A new and improved POD?

I think you should get one and give us a detailed report...  ;)

I've been playing around with the Eleven plug in (I posted a clip in the making music section). As a plug in, it does a pretty good job, I really like the cabinet models. The product is, IMO a much better product than anything Line 6 has put out.
Having said that , I don't think I would buy it and ditch my Rivera.

i think its a neat idea.. put a VST in hardware rack..

but i have an axe fx nothing is going to top that anytime soon.
If I ever get another modeler, it will be an Axe FX I think (whichever is the latest and greatest).  Right now, I'm pretty happy with tubes, tubes and more tubes along with my G-Force for effects. :)

Is there anything the Eleven does that the Axe FX doesn't?
The sample recordings on the site sound really good.  Oh oh, GAS....fuck....
how much?

Holy crap!  Yeah, THAT's a great price point for this economy.  NOT!  :-?
It's $899--actual price-- in the US too.  Wonder why it's so much in UK?  Are you looking at "suggested retail" or actual prices?

However, if you already have a pro tools rig, why is this any better than the Eleven plug-in?  It has some nice I/O options... but it wouldn't compel me to blow that kind of cash... that's too much money for what is basically a 4 in/4 out interface, with no mic pres.  M-Audio's 2626 is around half the price, with 8 mic pres, phantom power, and 18 inputs to pro tools.
£899 was a price that I found a couple of sites selling it for. I'll take another look in the morning (nearly 1 am here) and see if I can find it cheaper.  The only problem I have found with amp simulator plugins is that I have never been able to get any of them on any pc to play "live", the latency is just too much.
Sounds like a modeler to me. According to the tone samples they put up anyways.

There is nothing that suits my taste more than a good tube distortion stomp along with a nice clean tube (all tube) amp, or a nice all tube amp with a separate channel for distortions.

I still use my GNX2, and that sounds as decent as any modeler I have ever tweaked. And it is OK mind you but nowhere near the tone of my good old tube stuff.
