop. Then your chain will go (logically speaking): Guitar > Any "real" FX pedals you're using > 11R in (for "Pre- preamp" FX) > 11R FX Send to Class5 preamp > Class5 FX Send to 11R "Post-amp" FX > Class5 FX Return > Class5 power amp > Speaker. |

2. Ok, lets get it straight. what i want to do is to use the 11r only for fx with my amp and to do this as far as i know is to connect the 11r using the 4 cable method. i did that but the thing is that i can t hear the delays. the only thing i hear is the OD/Dist blocks. there is something i am doing wrong. are the cable connections i described above correct?

Within the 11r patch, do you have the delays pre or post amp model?
