Blending Eleven Cabinets
and Amps
You can use Eleven for multi-cabinet and multi-
amp setups so you can blend their signals to-
gether. This classic technique lets you get tones
that no single combo, cabinet, or amp could pro-
duce. Unlike working with real amps, this is
simple to achieve with Pro Tools track, signal
routing, and plug-in features.
Blending Eleven Cabinets
In this example you’ll see how to take the output
of one Eleven amp and send it to multiple cabi-
nets so you can blend different cabinets, multi-
mic one cabinet, or both.
To blend multiple cabinets:
1 Choose Tracks > New.
2 Configure the New Tracks dialog as follows:
•Create one mono Audio Track.
•Click the
Add Row button.
• Create three mono Aux Inputs.
•Click
Create.
3 In the Mix or Edit window, configure the audio
track by doing the following:
• Click the audio track Input selector and
choose your guitar input (the audio inter-
face input your guitar is plugged in to).
• Click the Output selector and choose
Bus 1.
• Click the Insert selector and select
Eleven.
4 Select all three Aux Input tracks by Shift-click-
ing their
Track Name displays (make sure your
audio track isn’t still selected). This lets you
work with the three Aux tracks “as one” in the
next few steps.
5 Hold Option+Shift (Mac) or Alt+Shift (Win-
dows) while doing each of the following:
•Choose
Bus 1 from the Input selector of any
of the three selected Aux Inputs.

and select
Eleven.

any of three selected Aux Inputs and select
the
TimeAdjuster (short) plug-in.

and click the
