The Eleven Rack - Strat Clean And Dirty Tones Demo

[SplatterGuitar]

Very cool sound! :-)

[iwishicouldplaygtr]

It sucks I'm allowed to give just one thumb up!!!!

[iwishicouldplaygtr]

I'd hate to piss all axepensive modeler users but having both I prefer 11R (disclaimer - I'm into old school amps and effects).

Great Demo!!!

[Thepedalmaster]

8:18 what are you playing ? Bad ass video btw

[YtseMule]

Awsome tones - (as always)! I'll be downloading this rig tonight. The Expansion pack makes the rig.

[Milford555]

Beautiful!! I too Love my Expansion Packed Eleven Rack and have an absolute blast using it.

[vaisatchatrucci]

@Milford555 Isn't it the best!? I LOVE it too man - It really took the 11R to another whole level for me and REALLY solidified it as my main live rig not that I needed any further justification mind you! LMAO!

[rastachild7]

wow, fantastic demo as usual. i wonder how many eleven racks you've sold at this point :)

[vaisatchatrucci]

@rastachild7 Thanks buddy :-) I wish I knew! At least 1 or 2 I think! ;-) LMAO! I get emails literally every day telling me "I just got the eleven rack" so there's no telling but ut has to be a bunch!

[kingofthebrittains]

@vaisatchatrucci Hey long time no see. Thanks for the video man, you sound great as usual. I absolutely L-O-V-E the clean tones on my 11R, especially in stereo, so IDK why some folks are talking jive about. I can't wait to get the exp pack, especially for the Bogners in there. I'm a huge Jerry Cantrell tone junkie. BTW, your comparison of the Road King and the 11R was the deciding factor in me getting mine, so you deserve some royalties innit?

[fredjoan]

BEAUTIFUL TONE DUDE



[vaisatchatrucci]

@fredjoan Thanks so much bro! :-)

[fredjoan]

AMAZINGGGG



[vaisatchatrucci]

@fredjoan You RAWWWWWWWWK! :-) thanks brothah!

[HattanDT]

that was really awesome mate!! enjoyed your other videos as well, really inspiring stuff! I just received my eleven rack today, i know it's a stupid question, but how do I upload presets from 11R forum to my eleven rack? via USB? I'm using mac book

cheers mate

[vaisatchatrucci]

@HattanDT Thanks brother! :-) Yeah you need to install protools to be able to upload them via USB through the 11R on-screen editor available only via protools.

[HattanDT]

@vaisatchatrucci thanx alot bro, really appreciate your help. today i got a USB hub and finally managed to solve the mac USB hub issue and got PT10 and 11R working at the same time.

thanx again and keep posting videos, you are one of the reasons I got the 11R

keep rockin' \m/

[vaisatchatrucci]

@HattanDT My pleasure man - thanks I appreciate hearing that! :-)

[mrchrisbeaver]

yet another cool video from ya. great tones and awsome playing bro :)

[vaisatchatrucci]

@mrchrisbeaver Thanks brother! :-) Coming from you that's a huge compliment so thank you for that! :-)

[popstotexas]

Sounds cool bro! Nice SRV licks

[vaisatchatrucci]

@popstotexas Thanks bruddah! Always great to hear from you as always! Hope you're doing well!

[NoManStranger]

Wow - awesome job on the tones, and thumbs up for sharing your hard work! I just tried the preset from 11RP and it only worked on headphones, not through my amp. Is there something I needed to do?

[vaisatchatrucci]

@NoManStranger Thanks brother! : -) How do you mean exactly? Like it sounded bad through your amp or you got no signal through your amp?

[NoManStranger]

@vaisatchatrucci - Got it figured out - the "Output to Amp 1 and 2" were muted in the preset. Got it now, and this taught me how to tweak the 11R Rig on the unit instead of relying on the screen in Pro Tools. Thanks again!

[squashedmike]

Sounds great! I enjoyed your playing too :)

[vaisatchatrucci]

@squashedmike Thank you very much! Glad you dug it!

