Digidesign Eleven Rack Details
Eleven Rack is a revolutionary new guitar recording and effects processing system designed to eliminate the challenges guitarists have faced in the studio and on stage. Say goodbye to the lackluster guitar amp "models" of yesteryear: Eleven Rack utilizes a unique tone cloning design and one-of-a-kind, custom-designed True-Z input to re-create the experience of playing through a full guitar rig. By combining studio-standard Pro Tools software with a DSP-accelerated high-resolution interface, Eleven Rack puts professional recording into the hands of every guitar player.

  • Eleven Rack can be used as a DSP-accelerated Pro Tools LE audio interface that can be plugged directly into a PC or Mac computer for direct recording with the included Pro Tools LE software
  • Eleven Rack can be patched directly into a mixing board or other recording system in order to record guitars directly

      Digidesign Eleven Rack Features
      Hyper-Realistic Guitar Effects Processor and Complete Pro Tools Recording Solution
      Eleven Rack is very powerful solution that's really multiple products in one: A standalone guitar effects processor and a complete Pro Tools recording solution designed just for guitarists. In addition, Eleven Rack offers unique features that help to bridge the gap for guitar players between the studio and the stage.
       
      Eleven Rack in the Studio
      Eleven Rack combines studio-standard Pro Tools software with a high-resolution, dual DSP-powered audio interface so users will never have to worry about latency when recording with its built-in amp/effects tones - nor will their computer have to carry the processing burden. Eleven Rack also takes re-amping to the next level by recording both dry and processed guitar signals simultaneously, allowing users to re-amplify later without patching a single cable. We even found a way to embed the Eleven Rack amp and effects settings into the audio tracks you record, enabling users to automatically recall those settings from your audio files on any Pro Tools system with Eleven Rack.
       
      Eleven Rack On Stage
      Eleven Rack also rocks onstage as a standalone amp tone and effects signal processor - Digidesign pulled out all the stops to make sure it sounds and feels just like playing through the real deal. They also included a classic collection of effects, from must-have stompboxes to world-class rackmount studio processors. Eleven Rack has all the I/O flexibility users need to integrate it into your existing rig, and easily incorporate the tones they've recorded with into their live setup - closing the gap between studio and stage. Eleven Rack also offers incredibly powerful control options using affordable MIDI controllers and expression pedals, providing full foot control over everything from vintage wah effects to tempo-driven delays and more.

      So good, it even made a purist switch. April 4, 2011
      Reviewer: David Finkelstein from Rochester, NY United States  
      So I bought the Eleven rack when it first came out because I am not a tone junkie and I like to have variety for practicing.  After working with a band, the guitarist reluctantly tracked everything through the Eleven Rack.  He liked it but felt that his '73 Marshall Super Lead was better.  So on the second album, we planned on using the Eleven rack for reamping the dry signal through his amp(it is great for this too btw).  When we went to reamp, it was so noisy and lacked the clarity we were used to.  So we patched it through the Eleven rack with the Plexi setting(emulation of his amp) and side by side compared it.  He was like, ummmm what?  Its like you turned the noise off and made it more vibrant.  So we reamped through the Eleven Rack after all.  He decided to sell his amp and got an Eleven Rack and a power amp to run through his cab live on stage.  He Loves It!  This thing is amazing, I am considering getting a second one for jamming out with people.
