∞ Avid releases Eleven Rack Expansion Pack

Written by

Avid on Tuesday released the Eleven Rack Expansion Pack. As the name suggests, its an add-on for the company’s Eleven Rack amp and effects processing systems.

[ad#Google Adsense 300×250 in story]The Expansion Pack includes much more than just a few new amp models. It also includes a new channel strip-type signal processing, allowing you to capture vocal and instrument performances using the same workflow as you use for the guitar.

Eleven Rack also gets one of the great bass amps with the update. I would describe it myself, but this is probably one of the best descriptions I’ve seen. From the Avid Web site:

“When it comes to getting that big, ballsy, blow-’em-away tone, guitarists have their Marshalls. Bassists bow to the great Ampeg SVT bass amplifier. And now you can get that thunderous, sought-after sound of rock legends worldwide with our hyper-realistic emulation of the vintage 1969 Ampeg SVT bass amp head and 8×10 speaker cabinet.”

A new dynamic stereo delay has been added and the Speaker Breakup found in the Eleven plug-in has been added to the rack version.

Now for the meat of the update for us guitarists. Here is what you can look forward to after installing the Eleven Rack Expansion Pack:
