I guess there is a bright side, as far as, the boost factor goes. Thanks for making me feel better. I have ran the 11r through 2 different sound cards and it just kills it somehow. I have tried spdif, aes, etc.. good quality ones too, and it kills that," alive", feel of the eleven rack. It does sound good in Pro-Tools, but that's it. I guess I will go for an epsi maybe, at least with the epsi, there is no limit to length of the ir, correct? I just can't justify spending 2k on a axe for home modeling, I would rather buy a Soldano, or a Bogner.
