Now it could've been due to the Active pickups, that is, the EMG707's I have installed in the majority of my guitars. But, I could get a very good clean out of my Korg unit. Anyway, I was a little disappointed in the 11R on the clean front.

Now I am pleased to report that with the ERXP I don't have that problem anymore. What's more with the Dyn Delay, compressor, Para EQ and chorusing options I am in clean heaven. Sometimes I feel like the Edge from U2 . VaiSatchAttrucci made a vid with an mic'ed acoustic guitar, using Para EQ/compressor and it sounds "great", check it out on YouTube. I am as pleased as punch. But with everything just because the ERXP works for me doesn't mean that it will work out for you - individual results will vary. All I can say is I've been playing more since the ERXP came out than I thought possible - inspiration city.

And the new 3 Bogner Ecstacy, SOD and variac amp models are the bees knees - metal forever dude .

Anyway, I managed to find what I was looking for .
Good to hear.

I did listen some tracks I did with it and they do sound pretty good. I think I remember thinking "This thing sounds way better in the track than by itself" LOL.

But the convenience, mama mia, I could use the convenience. I'm on deadlines weekly and have to have 5-6 tracks done each week and micing real amps is not an option, nor is spending 1600 for an AXE FX. And the HD500, which I haven't heard, is still a floor unit.

Eleven Rack is perfect in theory....

Hmmm