[fayser1]

Lovely.. just lovely... May I ask... what is your reverb setting around 11 mins .. sounds just fabulous... I cant seem to get rid of that metallic sound resonance and have it pure like you have... appreciate a settings description or perhaps a patch upload to elevenrackpresets if you get a chance... Thanks

[vaisatchatrucci]

@fayser1 Thank you! I think it's just a cathedral reverb - you can download the preset from the elevenrackpresets site and though it's not set to that, just change the current setting to that, increase the decay and the mix and you'll have it!

[fayser1]

@vaisatchatrucci thanks man....

[msabaseball1293]

Just saw the patch show up on the forums. YES. Thanks man

[vaisatchatrucci]

@msabaseball1293 You betcha! Sorry I kept forgetting to upload it! Better late than never! Which could have been a distinct possibility had nobody asked! LMAO!

[msabaseball1293]

@vaisatchatrucci Haha its all good. I've been using my PlimSoul lately to try to get a good SRV tone through my Eleven. But now I'm looking at a Two Rock Studio Pro 35 head, but of course I'll be holding onto my Eleven Rack. Is it possible to use the "Guitar to amp" feature on the Eleven with the Two Rock?

[vaisatchatrucci]

@msabaseball1293 You mean the output to amp I am guessing? If so, then yeah it should work fine in that capacity as long as it has an effects loop.

[msabaseball1293]

@vaisatchatrucci Alright thanks man. Haha I am so lost when it comes to effects loops, but I'll see if I can figure it out

[fernandosantucci]

An impressive touch to shut up those who say that the Eleven Rack only makes a good sound with distortion. The clean tones are perfect and beautiful.

[vaisatchatrucci]

@fernandosantucci Thanks bud! Yeah I was blown away by how many people that have returned the Eleven Rack had the excuse that it couldn't produce a good clean tone...? So that was the main reason for this video.

[MyxHarnett]

Woah dude, it HAS been a long time, and this video reminded me that we were gonna do a cyber jam months ago but I forgot! Dude please forgive me! If you still wanna do one than just say so, it'd be an honor! Again I'm really sorry, I just completely forgot!

Also great playing as always man, that Eleven Rack sounds awesome!

[vaisatchatrucci]

@MyxHarnett Dude you and me both! I totally forgot! Yeah I'd still love to do that if you're still up for it - I obviously can't hang with you technically cause you're a friggin' STUD on guitar! Good Lord son! :-) but I am up for whatever you're into! Thanks buddy - good to hear from you and keep in touch on that - I think it would be great fun and an honor for ME to play with YOU - lets get THAT straight! LMAO :-) thanks brother :-)

[reincaster]

AWESOME! I do have a question though, how do you record your vids/audio? Seems like a mix between a direct recording and the camera? Or is it all the camera?

[vaisatchatrucci]

@reincaster I record the camera and protools at the same time, then cut out the camera audio when I am not talking... (using Final Cut) and so sometimes you hear some of the monitor signal when I cut back in with the camera audio because of the ambience in the room... It sounds REALLY good just with the cam mic actually and brighter of course but its a bright room.

[harmonic12th]

Good to see you back brother!!! As usual great playing and, maybe more to the point of the video, great tone. I hope we don't have to wait as long for the next video!! Take it easy...

[vaisatchatrucci]

@harmonic12th Good to BE back! and hope I can get more back into it sooner than later! Thanks man I really appreciate it and it's brothers like you that keep me motivated to keep doing it and making it fun for me so thank you. :-)

[FergusVickersGuitar]

Solitude at 10:39 what a great song! great playing as usual!

[vaisatchatrucci]

@FergusVickersGuitar Thanks man I appreciate you checking it out! :-)

[FergusVickersGuitar]

@vaisatchatrucci youve made me want an eleven rack ;)

[vaisatchatrucci]

@FergusVickersGuitar That's the idea! :-) Now if I could just get paid a commission... hmmm... LMAO :-)

[FergusVickersGuitar]

@vaisatchatrucci ahahahaha :)

[louie180]

wow, that's a nice tattoo. Is it new?

