Digidesign Eleven Rack
Posted by: | Comments
Released yesterday is cool new guitar tool that is aimed to cover a lot of ground from a pre amp for live playing to a great studio tool. From Digidesign comes the new Eleven Rack. It’s a hardware preamp/interface using the already popular digital technology found in their Eleven guitar plug in that is in use in quite a few studios.
From Digidesign: “Eleven™ Rack is a revolutionary new guitar recording and effects processing system designed to eliminate the challenges guitarists have faced in the studio and on stage. Say goodbye to the lackluster guitar amp “models” of yesteryear: Eleven Rack utilizes a unique tone cloning design and one-of-a-kind, custom-designed True-Z input to re-create the experience of playing through a full guitar rig. By combining studio-standard Pro Tools® software with a DSP-accelerated high-resolution interface, Eleven Rack puts professional recording into the hands of every guitar player. Whether you’re tracking in the studio or playing on stage, Eleven Rack delivers fresh, mind-blowing, hyper-realistic guitar amp and effects tones that will inspire your best performances.”
I’ve got one that should arrive today and I’ll demo it this weekend and give a review here shortly.

Demo: New Nuno Bettencourt Randall Amp Demo
Posted by: | CommentsThe guys over at Funky Monkey have put up a cool demo video of the Nuno Bettencourt signature amp.
From Nuno: “There is a reason that I have never endorsed any amplifier company exclusively,” he writes. “Because I have always had to jump back and forth from amp to amp. One for rhythm… Another for solos. A different amp on every recording and tour… constantly searching… unsatisfied. Always good… but not great. Never finding that perfect tone. There was always something missing. Basically, I gave in and truly believed that Marshall would be the staple to fall back on… The Constant.
“Until now. The words… “I’ve got an amp that I will put my name on and have put it up against any other amplifier and blew them away”. I thought those words would not come out of my mouth. But they have. And it’s true”
