Chapter 3: Exploring Rigs Overview Eleven Rack is a powerful guitar signal processor that delivers tones from a wide variety of amplifiers, speaker cabinets, microphones, and effects units. The combination of all of this gear and their control settings make up a Rig. Eleven Rack comes loaded with over 100 Rigs that showcase the range of tones our amps and effects can achieve. The built-in Rigs are a good place to start, but the power of Eleven Rack really comes into play when you create your own.
Rig Select Mode Details Mode When you turn on Eleven Rack, it’s already in Rig Select mode. In this mode, you can turn the Scroll wheel to find and select a Rig. Rig Select Display Modes The Rig Select page can be viewed four different ways. To cycle through the display modes, press the SW1 button. This mode lists the amp, cabinet, and effects models that are used in the current Rig, plus their on/off status.
Rig Organization Selecting Rigs Live Rig name Rig number Rig Bank Eleven Rack has storage for 208 Rigs. Half of these are user-editable Rigs, and the other half are factory preset Rigs. You can also save and store an unlimited number of your favorite Rigs as plug-in settings files on your computer. When using Eleven Rack in live performance situations, we recommend using a footswitch accessory or a dedicated MIDI foot controller to switch from Rig to Rig.
What’s In A Rig? Figure 3. Example of a common Eleven Rack Rig signal chain Each Rig in Eleven Rack contains the following devices for processing your guitar signal from input to output. Each device has settings you can control. Also, some devices can be moved to different points in the signal chain. For more information on changing the order of devices, see “Signal Routing” on page 24. Signal Chain Devices Each Rig contains a group of devices that make up the processing signal chain.
Rig View Rig View lets you access every aspect of the current Rig, from the amp, cabinet, and microphone type, all the way to choosing effects, and changing their order in the signal chain. You can switch to Rig View from Rig Select View by pressing the Edit/Back button on the front panel of Eleven Rack. Page Indicator In Eleven Rack’s editing screens, a Page indicator appears on the display if there is more than one page of controls.
Amplifier, Cabinet, and Microphone Effects VOL AMP Turn the lit Control knob to select the type of simulated amp you want to use. Press CONTROLS to access additional amp settings. Press CONTROLS to access a Control page where you can adjust the position and minimum volume of the Volume pedal, using the lit Control knobs. CAB WAH By default, when Cab is selected in Rig View, you can access the following controls: Turn the lit Control knob to select the type of Wah pedal you want to use.
DLY TEMPO Turn the lit Control knob to select the type of Delay effect you want to use. Press CONTROLS to access additional settings for the chosen Delay effect. Turn the lit Control knob to set the Rig tempo. Any amp or effects settings that have a control set to sync to a specific subdivision of Rig tempo will lock to this tempo. FX LOOP Press MIDI to toggle sync of Rig tempo to incoming MIDI clock (from the MIDI input of Eleven Rack) on or off.
None No parameter will be affected when the pedal is moved. For information on toggling Eleven Rack between expression pedal and footswitch control, see “External Pedals” on page 92. METER Turn the lit Control knob to choose which signal the meter shows. You can meter various points within the Rig, or the input or output level of any of the analog, digital, or USB (Pro Tools) I/Os on Eleven Rack.
If there is more than one page of controls available for the current device or utility setting, a Page indicator is displayed. Turn the scroll wheel to switch between pages. You can also use the Scroll wheel to scroll quickly through all of the devices in the current Rig. When you’re finished editing, press Edit/Back to go back to Rig View.
The Amps This section takes you through all of the emulated amplifiers available in Eleven Rack, and touches on any special features and controls each amp offers. Just like the Tweed Lux, the Tweed Bass is also “jumped,” so you can feed both the Bright and Normal inputs in parallel.
‘64 Black Vib ‘65 Black Mini Produced for a short time in the mid-60s, the amp we based the ‘64 Black Vib model on is another one of the all-time great US-made smaller club amps. With an easy-to-overdrive but still not over-loud 40-watt 6L6GC-based power section and a single 15-inch speaker in an openback cabinet, this amp strikes a great compromise between the crunch of the smaller models in the line and the hall-filling clean tones of the larger models.
