I wanted to get an Headrsuh Gigboard for convenience and for IR loader. Have you tried any IR loader after your 11R?

I have and I can't say that I absolutely love it. Not sure if it is just one more piece of equipment in the loop, but I fell in love with one of the IRs, and the rest were just missing something. Rather than chase it for a long time, I gave up and went back to my standard settings.
I do love recording directly from the Headrush. Just so many less cables and less moving parts. But for playing through an amp, I can't get the headrush to sound as true and real as the 11R. And I have spent more time on the headrush than any gear I have ever owned.
If I were to review, I would say; 11R for rehersal, live playing or micing up a real amp. To plug directly to the board - headrush direct rather than 11r with other outboard gear and external IR stuff, etc.

Still using mine too. I'm always toying with trying out smaller floor units but go back to the 11R..

Mine is my one and only.. so yeah, the 11r is still great..

Just found a used Atomic Firebox, will get it within a week. I mostly used my 11R as clean+boost/delay and crunch+boost/delay, so basically a 4-channel amp and the AFB might replace it, will see.
Now I'm having fun with my pre-11R rig: Rocktron Voodu Valve -> Peavey Classic 60/60 -> 4x12" cab.

Holy Moly, the JCM800 is very good. Just the amp sim, with a good IR, without any eq, and the sound is way more open than my 11R. BTW my JCM800 patch on the 11R is based on a free Singtall patch.

Still using mine with Pro Tools! Great for recording, practice, and fun!

FYI, just found that some old Macbook Pro and Mac Mini have an SPDIF input using (mini?)Toslink. I ordered a coaxial/toslink converter box and will check if it's working.
That can bring a long life to the Eleven Rack for recording and to add IR.
