104 EMPTY - Eleven Rack Rigs


The "Empty" rigs are 104 rigs set to exactly the same setting. These rigs are not meant to be played through. They are a simply a way to quickly set all the User rig banks to the same exact setting.

Why do you need the "Empty" rigs? Well, you don't need them. There is no reason you cannot load a rig over another rig, or create a rig over another rig.

The reason these rigs are being provided are for people who prefer a standardized starting point for their Eleven Rack, for whatever reason.

One reason may be to load all the EMPTY rigs first, then load a few rigs into the Eleven Rack that will be used in a session or gig. By having the EMPTY rigs in there it can perhaps minimize mistakes of choosing the wrong rig for a song.

Another reason would be when creating new rigs and wanting to start from the same exact point from slot to slot, bank to bank. While its true that you do not need to start from the same point, for some work-flows it may be helpful.

Rig/Preset Downloads Now Include "Load All Rigs" Folder


---EDIT 1/24/13
The Load All Rigs method used has changed for future rig uploads. To learn more, see here:
UPDATE: Load All Rigs from Computer for Rig Downloads ---



Preset/Rig packs that contain at least 10 rigs have been updated to include a folder called
"Load All Rigs from Computer"

This will allow you to download a rig pack and instead of having to load one rig at a time, you can now load all of the rigs at once; which will enable you to test out all the new rigs seamlessly, quickly, and easily. You of course still have the option to load one rig at a time.

In the "Load All Rigs from Computer" folder, you will see the rigs included in the pack with a bunch of other rigs named -unused-. Those files are included so the XML file works correctly, the -unused- rigs are just that, unused.

If you have already downloaded all the rig packs, you will need to re-download the packs to get the new folder. This can be done quickly from the Download Zone which will open up a new tab for each rig pack that you click on - enabling you to go from pack to pack very quickly.

Again, this only applies to packs that contain 10 rigs or more, excluding the 47 Pre-ERXP pack because that pack is actually a combination of several smaller packs.

Any future rig packs that contain at least 10 rigs will be uploaded with the "Load All Rigs" folder from the start.



This addition will drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to test out all the rigs in packs that you download. It can be tedious to load one rig at a time when a pack contains 20, 30, 80 rigs! That is why we added the "Load All Rigs from Computer" option.

We hope everyone enjoys this new addition to the rig/preset packs.

Remember to ALWAYS backup all your rigs before loading any new rigs - whether you are loading one rig at a time or loading all rigs at once. ALWAYS have a full dump of your preferred rig setup saved to your computer/cloud.

Thanks for visiting the blog


Well, the release of the Ruin - M2c+ rigs marks the end of the November = Eleven (rack) week (or really a week and a couple days).

New rigs started be released on Nov. 11 (11-11, get it) and ended today.

There were 179 new rigs added over the past week and a couple days, hopefully there will be something in there for every Eleven Rack user.

Though this ends the frantic releasing of new rigs, fear not - there will be more rigs added in the future and a new way to load the rigs to make it easier to test them all out quickly.

Thanks to everyone who watched the videos, liked and commented on the videos, and came to the blog.

There are now OVER 650 rigs/presets on this site! Thanks to everyone who supported the blog and made it possible to reach that number. We hope that this blog has been useful to you and has provided you with Eleven Rack rigs, information, tutorials, and misc that have improved your Eleven Rack experience.


26 Ruin - Mesa Mark IIc+ Edition - Eleven Rack Rigs




26 Ruin - Mesa Mark IIc+ EDITION

Eleven Rack Expansion Pack Required!

The philosophy of the RUIN rigs, is a bit different from other rig packs. Ruin rigs are setup to drop right into a mix with minimal mixing needed after. Of course this is not exact and personal preference plays a roll.

The Ruin Rigs employ 2 Parametric EQ's. EQ 1 (in FX1 slot) does the shaping of the tone, EQ 2 (in FX2 slot) is the module that gets the tone "mix ready". On EQ 2 there will be a Highpass (HP) and Lowpass (LP) set, but only the HP will be ON by default. To turn ON the LP, just click the TYPE button ONCE on the HF (high filter), that will select the LP6 filter, click again to select LP12, again to select LP24, or just use the drop down.
(I am referring to using the on-screen editor to choose the filter type)



These RUIN Mesa Mark IIc+ Rigs are setup to sound realistic. In setting up these rigs, I referred to the analysed frequency response of professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered Mark IIc+ tracks. And the frequency response of the Mark IIc+ in the Eleven Rack is almost exact (once EQ is applied).

The rigs are setup first with the amp/cab/mic only, and they are set to realistic settings. I suggest that you try playing the rigs with all effects OFF at least once. You may want to record with just the amp/cab/mic, then do all the EQing and other mixing later on. Or use the EQ's ON, it's up to you and what your mix needs!

