With the 11R I have to spend a lot of effort with the parametric eq going with cab simulator on. Would I still have to play with the parametric eq?
If I go Rig Output No Cab to my tube power amp/4x12" cab it takes me seconds to have a very good sound and don't have to use the parametric eq.


Essentially, for me, it is no more difficult than getting dialed in for tracking. I run through a studio monitor to get the tones expected in-the-box through USB, and to send that to FOH guy is not a problem, as they should be running a quality full-range setup. I almost never have to touch the EQ in the 11r with the EPSi (the EPSi has a useful high and low eq on it as well), I just switch speakers to get the tone I am after.

Though I should mention the 11r may sound a little different at lower volumes than higher volumes (or maybe it is our hearing that makes us perceive sound differently at the different volumes), so I would recommend cranking the 11r or visiting a soundstage at least once before going live so you know what to expect. I don't have an issue, but a friend of mine mentions this to me all the time (though he only has an 11r, not 11r + EPSi)..
