I still have an Eleven Rack in my live rig rack as a backup unit. I also have one in my studio in one of the racks as well. Both of these units work great and sound good enough even today if they are needed to replace our main units if they go down. Eleven Rack rigs can be loaded into the Headrush units if they are imported correctly…so the same rig can be loaded into each unit (as long as one is careful to use the same amps, cabs and effects which are available on both units) which will allow one to compare the quality of the tones. In my opinion, the Eleven Rack tones and the Headrush tones, programmed with the same rig, are only slightly different…with the Headrush tone being slightly more realistic. However, my Fractal Axe-FX III Turbo produces tones in a league far beyond both the Eleven Rack or the Headrush Pedalboard.
Yeah I had tried the Gigboard twice and the MX5 once. It's cool but can't compete with the Axe FX 3. I like the concept, but to really compete, they really need to expand the amp/effect models, open up the signal path a bit (fixed layouts are annoying), and make a computer editor.