‘66 AC Hi Boost ‘67 Black Panel Duo Originally released in 1958, the British amp we based our ‘66 AC Hi Boost model upon went through a few design changes that would eventually define the sound of British pop/rock in the ‘60s. Without a doubt, the blackface-era amp we based our ‘67 Black Panel Duo model upon is considered one of the greatest combo amps ever made.
‘67 Plexiglas Vari This amp model is based on a British-made, 1967-vintage 100-watt tube head, similar to the 1969-vintage amp we used as the basis for our ‘69 Plexiglas 100w model. This new model simulates that amp having its voltage reduced by a variable transformer called a Variac. The voltage reduction changes the amp’s tone and sustain characteristics dramatically, producing the much-loved Brown tone some famous users of this amp were known for.
‘82 Lead 800 Based on the early-80s descendent of the amp we based our Plexiglas model upon, the ‘82 Lead 800 adds a higher-gain cascaded preamp design and a master volume control. Unlike the highvolume heads of the 60s, which needed to be on 10 to achieve an overdrive sound, this amp could conjure up real distortion at any volume level, and that made it very popular in the burgeoning 80s heavy metal scene.
’92 Treadplate Modern and Vintage Released in 1989, the amp that inspired our ‘92 Treadplate Modern and Vintage models seemed cooler than a high-performance racecar. With more tone-tweaking options and distortion than any amp before it, the amp became the industry standard for players looking to achieve a massive sound. With the ability to run on either 6L6 or EL34 tubes, this amp offered a choice between either tube or silicon diode rectifier circuits.
The Boost control simulates the Boost and Structure switches on the original amp. Setting Boost to 10 simulates both Boost and Structure switches on. A setting of 5 simulates Boost on/Structure off. A setting of 0 simulates both switches off. Toggle the Bright switch on and off with the SW2 button. DC Modern Overdrive The Modern model augments a modified highgain British amp flavor with a Bright switch and classic American-style Tremolo.
DC Vintage Crunch The Vintage model combines tonal attributes of 50s and 60s-era American tube amps, with added gain potential and a Bright switch. DC Vintage OD General Amp Controls The Amp controls can be accessed by selecting the AMP device in Rig View and pressing CONTROLS. There are two pages of controls for every amp. These controls are configured and named to closely match the amps we modeled for Eleven Rack.
Amp Output When using Eleven Rack with Pro Tools, you can choose to sync tremolo and other effects to either the Rig tempo or the tempo of the Pro Tools session. For more details, see “Rig Tempo” on page 77. Noise Gate Controls Each of the amps in Eleven Rack has a Noise Gate, which can be used to suppress noise coming from the instrument before the signal reaches the amp model. Noise can be especially problematic when boosted heavily at high-gain settings.
The Speaker Cabinets This section describes all of the emulated speaker cabinets available in Eleven Rack. 2x12 AC Blue This cab model is based on the original speakers and cabinet that match the AC Hi Boost amp model. With two British ceramic 12-inch speakers in an open-back cabinet, it offers chimey, mid-focused tones. 2x12 Black Duo The Cab page in Rig View 1x8 Custom This cabinet model is based on a small speaker cabinet with a single 8-inch ceramic-magnet speaker in an open-back configuration.
4x10 Black SR This cabinet model is based on the speaker cabinet of a classic US-made tube combo amp. It features four 10-inch alnico-magnet speakers in an open-back configuration. 4x12 Classic 30 This cab model is based on a classic 1960s 4x12 British closed-back cabinet. The classic 30 watt speakers we modeled for this unit give it a wide frequency response and major power.
Sonic Effects of Speaker Breakup The range of the control is 0 to 10. We recommend starting with a setting between 4 and 6. Around 1-2, the algorithm adds a relatively subtle “smoothing” of the high-end. By about 3, natural speaker “compression” of the high-end kicks in fully, which results in a somewhat darker sound. Above 8, the speaker breakup modeling starts to become more extreme than what occurs in an actual guitar speaker. These higher settings tend to work better with darker-sounding cabs.