17 Ruin - Mesa Dual Rectifier Edition - Eleven Rack Rigs




17 Ruin Rigs - Mesa Dual Rectifier EDITION

Eleven Rack Expansion Pack Required!



The philosophy of the RUIN rigs, is a bit different from other rig packs. Ruin rigs are setup to drop right into a mix with minimal mixing needed after. Of course this is not exact and personal preference plays a roll.

The Ruin Rigs employ 2 Parametric EQ's. EQ 1 (in FX1 slot) does the shaping of the tone, EQ 2 (in FX2 slot) is the module that gets the tone "mix ready". On EQ 2 there will be a Highpass (HP) and Lowpass (LP) set, but only the HP will be on by default. To turn ON the LP, just click the TYPE button ONCE on the HF, that will select the LP6 filter. (I am referring to using the on-screen editor to turn on/off the filters)



If you do not like the sound with the HP/LP ON or OFF, or you don't like the EQ curve, you can simply turn OFF all the effects! These rigs have been setup to sound good on their own with no further effects.

In fact I recommend that you try turning OFF both EQ's and playing with just the amp/cab/mic active (and the reverb to add some "room") at least once. The settings on the amp are set to realistic Dual Rectifier settings. You can record without the EQ's active, then do all the EQing yourself later on, or use the EQ's ON, it's up to you!

While making these rigs, I frequently referenced real tones from a Mesa Dual Rectifier, a more recent model, played through a Mesa cab.The Dual Rectifier in the Eleven Rack is remarkably accurate to the frequency response of real recorded Dual Rectifiers. The main difference is there is quiet a bit more "activity" in the 12k-17k range, there is much more harmonic distortion in that area of the real Mesa Dual Rectifier. This was observed by using frequency analyzers. Again though, the real amp being analysed is a more recent model, the version in the Eleven Rack is from 1992. Also, the amp analysed was dual mic'ed and as said was using a Mesa cab. However, the main frequency response is spot on.

26 A is A Mesa Mark IIc+ Edition - Eleven Rack Rigs




26 A is A Mesa Mark IIc+ Edition Eleven Rack Rigs

Eleven Rack Expansion Pack Required!

The A is A Rigs were made specifically for low tuned guitars, such as Drop A, G, F# ect...
However, they will work just as well for any tuning (Standard, Drop D, Drop B, ect...)

Furthermore, unlike some previous A is A rig packs which were made using a guitar tuned to
Drop B, Drop A, or lower, the rigs in this package were created with a guitar tuned to Drop C#.

Also the rigs in this package may be more saturated than some previous rigs, so if you prefer less
saturation, just back-off on the Gain/Drive.

The 'MOD' block on each "A is A" rig has a Multi-Chorus effect turned ON by default.
The Multi-Chorus is what gives the A is A rigs their signature sound, it adds depth, and width,
and is intended to stay ON, but if you don't like it, turn it OFF.

Every effect slot has been set, even if an effect is not ON by default, that effect has been set. So try turning ON/OFF all the effects.

Usually, the Green JRC Overdrive pedal would be ON by default on our Metal rigs. However, this time we left the Green OD OFF by default. If you need to focus the low end and add a bit of bite, try turning the Green OD ON.

Adjust to your liking.




KEY:

 "L" means "LEAD" These rigs are extra saturated and have more reverb for a super lush lead tone. Adjust to your liking.

"C" means "CLEAN" These are Clean rigs, not distorted. Some may be slightly overdriven.

Falsify Rigs are Synth, Pad, FX, and Effected Clean style Eleven Rack Rigs.




Every effect slot has been set, even if an effect is not ON by default, that effect has been set. So try turning ON/OFF all the effects.

Adjust to your liking.

"L" means "LEAD" These rigs are extra saturated and have more reverb for a super lush lead tone.

45 Oranges Rigs - Eleven Rack Rigs


45 "Oranges" Eleven Rack Rigs

Eleven Rack Expansion Pack Required!

What are "Oranges" rigs?



Well, they are NOT supposed to sound like amps from amp manufacturer Orange. And the name has nothing to do with Orange Amplification.

"Oranges" are what you get when you play the "Blues" on an Eleven Rack!

Since our beloved Eleven Rack has an elegant orange color to it, why would you play the blues??? When you can play the Oranges!

Oranges rigs are a combination of blues, jazz, and clean style rigs.

Every effect slot has been set, even if an effect is not ON by default, that effect has been set. So try turning ON/OFF all the effects. Especially the distortion block, by turning ON the Green Distortion you can get some great overdriven blues tones.

Don't play the blues, be original, play the Oranges!

Amps used in this rig set are the:

'67 Black Duo

’65 Black SR

’65 J45

’64 Black Vib

’97 RB-01b

November is Eleven Rack Month!


