You will still want to monitor the input signal though so you will have to set the source for the HP out to HP in the cue outputs menu in Console and turn up the send for the cue in the input channel. This means that you will have to solo the dry guitar track so that only this is sent to the mon outs.Īlso the mic signal in Console will be sent to the monitor outs again which will cause feedback so you will have to mute the input channel in Console. Using Arrow's mon out to connect to the reamping box leads to any signal that is sent out of the DAW for monitoring also being sent to the reamping box. It can be done the way you put it in your drawing but there are a couple of things that you need to look out for in this case. Since Arrow only has two line outputs that are for the monitors it is not really designed to be used for such a purpose. Seems fine to me at first glance, though I really would like to see Matt's guide. IMO, the AxeFX is in a different league than the 11R when it comes to tone.I just received an e-mail response from UAD Support regarding reamping through the Arrow, I'm interested to know of this forum's opinion on their response. It's all going to come down to how you feel about your tone. If you're recording or playing for lots of people, 99.9% of them won't notice or care. So, to maximize your tonal experience, I recommend considering the purchase of some Redwirez (anywhere from $10-$55, depending on your needs).Īlternatively, the 11R would be quite adequate for the masses. You can load 10 of them into the AxeFX for use. I had tried the Redwirez IRs in my DAW, and they rock balls. I was not impressed with either the 11R or the AxeFX's stock cab sims (although, there were more options that I did not try in the AxeFX). Other issues to consider are cab/mic sims. IMO, that alone makes it worth the extra $600 (new vs new) for a standard. Whatever causes that sound in these units is not present in the AxeFX, and if it is, it's hard to detect. Nevertheless, the Line6 stuff has a hollow, sterile character to it that cannot be dialed out.and so does the 11R. When it's all said and done, tone is what matters. I give flexibility and options to the AxeFX. I give simplicity and amp feel to the 11R. It's brand new so we'll see how soon they offer updates.Ĭlick to expand.There is no amount of stuff you'll do in the 11R that can't be matched in the AxeFX before it runs out of room.just as a comparison of units. FWIW In talking to Sean Halley(the Digi guy that did the Youtube Vids) last Friday, there are going to be firmware updates- more amp, cab and mic models coming. And I dig the sounds both direct and into a tube power amp. Recorded though, this box sounds excellent. Yes, the 11R is limited in it's speaker cab and mic options but I think what they did include sounds excellent. I guess I'm lucky in that I don't need 1000's of speaker/mic combos. It pushes back when it's supposed to and it gives when it's supposed to.ĭirect sound is excellent on both units. The 11R to me feels like I'm plugged into my amps. I also felt the Axe felt like a modeller. The 11R presets all pretty much suck so I created some from scratch- It was easy and quick. The Axe's FX are more detailed but the 11R FX sound great and are easy to use.

The Axe has some great sounds, but they weren't particularly easy to get. I had an AXEFX on loan for a couple weeks and compared it to the 11R.