[vaisatchatrucci]

@louie180 Thanks man - no its about 2 years old, but s work in progress... Its only half done... ugh... 120 hours in it so far... needless to say its not done because I'm BROKE! haha

[udamann88]

VSA YOU are my #1 favorite musician to watch & learn from.......You make me laugh & I just love what a humble person that you are.......What a great example bro........Oh & the you can "Rock it like a Hurricane" doesn't hurt things either.......Your #1 stalker.......X-Mann

[vaisatchatrucci]

@udamann88 Ich leibe du! (thats so nobody thinks we're like you know... "funny" cause nobody will ever think to translate german to english and figure out that mean "I love you!" in english! ! I mean how brilliant am I?! HA! NOBODY WILL EVER KN...oh wait... crap... uh... Yeah so what I mean was - yeah cool dog, I appreciate that man... I gotta go lift really heavy weights now but first I gotta go chop some wood and stuff but before that I gotta go chew on some galvanized nails. Peace out brah!

[Muggwhumpp]

Dude, you NEVER disappoint; I always look forward to your videos/music.

[vaisatchatrucci]

@Muggwhumpp I don't need that kind of pressure man! LMAO :-) haha Thanks man truly that's so nice of you to say and I am THRILLED you enjoy them as that's my goal! Appreciate you very much.

[5150tt]

Caught the MJ lick. Nice.

[vaisatchatrucci]

@5150tt :-) I love that song...

[5150tt]

That U2/Edge preset uploaded to elevenrackpresets? I have been trying to figure out the delay scheme forever and just can't nail it but you did. Can you link?

Oh and yeah tasty playing hoss!

[vaisatchatrucci]

@5150tt Thanks buddy! Yeah i am about to post it... it's called "VSA FAT STRAT' and you'll need the expansion pack just FYI...

[5150tt]

@vaisatchatrucci Oh I haz it since day one brudda!

[vaisatchatrucci]

@5150tt Ah yes! See! Great minds think alike! :-)

[bryngwynbach]

Cant find the preset!!!!!! Help me someone :-))))

[vaisatchatrucci]

@bryngwynbach Whoops...! I'm posting it NOW I promise!!! well 10-15 minutes...

[MarshallGoPro]

@vaisatchatrucci Sweet and thanks again...superb tone and playing :-)

[vaisatchatrucci]

@MarshallGoPro You're welcome! Thanks buddy :-)

[gerryguitar]

fantastic demo, beautiful tones, beautiful strat.

[vaisatchatrucci]

@gerryguitar Thanks man! I love your Tyler strat too BTW - AND the Tonefreak sounds KILLER...!!!

[LerxstFan2112]

Great job Andrew - a little funky, a little twangy, and all good:) Great tones and playing. The 11R does it all (for me) - from the cleanest of cleans to super heavy and all things in between. Thanks for showing off some of the diverse clean sounds.

[vaisatchatrucci]

@LerxstFan2112 Thanks brother! Loved your 2x12 video BTW - GREAT tones and playing man - I enjoyed that a LOT! post MORE! See you around!

[Whyrendog]

Beautiful sounds and playing! Great job Andrew!

[vaisatchatrucci]

@Whyrendog Thanks brosephus! :-) appreciate it!

[Vladotubular]

Awesome sound, awesome playing! :-)

[vaisatchatrucci]

@Vladotubular Thanks brother! :)

[Guitarjammers01]

Great tone and playing Andy. Always love watching your videos. Rgds Andy

[vaisatchatrucci]

@Guitarjammers01 Thanks brother! I appreciate it! Same goes here LOVE the Motherload live band video of yours. That tele sounds bad ass and your playing is groovaliscious. :-) You MUST post more... It's not a threat, but it can become one - I'm just throwing that out there... LMAO ;-)

[captainkjub]

amazing tones, been waiting a lot for your new video. cheers

[vaisatchatrucci]

@captainkjub Thanks so much! I appreciate your support and for checkin' em out! :-)

[knikk77]

Axe II has better effects, but the preamp section in the 11rack is better than axe II

[vaisatchatrucci]

@knikk77 Yeah there's no denying the Axe smokes the Eleven Rack FX wise... I have played a standard side by side just pure amp tones and the Axe was no better nor any worse than the Eleven Rack which was GREAT because it got rid of my G.A.S. to buy one! :-) I just don't use all those FX to warrant it but it's a great piece of gear no doubt...

