Software Compatibility

You'll need an iLok copy protection device in order to use this software. If you already have one, you're good to go. If you don't, you can buy one here. An iLok is a small USB gadget (about the size of a thumb drive) that plugs into your computer. It "unlocks" the software, allowing you to use it.

Most software is compatible with both Mac and Windows computers, but check to make sure.

If you're using Pro Tools, AAX plug-ins (or RTAS for older versions) are what you need. Most other Mac DAWs support AU plug-ins. VST is compatible with a number of Mac and Windows programs. Be sure you choose plug-ins that work with your DAW!

Powerful Amp Modeling for the Stage and Studio

Here is all the amp modeling horsepower of Avid's Eleven Rack in a convenient stage and studio plug-in suite! The Eleven MK II gives you 33 amps and 15 speaker cabinets to mix and match. No generics here - these amps include clean vintage Fenders, classic Marshalls, high-gain Mesa/Boogies and Soldanos, and glassy Vox and Bogner models. Now the only thing standing between you and a great guitar or bass performance is a backing track. A feature Sweetwater guitarists find especially inspiring about working with the Eleven MK II is it allows you to change amps, mics, and miking techniques after you've already recorded. This means fretting about getting the "right" guitar tone will never have to get in the way of your creativity again.

Avid Eleven MK II Plug-in Suite at a Glance:
  • A coveted selection of vintage and modern amps and cabs at your fingertips
  • A world-class mic locker for endless tone variety
  • A versatile suite for Avid Pro Tools, Media Composer, or VENUE
A coveted selection of vintage and modern amps and cabs at your fingertips

Nothing beats the sound of a great tube amp in a great room going into a great mic. But let's be real - tube amps are expensive, loud to record properly, and kind of a pain to set up when you just want to plug in and capture a moment. That's where the Avid Eleven MK II comes in. For less than the price of even one classic tube amp, Eleven gives you 33 amplifiers and 15 speaker cabs from rock's golden ages. These can be configured in any combination for squeaky-clean leads to dirty rhythms and heavy metal mayhem. As long as you have a good DI, you can jack right into your computer, throw up an amp that inspires you in the moment, and worry later about finding the right amp/speaker combo for the mix.

A world-class mic locker for endless tone variety

Microphones and mic technique play an enormous role in how an amp sounds in a mix. That's why the Eleven MK II includes 10 carefully modeled microphones - including a Shure SM57, Neumann U87 condenser, and Royer 121 ribbon - to paint your guitar and bass parts in the very best light. Eleven even lets you record speakers on- or off-axis to dial in how much presence you want. Imagine the Eleven MK II's live applications: not only do you as a guitarist get to travel lighter without an amp, but you as a sound engineer get a cleaner stage sound and thousands of dollars of virtual mics of hundreds of virtual amp combos to play with at no risk to your personal equipment.

A versatile suite for Avid Pro Tools, Media Composer, or VENUE

The Eleven MK II works with Avid's most popular platforms to give all its users access to this great suite of plug-ins. So whether you record at home or mix on the go, the Eleven MK II has great guitar and bass tones for everyone in a user-friendly format.

Why would I buy this?

This is probably my favorite amp plugin, but I love most of my amp vsts. I've been using Amplitube for almost 15 years...I love Positive Grid,..TH3...GTR...EZMix...Kuassa...and the funny part is I spend a ton of time on Tonebridge...a free app and vst! I love the Petrucci and Malmsteen tones on that one the most, but there are many usable tones. Asia Only Time Will Tell is great for solos! The Eleven MK II seems the most authentic for some of the most crucial amps, or perhaps I should say it's the most uncompromising. Either way, you WILL need a better gate for the high gain tones. That's the least of my worries. I don't mind searching for a better gate if the original tone is so glassy I'm looking at my Mac and I can't believe it's a sim. Can't believe. Here's the thing though, I got this in the Avid Complete Plug-in Annual Bundle from Sweetwater. Why would someone pay this price when you can get the bundle...? UNLESS you don't use Pro-Tools, then I understand... I mainly use Live and Reason but I still use Pro-Tools First. I finally bought the Eleven Rack a month ago because of this plug-in. Now I have the editor, which seems identical to this. I won't miss a thing.

Great Amp Sim

One of the best out there, just make sure to use a proper 1MOhm DI or something like the MOTU Z-Box before your preamp to get the best tone. Also, the amp sims in general do sound better at higher samplerates.
