I guess I should ask this instead:

1. what type of guitar do you guys use with the eleven rack?
2. what type of pickups (active/passive, single coil/humbucker, etc.)?
3. do you have, or have you done, upgrades to your guitar's electronics (pickups, mods, re-wiring)?

Just an informal survey, I have an idea that multi effects users may be more inclined to do aftermarket upgrades on their guitars than the average player, but I could be wrong..

1. I have a Strat and a Les Paul, and my multitude of other guitars are now wall decorations. I figure if there's a sound those 2 can't make, I don't need to be making it. wink

2. The stock pickups, so single coil on the Strat, dual on the LP.

3. I have made no alterations.

Until recently,I played mostly acoustic guitar for the last 3 years. I fired up the 11R for the first time in ages, and was very pleased. It seems most guys into amp modelers are really into metal, but I will say - the clean presets on the 11R are great.

I've been using 'Weeping' for a funk-style tune I'm wanting to record. I believe the preset was modeled after Wind Cries Mary, which isn't funky, but it doesn't matter. The Strat sounds fantastic through it.

Same with Alt Country. I don't even like country music, but love that preset. wink
