Oh Yesss, the 11R love is back!!
I recently purchased a second hand southpaw Fender Strat and it absolutely kills through the 11R.

Compared to my other humbucker guitars and Agile 8 this just CUTS through the mix - lovely. And, all the amp models are much more useable and sound just 'right' to my ears.

The cabinet and mic sims leap out a lot more - for some reason I guess the 11R likes low gain pu's and it really is a breath of fresh air. I cannot wait for the new expansion pack to test the new models out.

I NEVER used the M2 before as it was just a fizzbucket - now with a little tweaking I have a perfect Metallica 'Kill Em All' 'Master of Puppets' and 'Garage Days' tone. It makes me want to bang my head and play guitar all over again.

The Lunar Steps preset and selection 2 and 4 on the strat give an instant Gilmore tone. Literally gave me shivers.

I'm recording some more demos and bits to A/B against. But I honestly think I have found my guitar for life, and the 11R is damn perfect for what I do.
