Digidesign Eleven LE Plug-In Review

Guitar players care about 1 thing, tone. I have a collection of guitars and amplifiers in my room I pretty much have a wall of speakers. I have all kinds of microphones to mic them with and record them using pro tools. Micing an amp can be sometimes just a pain to get the microphone in that sweet spot not to mention the cost of the amps and microphones. I have used amp modelers before and some you can get decent sounds out of but this plugin is one of my favorites. An Ilok is required which isn't as big of an issue now that PT 9 requires it as well. I will say Digidesign takes there time making plugins and they do it right. This plug in doesn't kill your computer and faithfully creates sounds of the amps they modeled. Overall I was more than impressed with what this plugin can do and the tone that it produces is remarkable. I would recommend demoing it first, I did and I bought the asset a week later.

"Most guitarists are willing to invest thousands of dollars in search of a guitar amp that will unleash the perfect tone. For many, it means having to own several amps that all have a uniquely different voice and purpose.

This is an awesome preamp! great tone, my guitar snarls and squeals like never before. Does it feel like a tube amp? not quite but its close in terms of response to playing dynamics. Missing some of the harmonic nuances of tube tone decay*... but hey, if you have $$ to drop on a triaxis or a real amp (which you probably couldn't use in an apartment), you shouldn't be looking here anyway. Note: the little handles on the side are black, not silver as shown in the picture.
*e.g. ~4:50, comfortably numb on Pulse