Ribbon 121 The Effects Based on a modern ribbon microphone, the Ribbon 121 model offers rounded, sweet highs and mids, and solid, deep lows. This section takes you through the effects available in Eleven Rack. Bass Cabinet Microphones Volume Pedal The following two mics are specifically for micing bass cabinets, so they work exclusively with the 8x10 Blue Line cabinet model. Dyn 12 This mic model is based on a classic Austrian large-diaphragm dynamic bass drum microphone.
Wah Effects Distortion Effects Black Wah Tri-Knob Fuzz Black Wah is a standard wah pedal effect, offering a sweepable resonant filter that lets you add animation and special timbral effects to the guitar signal. The pedal that inspired Tri-Knob Fuzz was a transistor-based unit, originally popular with lead guitarists searching for ever-higher gain in the 70s. It shone again in the 90s grunge rock scene, probably pushed further into woolly grind than its makers would have ever anticipated.
Green JRC Overdrive DC Distortion Green JRC Overdrive was inspired by a low-gain 70s overdrive pedal, loved by blues and bluesrock players the world over for its sweet, singing sting. It can be used to simply drive an amp’s input section into gentle clipping, or supply some dirty glow of its own. This distortion effect, a custom model built just for Eleven Rack, offers a range of overdriven tones, aided by its built-in Bass and Treble EQ, which help shape the response of the clipping circuit.
Modulation Effects C1 Chorus/Vibrato Flanger Originating from the act of pressing on the flanges of tape reels, and becoming even more popular with the advent of analog pedals, the Flanger effect can be coaxed into bell-like resonant sweeps, or add a silky, shimmering sheen. This effect works well when positioned before or after the amplifier in the signal chain. Pre-Dl Sets the amount of pre-delay, which changes the phase relationship between the dry signal and the delayed signal, with timbral results.
Multi-Chorus This modulation effect is based on the Air MultiChorus plug-in that comes with Avid’s Pro Tools recording software. It offers the ability to stack multiple layers of chorusing, for thick, swirling sound. Rate Controls the rate of the internal modulating LFO. Sync Controls synchronization of the internal LFO to Rig or Pro Tools Session tempo. Ranges from OFF (no sync, set rate with Rate control) to a variety of rhythmic note values.
Roto Speaker Reverb Effects Blackpanel Spring Reverb Inspired by the rotating speaker cabinets that made classic tonewheel organs roar, Roto Speaker offers added motion and vintage grit. Speed Sets the speed of the rotating speaker effect in three increments: Slow, Fast, and Brake. Balance Sets the blend between the upper and lower rotors of the rotating speaker. Type Chooses between various types of rotary speakers. Blackpanel Spring Reverb was inspired by a classic outboard tube-driven spring reverb.
Delay Effects BBD Delay Tape Echo Inspired by the ultimate vintage solid state tape echo unit, Tape Echo supplies supple, crunchy echoes, and can, with a flick of the wrist, can be pushed into swells of wild self-oscillation, each repeat more murky, dusty, and gritty than the next. A classic. Rec Lev Controls the signal level running to the tape circuitry. Higher settings create a more distorted tone color.
Dyn Delay Mode Switches between the following four feedback routing options: • Mono: Sums the incoming stereo signal to mono, then offers separate left and right delay output taps from that signal. • Stereo: Processes the left and right channels of the incoming stereo signal independently and outputs the processed signal on the corresponding left and right channels. This stereo delay effect is based on the Air Dynamic Delay plug-in that comes with Avid’s Pro Tools recording software.
EQ & Compressor Effects Para EQ Graphic EQ Useful for simple frequency sculpting, a good Graphic EQ can find a place in almost any pedalboard. Graphic EQ can wring a variety of tones out of other pedals (such as when placed before Distortion effects). The EQ can also be used as a signal booster when positioned in front of amps. This effect provides a high-quality 4-band EQ, with adjustable gain, frequency, Q (bandwidth), and output for each band.
