Hey Pat, glad you found the search! I am pretty sure you found your answer but in case, the general consensus is that the 11R is pretty much abandoned by Avid. I am using the 11R for my main high gain stuff and just got my hands on a POD HD Prox for the cleans and effects. Seems to be a good mix so far.
