Completely different animals.  The Model 11 can get mean, no question
about it.  But it can also be 'normal' and when it is, it's a bandpass
filter only, with all the signature timbres that earmark that
configuration.    

I was aware of the fact when I touted the 11 as the answer to the
M12's reputation of not being harsh enough that a misconception  may
surface that the M11 s only the anti-12, meaning it was only capable
of rasp and grunge.  Not true! It's full range, meaning it will act as
merely a treble knob, a normal bandpass all the way through to the
final screams of an army of taradactiles as they're being slaughtered.  

That being said, the 11 is also a vactrol-based filter, so it's timbre
is going to be different than a transconductance amp filter like the
Xtreme.   Personally, I am addicted to vactrol filters, so the chances
of us doing one, unless a re-release of another filter (which will not
rule out), is otherwise pretty slim.  

hope this helps.
