The word revolutionary does not mean the same to AVID as to the rest of humanity. I think they used that word for Structure too as it arrived

The upgrade was $250. Air plugins alone were worth $250. But we also got many new and highly welcomed features. How is that disappointing?

As for the new product -- there's still quite a gap between real amps and modeling software. I do hope they've closed it a little. Based on the sloooow progression of gtr modeling software in general, I don't have high hopes. Nothing has been "revolutionary," just small steps.

It's a rackmount version of Eleven, after you fill out the form the browser page title says 'Eleven Rack'

Revolutionary, only if you like Eleven. Not a giant fan myself. Doesn't come even remotely close the real deal, for me at least. But, the whole personal taste in guitar tone is a very subjective debate indeed.
