11rack still good?

[shreder75]

No cab a peavey power amp the update for the 11 rack case and a pedal board and cables were what was offered

I reiterate: do not make this deal.

 

[crankyrayhanky]

PM'd OP if any interest remains in a full rig - less cab - as a REV F is only a head.

wat

11R + junk is actually worth less than 11Rack alone. I wouldn't trade a revF for 3 Eleven Racks...and I kind of like the 11R as a cool studio tool, but yikes

 

[gibson5413]

Once I get pictures I'll let you guys know

What pictures? The answer is no, tell this guy to jump off a bridge. I had an 11R and thought it sucked.

This!!!

Lol I love the passion on rigtalk so much I have been trying to change things up but I just want to atleast see what the rig looks like although shipping the head is probably just as much as the rack itself

 

[shane159]

There is no way I would do that trade.

First off, let's be clear: I am not the person who solicited the OP in the first place. I'm simply responding to this thread and have communicated with OP outside of this thread, as well.

The only point I'm making in the above quoted statement is that the rig I have assembled and would trade/sell does not include a cabinet, as neither does a "REV F," which is only a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier amplifier head and does not include a cabinet, either.

As I've communicated with the OP and many, many others in my time and use: I completely understand the differences between ALL modelers and real amps; however, the Eleven Rack is a good hardware unit - for many reasons - and if one is looking for a live performance option where a REV F has been used, the Eleven Rack could be altogether acceptable. The immediate disdain for the unit within this thread is very misleading, IMO/E.

 

[shreder75]

It's not disdain for the 11r. It's that the trade is silly. A rev f goes for what used? A grand? $1100? You can get a used 11 r for well under $300. Unless there's a hefty pile of cash involved, this makes no sense.

 

[Racerxrated]

It was suggested that it was a full 11R rig...which I would assume would include a power amp, midi pedal and cab of some kind. If the power amp is a nice Mesa/VHT or other high end, and pedal/cab are decent it could be an OK deal. But I would still say to try first. If you can't play though it, pass.

Your point about the Mesa being only a head....its all about the dollar value here and what something is worth should he decide to sell. The 11R is a 300$ unit. Rev F is 1100. Whatever is packaged with the 11R needs to be valued at an additional 800$ to make it equal. Used prices. That's all anyone is saying.

 

[brianiac5150]

If it's just that...I certainly agree.

"11R + junk" would also certainly be senseless.

On the other hand I total my rig (which includes zero junk and no cab) at $1200. Just like the head; plug it into a cab and - especially in a typical band performance environment - and I guarantee it'll hold its own and in many instances walk all over the REV F into a cab, especially clean/low gain. The only people who'd nit-pick the differences would be the last people in the place I'd care to entertain, although welcome their attendance.

Agreed and understood, Racerxrated.

This sentence makes absolutely no sense.

 

[crankyrayhanky]

Try to sell a Peavey power amp, cables, and what is likely a cheap midi board and see if it is close to the $800 value needed to make this a fair trade. IMO it's almost unsellable and you would be lucky to get any cash out of it if you tried to sell. And once you stop using the 11R all that stuff does nothing but clog up storage space making it worth -$.
Herego junk.

 

[crankyrayhanky]

Hey All,

I have a closet full of old cables: instrument, xlr, midi- you name it. I even have a headphone adapter that I can include. I'm now taking offers on that + my Crate Tube Amplifier head in a trade for a Mesa Dual Rec. I prefer 2 channel. We are talking about Tube Amp Heads here so it is even-steven. I will need cash back to account for my cables and stuff but we can work that out once I get your cc numbers.

 

[Elric]

Gotta say, I'm also surprised by the responses: the negativity.

The issue isn't that the 11R is no good. The issue is that the OP could sell his amp, and buy the rig he is being offered in trade and have a bunch of $$ left over; an 11R can be had in the neighborhood of $250. As a financial transaction he is being 'taken', it's not personal, it's bidness. You'd have to be a moron to do this deal. It'd be like trading a $50000 car for $10000 car, does not mean the $10K is not a 'good' car, it just means the math works against the guy with the $50K so he would have to be $40K lazy to not sell that mofo and get something of equal value or have crazy ADD to not keep looking for a fair trade.

I cant stop laughing this is hilarious

 

[BrentSSL]

For sure not making the trade a the gear does not equal the value of the Rev F

 

[Reflux]

Don't do it.

 

[live4metal]

Ok you're talking about one of the best heavy metal amp on the market against an old piece of shit modeler that is 7 years old that has been replace by 2 generation of axe fx and kemper which I suppose will be replace soon by a 3rd gen. I had a Eleven rack that I tried to plug into fx loop as some others mentioned and sounded terrible. Of course I believe it can sound decent with a full poweramp rig but it still stays a digital unit which completely outdated. And if you have good ears and are used to tube amp you will be very disappointed I'm telling you.

Cheers!
