^I haven't downloaded the expansion yet, probably in a week or so, i have plenty here on my learning curve to keep me busy.
3 days in with the 11R; first impressions
I played mostly straight in exploring the amp/cab/mic tones into headphones; rarely played with the fx. First thoughts on the rock sound were moderate, but a few tweaks and the amps sound real cool- real solid tones for headphone-family-is-sleeping-people like myself. There were a few times I sort of jolted, thinking "oh no, this amp is way too loud, it'll wake the baby" before realizing it was no amp, just my headphones. So this application is a WIN. Totally useful for laying down ideas with a tone that inspiring.
I connected my mts modules via the loop and went to the cab/mic sims- yes! The Angel (Engl) clone is particularly astounding in this application. TOTAL WIN
The unit takes pedals well- not like an amp, but my pedals seemed to increase my happiness. The OD pedals in the 11R actually aren't bad, I like the Green TS. I flipped through some fx, and they're quality, fun to play with....
I'm downloading protools now, so everything I did was rack only, meaning the interface is intuitive- I never did more than glance at the manual.
It's not as great as my Amp blaring away, but for there are so many things it seems to do well, the price point is insane. It'll be interesting to see a tune get created through the 11R, reamp some tracks, maybe keep some others as is, and hear the results. I'm guessing 20 tracks of di guitar would be ill advised, but a few sprinkled in would be fine.
Keep in mind I was previously a guy who despised di electric axes, line6, etc...but this thing rocks
