Turn it up to, well... Digidesign Eleven Rack

In the "really?" category, Digidesign has just dropped Eleven Rack, which basically takes their Eleven guitar modeling plug in and puts it in a Pod Pro-esque two-space rack case incorporating a 2-in/2-out Pro Tools LE-compatible USB audio interface and a front panel XLR mic in with phantom power.

There's just ten amp models, seven cabs, seven mics and 16 effects, but for me, that's fine (I use exactly three amp models of the roughly 497 models on my Line 6 Flextone, and I suspect most serious musicians are the same). The other nice thing is that the presets actually sound like amps, as opposed to the mega-effected swooshathon so commonly experienced in rack boxes of this ilk. I'm as picky as they come, and I was ready to hate it, but it really does sound great. Additional, it allows you to record dry guitar and amp tones simultaneously in case you're into the reamping thing. This could be really cool if you want play like you would through an amp, then pipe it out to a real mic'd amp setup at a later date.

Nice job guys... we should have a review up next week. In the meantime, check it out.