November, the eleventh month. Seems to be a perfect time to release several new Preset/Rig packs.

So, be sure to check back to the blog starting on November 11th (11-11) to download the first new rig pack.

Currently I have 7 new rig packs planned to be released. I may release these one a day for 7 days, or one every couple days - I'm not exactly certain right now, so be sure to check back to the blog every couple days to see if a new pack has been released!

Hopefully each rig pack will have its own demo video on YouTube, so if you are a subscriber on YouTube, your feed will be updated to alert you of a new rig pack.

80 A is A Rigs - Pack #4 - Eleven Rack Rigs





80 "A is A" Eleven Rack Rigs - PACK #4

Eleven Rack Expansion Pack Required!

The A is A Rigs were made specifically for low tuned guitars, such as Drop A, G, F# ect...
However, they will work just as well for any tuning (Standard, Drop D, Drop B, ect...)

Furthermore, unlike previous A is A rig packs which were made using a guitar tuned to Drop B, Drop A, or lower, the rigs in this package were created with a guitar tuned to Drop D (that's Standard tuning, then drop the 6th string from E down to D).

Also the rigs in this package are more saturated than previous rigs, so if you prefer less saturation, just back-off on the Gain/Drive.

The 'MOD' block on each "A is A" rig has a Multi-Chorus effect turned ON by default.
The Multi-Chorus is what gives the A is A rigs their signature sound, it adds depth, and width, and is intended to stay ON, but if you don't like it, turn it OFF.
Tweak the rigs further as you wish.



The Rigs are split up into 2 folders - A Rigs, and B Rigs.

All "A" rigs use a 4X12 Classic 30 cab and Ribbon 121 mic.

All "B" rigs use a 2X12 B30 cab and Dyn 57 mic.

The "A" and "B" rigs work well together in the mix. Record a couple tracks with some rigs from folder "A", then layer with rigs from folder "B" to create a sound with huge body while still having attack, and clarity.  The "R121" and "Dyn 57" mic's are favorites for use on guitar cabs in the studio, so why not use the same technique in the modeling world.

Of course there are no rules to what sounds good, so use what sounds best to you.

Effect Presets - Part 4 - Default To & Set User Default Settings


In this last part of the Effect Presets series, we look at the Settings Preferences menu further and discuss the Default To and Set User Default settings.

We will also do a quick review of what was covered in the whole 4 part series.

Watch the following video to learn more about how Default To and User Default can change the way effects are set when selected.

Effect Presets - Part 3 - Lock, Copy & Paste Settings



In Part 3, we will look at the great option to Lock a preset file to prevent accidental changes or deletion.

We also look at how to Copy & Paste effect settings from rig to rig, and discuss different ways this feature can be used.


Lock, Copy & Paste are essential features of the Eleven Rack, to learn about them, watch the following video.

Effect Presets - Part 2 - Save Settings To & Set Root Folder


In Part 2 we will look at where we are saving the Effect Presets to, and how to change it if you wish.

We will look at some of the settings in the Settings Preferences menu. It's important to know exactly where your settings files are being saved to, especially if you are transferring sessions to other computers and you want to have access to your effect presets files.

The following video will show you where the files are saved to by default, how to change it, and discuss the option to save settings to your session folder.

Effect Settings - Part 1 - Saving Effect Settings


Using "Effect Presets" with the On-Screen Editor of the Eleven Rack, is not only time saving, but it's a way for you to recall that exact setting you dialed in on an effect with ease.

We all know you can save an entire rig. But with Effect Presets, you can save the settings of individual effects, like the Dynamic Delay, Multi-Chorus, even the settings of the amp itself.

These settings can then be recalled at anytime, on any rig.

Effect Presets is a really great feature of the Eleven Rack.

Watch the following video to learn more about Effect Presets.

24 A is A Rigs Pack #3 - Eleven Rack Custom Rigs



24 "A is A" Eleven Rack Rigs - PACK 3

Eleven Rack Expansion Pack Required!

The A is A Rigs were made specifically for low tuned guitars, such as Drop A, G, F# ect...
However, they will work just as well for any tuning (Standard, Drop D, Drop B, ect...)
You may need to adjust the Gain up if you are tuned very low, depending on your guitar and pickups.


The 'MOD' block on each "A is A" rig has a Multi-Chorus effect turned ON by default.
This adds depth, and width, and is intended to stay ON, but if you don't like it, turn it OFF.
Tweak the rigs further as you wish.




The Rigs are split up into 2 folders - A Rigs, and B Rigs.

