Chapter 3: Exploring Rigs
Overview
Eleven Rack is a powerful guitar signal processor
that delivers tones from a wide variety of ampli-
fiers, 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 re-
ally comes into play when you create your own.
You can audition, manage, edit and create Rigs
from the front panel of Eleven Rack. When us-
ing Eleven Rack with Pro Tools, the built-in
Eleven Rack Control window offers another
convenient way to do this work.
Rig Input
The Amp/Effects processor inside Eleven Rack
can process one input signal at a time. To hear
your audio when using Eleven Rack as a stand-
alone signal processor, you must set the Rig In-
put User Option to the input you plan to use
(such as Guitar, Mic, or Line).
To set the Rig Input User Option to match your
input type:
1 Hold the Edit/Back button for one second to
enter User Options Mode.
2 Scroll to Rig Input using the Scroll wheel.
3 Press SW1 to enter the Rig Input User Option.
4 Use the illuminated Control knob to set the
input to the type you want to run through the
current Rig.
5 Press the Edit/Back button twice to return to
your previous view.
Rig Input and Pro Tools
When using Eleven Rack as an audio interface
with Pro Tools, all of the inputs on Eleven Rack,
as well as the output of the Rig, are available as
separate channels for recording.
The Rig Input setting is then used to choose
which input channel is processed by the Rig.
That input’s dry signal is still available for re-
cording separately.
For details on working with Rigs from
within Pro Tools, see “The Eleven Rack
Control Window” on page 74.
