Hey guys....FNG here. Was wondering how many of you have used the 11R and iPad modeling and how you think it compares. I've used my iPad for over a year now with an Apogee Jam, and have some really good tones dialed in...no issues with latency or anything. But....GAS, you know. I recently sold a guitar and have been wondering about direct recording solutions such as the 11R...the limitations of GarageBand is starting to get to me and I find myself wanting to use more of Reaper for clips and demos.

Would you compare it to the iPad stuff for me? Better, worse, more tube-like, better distortion, etc...I will say that I mostly play metal and some blues based rock stuff...I DO really love a good ambient intro with some cleans and delays, but the majority of my time is spent either on a 7-8 string playing brootz or on a LP doing blues rock stuff with delay. Examples:

7 string stuff:

I'm a huge fan of 5150 tones, for both cleans with delays and the brootz....for some reason I just always seem to come back to that amp, and I'd need a good workable model/preset for that.

I guess I'm just wondering if I'm going to notice enough of a difference in tones/feel to justify the cost for the 11R, or if it'd be better to just keep using what I've got.

Anyway....figured I'd ask. Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.