After creating the 'A' rigs in this package (v30 4X12 cab, R121 mic), we also liked the sound of the B30 2X12 cab with a Condenser 67 mic OFF AXIS. So all Rigs in the 'B' folder have the same Amp and Effect settings as their 'A' rig counterparts, but the Cab and Mic have been changed, and a B was added to the name of the Rig. The 'B' rigs are great at adding texture, or used for lead, but can also be used as the main tone of a song. Let your ear decide.

Tweak the rigs further as you wish.

The Rigs are split up into 2 folders - A Rigs, and B Rigs.

After creating the 'A' rigs in this package(v30 4X12 cab, R121 mic), we also liked the sound of the B30 2X12 cab with a Condenser 67 mic OFF AXIS. So all Rigs in the 'B' folder have the same Amp and Effect settings as their 'A' rig counterparts, but the Cab and Mic have been changed, and a B was added to the name of the Rig. The 'B' rigs are great at adding texture, but can also be used as the main tone of a song. Let your ear decide.

Expand Your Tonal Possibilities With Redwirez


Have you been wanting a more diverse collection of cabinets and mics for your Eleven Rack?

Are you tired of waiting for more cabinets to be added to the Eleven Rack?

Have you been wanting more options for mic positions than "On Axis/Off Axis"?

Then look no further than the BigBox IR bundle from Redwirez.com! Included in the purchase of the BigBox is a great plug-in that will host those IR's called MixIR 2.

So what is an IR?

IR is short for "Impulse Response". An Impulse Response of a cabinet and microphone can be used in a convolution plug-in to accurately reproduce the tone and frequency response of the modeled cab and mic.

Using IR's with the Eleven Rack is very simple. Create a new AUDIO track, set the Input to the Eleven Rig, and place an IR host on an Insert. Then, since you will be using an IR for the cab sound, you need to BYPASS the cab of the Eleven Rack. ARM the track, and start loading IR's into your IR host program - that's it.

You don't need the Redwirez BigBox to use IR's with the Eleven Rack. You don't need MixIR 2 either. You could use free IR's and an IR host that you already own, or use a free IR host.

However, you will be hard pressed to find IRs that meet that quality of Redwirez IR's. And with the BigBox, you have (at this time) 49 cabs to choose from, with many, many, different mics and mic positions for each cab - it would take days to go through all of the possible positions and combinations!

February Eleven Rack Poll Results

So in February we asked the question,

"If the current Eleven Rack were to be updated again - What would be the MOST important addition(s)? What would you most like to see added?"

There were a total of 75 votes, and keep in mind that you could choose multiple items (the total  % of ALL items will be over 100% because of that) 

And as expected, the top performer was Standalone Editor. The addition of a Standalone Editor is paramount to the future success of the Eleven Rack, at least in my opinion. As most of you probably know, Standalone Editor also has a majority of votes on the official Pro Tools IdeaScale (Eleven Rack section). As of today there are 293 "I agree" votes for the addition of a standalone editor, and keep in mind, IdeaScale is somewhat fragmented - meaning that the Standalone Editor request has more than ONE entry on Ideascale; so the total is much higher than 293. Some people may vote for one entry of Standalone Editor, but not the other(s) for example, which in turn depletes the total number of votes on each distinct request, so it may appear to a casual viewer that the Standalone Editor is not in demand to a great extent. Which it is.

To vote for the Standalone Editor, other requests, or add your own request - head over to the Pro Tools IdeaScale. PLEASE, search IdeaScale before adding your request, as there is a great likely-hood that your idea is already posted, and you do not want to fragment the vote.


Some what surprising to me,

ERXP Amps, Effects, ect... Not Showing In Pro Tools (Eleven Rack Editor Window)


If you have purchased an Eleven Rack and it included Pro Tools 9/10 and the ERXP (Eleven Rack Expansion Pack) a.k.a. Firmware 2.0.1 pre-installed, and you are wondering why the Amps, Effects, ect... that were added by the ERXP are not showing up in the Eleven Rack Editor Window in Pro Tools

OR perhaps you had previously installed the ERXP, and everything was working fine in Pro Tools, but you upgraded Pro Tools to another version, or you uninstalled Pro Tools and re-installed, or you upgraded to a new OS or new computer and installed Pro Tools; and upon opening the Eleven Rack Editor Window you no longer had access to the ERXP Amps or effects and the normal picture icons were replaced by the 'coil' icons as seen above......

The problem is that, currently, Pro Tools does not install the needed User Interface (UI) files for an updated Eleven Rack to display properly in the 11R Editor Window. What is installed are the OLD UI files that have been included since Pro Tools LE 8.0.1 - but these files do not contain the information for the items added by the ERXP - they only contain the information for the standard Amps, Effects, cabs, ect... that were included when the Eleven Rack was first released in 2009.

But there is a solution!

(*as of Pro Tools 10.1 and higher, the ERXP UI files are included with your Pro Tools install)
