22 FUTILE Pack #2 - Eleven Rack Custom Rigs



22 FUTILE Rigs PACK #2 for the Avid Eleven Rack

Eleven Rack Expansion Pack REQUIRED!

FUTILE Rigs are heavy metal style rigs, however they are different than other rigs.



Like the "A is A" rigs, the FUTILE rigs use a Multi-Chorus to create a wide field of sound, also, more reverb is used to add some depth and space to help create an "amp in the room" sound.

But what makes these rigs different is the use of the Flanger, which is used to change the frequency response of the tone. The Flanger is used to change the frequency response to tones that you can achieve through an Oversized cab or dual mic'ing a cab and adjusting the phase relationship between the two mic's.

The result is kind of like a comb filter on the low end and mids that produce a more raw, open sounding rig. The way I describe it is the mids sound "hollow" or "open".

While the chorus and flanger are meant to stay ON, feel free to turn them OFF.

Turn ON the Green Distortion to focus the low end and add more bite.

Adjust GAIN/DRIVE to suit taste.

Tweak further as you wish.

FUTILE Rigs are similar to "SeppuKu" Rigs, except that SeppuKu Rigs use a Compressor where the FUTILE Rigs use an EQ.

20 REPRISAL - Eleven Rack Custom Rigs



20 REPRISAL Rigs for the Avid Eleven Rack

Eleven Rack Expansion Pack REQUIRED!

REPRISAL Rigs are solo/lead style rigs. They use reverb and chorus for a wide, airy spectrum, and a flanger to change the tone to a more 'open' and 'raw' sound.

Adjust gain and reverb to fit the track. If you like the level of the reverb, but the notes do not have enough attack, then increase the PRE-DELAY setting.

Turn ON the Green Distortion to add more bite and edge.

Tweak further as you wish.