[knikk77]

I have found Eleven Rack to have great clean tone!! Especially the tweed bassman model.

[vaisatchatrucci]

@knikk77 YES! Thats what always kills me when I read posts about why people returned the eleven rack because they couldn't get a good clean tone? That just doesn't make sense, and it's not as if I spent a tremendous amount of time dialing this one in either... Start with a good guitar, good pickups, and the rest is all fingers and ears - it's just not difficult in my opinion...

[dingle1]

Welcome back bro.. This made my Friday morning. Beautiful tone, beautiful playing. Thanks for sharing!

[vaisatchatrucci]

@dingle1 HEY! :-) My pleasure brother! Been a long time I know right?! Thanks so much man - you're such an inspiration to me and I know a ton of other players so I really appreciate that! Thanks for checkin' it out and sayin' hello! Appreciate ya!

[CRANKYONE100]

your back!...awesome tones as usual bro! Funny to see all those Axefx nuts go crazy when the 2 was announced and here you are with a unit which is a 1/3 the price and you make it sound as good, if not better...awesome work...And I do think the right monitors make a huge difference to the end tone. Doing demos SHOULD be your job dude!

[vaisatchatrucci]

@CRANKYONE100 LMAO! I'm BAAAAACK! haha - yeah man it sucks I don't have as much time these days - I LOVE doing these videos because it gives me a chance to focus on playing for a good while! I've been dying to show off my strat too truth be told! LMAO! It was a gift from my Mother for my 40th B-Day... God how I love that woman! :-) Yeah I mean if you can afford the Axe, hey go for it i guess... It's a novel thing to sound like a violin and all but I dunno I just can't justify it!? Thanks bro!

[lopez316us]

Are you going to share the presets with us? ;)

[vaisatchatrucci]

@lopez316us TONIGHT I PROMISE!!! :-) i suck so bad - I did this video like months ago and just edited it and my 11R is packed up from my last "gig" if you will but I am breakin' it out tonight baby! Can't wait! AND I'll pull the preset in from the ProTools track I recorded cause I am REAL bad about naming my presets all the same name but like 1 or 2 at the end then I end up with 10 versions and can't remember which was which - LMAO :-)

[area859]

Great video and Great playing!!

[vaisatchatrucci]

@area859 Thanks very much! :-) appreciate that and for you stoppin by! :-)

[RichardA5150]

Glad to see you back on, Sounds great

[vaisatchatrucci]

@RichardA5150 Thanks Rich - good to see you on here too brother - hope you're doing well! :-)

[Coztomba]

Great Vid, what that you're playing at 10:39 - Sounds so familiar.

[Coztomba]

@Coztomba Answering my own question!  Solitude - Joe Satriani

[vaisatchatrucci]

@Coztomba You got it! Thanks bro! :-)

[kleydj13]

Nice playing man, sounds killer. Have you had any experience with the Line 6 HD lineup? I'd be curious to know how it stacks up to 11R.

[vaisatchatrucci]

@kleydj13 I played the HD at NAMM here, and honestly the FX are cool but I couldn't really offer a fair assessment overall, but if I were to base it on my short experience with it, i didn't like it nearly as much but yet I've heard other clips of guys just friggin KILLIN it so I KNOW it's capable of good tone, i just didn't have the time to mess with it and in all fairness, the Eleven Rack for me wasn't exactly a plug and play and instant glorious tone either so...
