Mono/Stereo Operation

Mono/stereo operation, for both the Main Output and Headphone Output, is determined by

whether or not a plug is connected to the 1/4" Main Output jack. If a plug is connected to this

jack, all outputs are automatically conﬁgured for mono operation, just plug in your amp and play.

If no plug is connected to the 1/4" Main Output jack, the outputs default to stereo operation

for headphone use. The 1/4” Main Output can be forced to operate in stereo when you need

to connect the Main Output to a stereo destination, such as a pair of ampliﬁers, a mixer, or a

recording device.

To conﬁgure the 1/4" Main Output for stereo operation:

1. Start with the power cable disconnected (unit powered down).

2. Press and hold the FX BANK button while connecting the power cable. Keep the FX BANK

button held down until the display reads

StErEo On, then release the button. The 1/4” Main

Output is now conﬁgured for stereo (TRS) operation.

3. To conﬁgure the 1/4” Main Output back to mono operation, follow the same steps above

and wait for the display to read

StErEo oFf.

Speaker Cabinet Compensation (SCC)

The Element Series processors are designed to allow you to play your guitar even if you don't

have an ampliﬁer. The built-in Speaker Cabinet Compensation (SCC) feature is what makes this

possible. If you've ever listened to a direct guitar signal (using no guitar ampliﬁer) then you know

how thin and unnatural it can sound. SCC emulates the frequency response of a guitar speaker

cabinet, providing the much more pleasant tone which a guitar cabinet reproduces. Use SCC

when connecting to headphones, directly to a mixer, or directly to a recording device.

SCC is automatically enabled when only headphones are connected to the Headphone Output

(and no cable is connected to the 1/4" Main Output). If a cable is connected to the Main Output,

SCC is defeated, both in the Headphone Output and Main Output. You must enable the SCC

feature on the Main Output manually if you wish to connect directly to a recording interface or

mixer.

To enable Speaker Cabinet Compensation on the Main Output:

1. Disconnect the power cord from the Element/Element XP processor (unit powered off).

2. Press and hold the TONE BANK button while connecting the power cord. Keep the TONE

BANK

button held down until the display reads CabInEt On, then release the button.
