Guitar-specific Pro Tools Interface/Effects Box with Custom Presets!
"As you probably know I have worked for a number of years with "modeling" amps of various kinds including plug ins, however, I have to say that the Eleven Rack is quite extraordinary; it's absolutely my favorite!" - Legendary guitarist Allan Holdsworth

Digidesign Eleven Rack USB Audio Interface at a Glance:- Built for optimal guitar tone and performance
- Standalone performance
- High-quality Pro Tools LE Interface
- Sweetwater-exclusive Artist Presets
Built for optimal guitar tone and performanceWhile there are spot-on emulations of legendary effects onboard, an effects loop allows you to keep your favorite stompboxes in the loop. Many of us have a range of guitars, running the gamut from vintage single-coil-equipped axes to more modern guitars with active pickups. The "True-Z" front-panel input automatically senses the optimal impedance for your guitar and adjusts itself accordingly, ensuring the best guitar tone possible, no matter what guitar you're using. Standalone performanceEleven Rack can run as a standalone guitar processor, making it ideal for taking to the stage, without the need for a computer. Plus, dual 1/4" outputs let you pump the modeled sound into a physical amp onstage or in the studio, or when you're just jamming around the house. And with the DSP-accelerated hardware, you'll never have to worry about latency while you're playing — hit the string, and your tone comes out of the speaker instantly. Digidesign also included a classic collection of effects, from must-have stompboxes to world-class rackmount studio processors. Eleven Rack has all the I/O flexibility you need to integrate it into your existing rig, and easily incorporate the tones you've recorded with into your live setup — closing the gap between studio and stage. Eleven Rack takes amp emulation and guitar performance to new heights, and that's only half the story. High-quality Pro Tools LE InterfaceEleven Rack performs double duty, also acting as an audio interface for the included Pro Tools LE software. But, it's completely designed to give guitarists a tremendous amount of control over their guitar sound during the recording process. You get eight simultaneous recording channels at 24-bit/96kHz and enough I/O to accommodate a number of recording tasks, including S/PDIF, AES/EBU, a mic input, effects loop, and more! And while it's a Pro Tools LE interface, it also offers a bit more Eleven-specific functionality within the software, allowing you to really manage the inner workings of the interface. Use the Eleven Rack control window within the included Pro Tools software to create and edit your Eleven rack settings. Plus, Eleven Rack also takes re-amping to the next level by recording both dry and processed guitar signals simultaneously, allowing you to re-amplify later without patching a single cable. Sweetwater-exclusive Artist PresetsWe have a great relationship with Digidesign, and we're able to offer Eleven Rack with Sweetwater-exclusive artist-created presets to kick start your Eleven Rack experience. You'll get presets from Johnny Hiland, John Jorgenson, Mark Morton, and Buddy Miller. These presets are only available from Sweetwater! Listen to audio clips here.

If you're a guitarist and you've been scared to get into recording, or if you're a seasoned professional, the Eleven Rack has something to offer you. This is the first product to really nail the elusive idea of having one box for the studio and the stage. The True-Z input really makes the Eleven Rack feel just like you're plugging your guitar into the amp like normal. The Eleven Rack will change the way you think about guitar recording forever. Did I mention that it also comes with Pro Tools LE in the box? This product really is a game changer.

The Eleven Rack kind of freaks me out: plugging into the "True-Z" input really mimics the feel of plugging into an amp, you can feel it push back at times. The amp and cab models really sound like speakers pushing air. I love that Digidesign really put some extra thought into the I/O and routing options; there are a LOT of different ways to use this rack. Buy one, you'll love it regardless of how you use it. And a special thanks to all the artists who took the time to craft special presets for the Sweetwater Edition!
This one really does go to 11.

I replaced my PODXT in the studio and for live use with the Eleven rack. I plugged in both to my bose l1 and hands down you hear and feel the difference. The Eleven Racks cuts through the mix in live ... read more [+]preformances without sounding thin. It handles my acoustic guitar as well keeping it in the pocket with good feedback control at higher volumes. Its a sonically bigger footprint onstage in my opinion. My band certainly heard the diffrence and told me so after the show.
All 12 amps are highly usable.any amp youy pick you can easily dail in something you can actually use. The FX are so close to the real deal you can leave your pedal board at home, but you probabley wont because plugging your favorite stomps in the FX loop and draging them to wherever you want in the signal chain produces just the results you expect. The amps sound great with my OCD,route 66 and crybaby.
The onboard overdrive fx are some of the the best I have heard in the modeling world to date.
Recording is a breeze. I love protools 8.
The Eleven Racks computer interface is perfectly laid out and easy to use.
I cant say enough good things about this unit and Sweetwaters service as well. The presets from sweetwater look to be something of a "collectors Item" right now as people who got there units elsewhere wonder wheres my cool Steve Stevens Solo patch or Keb Moes personal favorites. thats a nice added bonus.
I am a your average musician who loves to write record and play clubs. Eleven Rack fits my needs like a glove. close [-]

I just got mine this week...I opened the box (great packing), set it on top of my amp rig (for the time being), plugged in my PRS and my pair of ATH-M50's and WHOA! WOW! AWESOME! Later I patched it in ... read more [+]to my rig. It is incredible! The True Z input senses what is plugged in and there is zero latency. The presets (Thanks Sweetwater!) are wonderful and so realistic you would swear you are plugged into that identical amp. I played my Les Paul and my Strat as well and it never missed a beat. My Acoustics sound great as well and the effect is stunning! I can't wait to record and use this live for a concert. I have owned (and own) many of the so called modeling effects and amps but none compare to this. It meets and exceeds its claims and looks elegant as well. The included ProTools LE software is a great addition and now gives my studio some fantastic choices. This is something that needs to be experienced in person. I heartily recommend it close [-]
