Welcome sparkysimes!

Your post was a nice stroll down memory lane for me, thanks to you mentioning the Lexicon Vortex and the Quadraverb. Two mainstays in my recording rack before Eleven Rack.

I have three variations of the Quadraverb including the GT, from the days when you needed a separate rack effect for each effect in a mix.

I hooked up my Quadraverb GT for the first time in about 15 to years to see how it sounded compared to later modeling devices (POD, 11R). I was actually surprised how good it sounded, despite bad reviews online.

The effects were good to my ears, though the distortion in the GT left a LOT to be desired. But that highly polished rack sound heard on so many pop records from the 80's and 90's is certainly within its reach.

As for the Vortex, I seem to recall buying very inexpensively as I don't know that it ever caught on. From my recollection I didn't use it much.

Welcome
I would like to see some pix!!!
and enjoy your welcome package

1.whats your name? Michael

2.where do you live? Charlotte, NC

3.what kinda music you into, and or play? Hard Rock, Metal, Djent, Progressive Metal, Acoustic

4.You in a band or just jamming with friends? I was in a band for ten years. We were signed to a major, toured with a lot of great bands, and I had a lot of fun. I had to sacrifice other things (delay college, not play college football, get a late start on the real world after it was over, etc.), but I wouldn't trade it for anything. As for now, I'm trying to make the best music I'm capable of in my home studio. I'm finally getting around to recording all of the lost songs and the songs that didn't make the cut in the past.

5.Whats your most wanted gear [that you don't have yet]? I'd give my left foot for the new Ibanez JEM77P that I've seen advertised for the 2015 NAMM. I would also like to get my hands on a Tosin Abasi 8 String, or the Ibanez Jake Bowen.

I'm also dying to try the Kemper Profiler processors. I like the Eleven Rack, a lot, but it constantly sounds like there's a ground loop issue, making many patches useless.

6 What is your oldest piece of gear? My oldest piece is my first guitar: A $99 Harmony guitar that that I received for my 9th birthday in 1987.

7.What is your most used or favorite guitar you have? My Ibanez S770, following closely by my Ibanez RG 450 DX that I upgraded with DiMarzio Evolutions.

8.Recording gear and or software? Pro Tools 10.3.9, Reason 7, Michael Joly Hulk mic, Rode NT1, Shure SM57, Neumann KM 184, Eleven Rack, Line 6, Presonus Eureka, ART Pro VLA II, DBX 166, Mackie MR6mk3 monitors. Seagull Natural Elements Acoustic, Peavey, ESP, Epiphone and Ibanez electric guitars.

9.Other gear worth a mention? Autotune and Melodyne... when I can't find vocalists and I have to settle.

10.the day you got it home what was your first impression of the 11 rack and what do you think now? I'm just now learning to use it, and I'm struggling with re-amping settings, dialing in my perfect tones, and a noisy ground loop sounding buzz on some patches. I'd love it if I could solve the noise issue.

No disposable funds attm. I have been looking, wife knows I'm looking, LOL. Really need to sell off some of my (non-music) stuff and horde the money for another 11R and wireless.

@jaminjimlp... How do I post pics? I'll gladly share. And, the band was Third Degree, which later was changed to Headsick (after members left and there was an ancient band that still held the rights to that name).