LM Gain Sets the gain of the low-midrange frequency EQ band. Gray Comp LM Frequency Sets the center frequency of the low-midrange EQ band. LM Q Sets the bandwidth of the low-midrange EQ band. HM Gain Sets the gain of the upper-midrange frequency EQ band. HM Frequency Sets the center frequency of the upper-midrange EQ band. HM Q Sets the bandwidth of the upper-midrange EQ band. H Gain Sets the gain of the high-frequency EQ band. H Frequency Sets the center frequency of the high-frequency EQ band.
Dyn III Compressor This effect is based on the Compressor plug-in from the Dynamics III plug-in set that comes with Pro Tools. It lets you control the dynamics of your guitar signal, much like Gray Comp. However, while Gray Comp emulates a classic guitar-specific compressor pedal with a smooth, liquid tone, Dyn3 Comp is more versatile, acting more like an outboard compressor used in recording situations.
General Effects Controls Sync The time-based effects in Eleven Rack (such as Chorus, Delay and Flanger) can be set to synchronize with Rig or Session tempo (including tempos set with the Tap Tempo button). Most Rigs are not set up to sync to Rig or Session tempo by default. You may need to turn on the Sync parameter in the effect you want to sync. Don’t Forget to Save! When you’ve got things tweaked just right, make sure to save your settings.

To load an embedded Rig setting from within the Eleven Rack Control Window: 1 Open the Eleven Rack Control window by clicking Window > Eleven Rack. 2 Click the Rig Settings menu. 3 Any regions with embedded Rig data will show up as a list at the bottom of the menu. 4 The Rig is loaded into Eleven Rack and is ready to use. Choosing a region from the RIg Settings menu Once you have retrieved a Rig setting from a region, you may want to save it to your computer or the Eleven Rack memory.
Re-Amping (Eleven Rack as Pro Tools Interface Only) This section describes the Re-Amping process when using Eleven Rack as your Pro Tools audio interface. Re-Amping is the process of sending pre-recorded audio (in this case, from within Pro Tools,) to an external guitar amplifier or effects unit, and then re-recording the processed audio to a new track.
• If re-amping through a guitar-level stompbox or processor, select Interface > Guitar In. • If re-amping through a processor with a line-level output, select Interface > Line Input L. 4 Set up and connect your chosen external amp and microphone and/or processor to the Output To Amp 1 (L) output and the appropriate input on Eleven Rack. • If using the mic input, ensure that the gain and other settings (such as phantom power and pad) are set correctly.

Rig Input Cabinet Resonance This setting lets you specify which input on Eleven Rack will be routed through the Rig. This can be set to any of the analog or digital inputs on Eleven Rack, or the signal sent to the Re-Amp output in Pro Tools. Part of what's captured in the speaker cabinet emulation of Eleven Rack is the acoustical nature that a cabinet will resonate when driven by an amplifier. For more information on Re-Amping, see “Re-Amping” on page 86.
Rig Output The fully processed signal, run through every part of the current Rig (including cab and mic emulation). Clock Source Lets you choose between the following clock sources: Rig Out No Cab The fully processed signal, with the Cab model automatically bypassed. • Int 48 kHz (Internal clock) When either Output to Amp is set to Rig Output or Rig Out No Cab, the other will be set to the same setting.
Split In/Out The left and right Rig outputs are summed and sent to the left digital output, and the signal as present at the Rig input (the “dry” signal) is sent to the right digital output. CC When engaged, front-panel control changes will send corresponding MIDI CC messages to Pro Tools, and be output through the MIDI output jack. FX Loop Rig Balancing The FX Loop screen is where you control the mono/stereo behavior of the FX loop.
Knob Display/Action Headphone Volume This screen lets you configure the way knob settings are displayed onscreen, and how they act. This control sets the volume of the Headphone outputs on Eleven Rack, as an offset from the Main output volume. Display This control lets you see the current positions of the control knobs as either graphic knobs or as numeric values.
Volume Control MIDI CC Reference In this screen, use the lit control knob to choose which output volume is controlled by the Volume knob on the front panel of Eleven Rack. This screen contains a chart of all MIDI continuous controllers that are assigned to controls in Eleven Rack. This is useful when setting MIDI controllers when you don’t have a copy of the manual handy. The choices are as follows: • Main Outputs (default setting) • Output to Amp 1 Scroll up and down the list with the Scroll Wheel.
