i just went back and played the eleven rack after not playing anything but the axe-fx II for the last few weeks,,,,and i have to say that for core tone, the eleven rack is hard to beat. of course i'm talking superpack tones, not stock stuff. i still haven't got any axe-fx II presets that blow away the eleven rack....sad, but i still can't beat the "Singtall Krunch" preset i made for the eleven rack.
