Same thing when I am bluesin' it up with the band.

Still though, won't be getting rid of the BandMaster or the TwinReverb anytime soon. I've had both of them since before 1973. grin



I'll probably get killed for saying this, but the core tones of the Eleven Rack still hold up to the tones of the Fractal products. There are just less tone/color options in the 11-R, but the ones that are there are spot on & very good. The 11R tones are way better then anything I got out of Helix too & just faster to dial in. If you could load in different user cabinet IR's into the 11-R, it would change everything.

The FX side of things is a totally different story though. The depth & quality are jaw dropping.

The lush reverbs in the 11R beat everything except the Axe Fx & AX8 in my book.

I've always thought that if you can't sound good with the 11-Rack, then you just can't sound good at all. laugh

It really is funny just how far amp modeling has come.

Congrats on your success Bob & keep using whatever makes you play more in the end. It's also very important to test things out for your self & never listen to anyone o-line either (including me). grin
