Hey Guitarists... This One DOES Go to 11!!

For all my guitar playing friends out there - and there are many - here's something you're definitely going to want to bend an ear on: the new Eleven Rack guitar recording and effects processing system.

I know what some of you are thinking. this is just a shameless plug because I work for the company that makes it. But it's not. We make a lot of products for guitarists - and I have to tell you that this one is simply outstanding. Sure there are other amp modelers out there - but Eleven Rack has many unique characteristics that put it in a class by itself. First, it uses a tone cloning function and custom "True-Z" input which re-create the exact experience of playing through a full guitar rig. More importantly, it integrates with Pro Tools (the #1 Recording software out there) so you can take all those great sounds from your studio recordings and just dial them up on stage with the push of a button. Imagine going back into the studio months later to punch in a few chords or notes in a solo - and all you have to do is bring the same guitar you played on the first takes - and just dial in the sound settings you saved. Forget the painstaking process of trying to replicate amp tones by ear... it's all there in Eleven Rack. For those of you who have Pro Tools, you may already be familiar with the Elven software plug in - and that will sync directly with Eleven Rack, allowing you to control the hardware directly from your PC. Just amazing.

I've heard this unit up close, and compared to every other modeler I've played through, nothing comes close. Check out the Eleven Rack Sounds sounds and videos and you can also check out a press video review at premierguitar.com.
