Operation
Modes Explained
There are two modes of operation in the Element/Element XP: Play Mode and Edit Mode.
Preset Number
Play Mode
When the Element/Element XP is powered on, the unit will
be in Play Mode. Play Mode is indicated by the effect LEDs
being lit for the effects which are active in the currently loaded
preset and the currently loaded preset number being displayed
in the LED display. Play Mode is the normal operating mode
and allows you to navigate presets using the SELECT knob or
FOOTSWITCHES.
Lit LEDs Indicate
Enabled Effects
In Preset
Edit Mode
You enter Edit Mode whenever you press the MASTER LEVEL, PRESET LEVEL, TONE BANK, FX
BANK, DRUMS, or EDIT buttons. Edit Mode allows you to adjust the global Master Level, the
Preset Level, select between the differentTone and FX Banks, edit effect and system settings, and
edit the settings for the built-in drums.To exit Edit Mode and return to Play Mode, simply press
either FOOTSWITCH.You can tell you are back in Play Mode when the effect LEDs are lit for the
effects which are active in the currently loaded preset and the currently loaded preset number is
displayed in the LED display.
NOTE: Effect settings changed in Edit Mode will need to be stored to a preset in order to be
retained.The exceptions are the Master Level and drum machine settings, which are global settings and
are not stored to presets.Whenever you change a stored preset’s effect settings, the STORE button
LED will light, indicating the effect settings have been changed from the stored value in the preset. See
"Storing/Copying Presets" on page 17 for further information on storing presets.

Navigating Presets
There are two banks of presets in the Element/Element XP: the user preset bank and the factory
preset bank. From the factory, the user and factory preset banks will contain the same presets.
Therefore, factory preset 45 will be the same as user preset 45 and so on. User presets appear
in the LED display as 1-100and factory presets appear as F1-F00. Preset banks will automatically
round-robin when navigating. In other words, navigating one preset above user preset 100will
select factory preset F1in the factory preset bank. Navigating one preset below user preset 1 will
select factory preset F00(factory preset 100) in the factory preset bank.
To navigate presets:
1. From Play Mode, press the UP FOOTSWITCH to navigate up through presets or the DOWN
FOOTSWITCH to navigate down through presets.You can also navigate presets by turning
the SELECT knob.
Editing Presets
The Element Series processors have been engineered to give you more options for shaping your
sounds. Of course you can navigate presets to find sounds which will get you started, and then
edit the effects from there to fine tune your sounds–this is standard operation when using effect
processors. But there is another layer of options available in the Element processors... Banks.
There are two Banks available:Tone Banks and FX Banks. Each of these Banks give you a library of
20 pre-set configurations, allowing you to quickly audition different "tones" without affecting your
"effects" chain or vice versa. Using this "coarse" and "fine" editing environment, you can quickly
experiment with many different sound-shaping options and go only as deep into editing as you
feel comfortable with.

Selecting A Tone Bank
Tone Banks allow you to select from a preset library of 20 different tones.These tones consist of
clean, distortion, and amp tones. Select from a variety of genre-based amp tone defaults ranging
from Blues to Metal to Country. Behind the scenes, the Wah (Element XP only), Compressor,
Amp/Distortion, EQ, and Noise Gate are configured to create a specified tone.You can then
further refine the sound by editing each effect’s settings. Note that changing between different
Tone Banks does not change the Mod FX, Delay, or Reverb settings, as these processing modules
belong to the FX Bank.

Editing Effects
Selecting a preset and/orTone/FX Bank is the fastest and easiest way to achieve the sound your
after. However, if you just can’t seem to quite get the sound you're after it’s time to edit some
effects.
To edit effects:
1. Press either of the EDIT buttons repeatedly until the LED for the effect you wish to edit is lit.
For a list of effect settings, see "The Effects" on page 25.
2. Once you have selected the effect for editing, strum your guitar then turn the SELECT knob
to change the effect settings. Repeat this auditioning process until you find the desired setting.
3. To exit Edit Mode, press either FOOTSWITCH.
NOTE: Effects changed in Edit Mode will need to be stored to a preset in order to be retained.The
exceptions are the Master Level and drum machine settings, which are global settings and are not
presets.
Turning Effects On & Off
The procedure for turning effects on and off is essentially the same as for editing effects.
To turn an effect on or off:
1. Press either of the EDIT buttons repeatedly until the LED for the effect you wish to turn on
or off is lit.
2. Turn the SELECT knob. If the effect is already turned off, turn the SELECT knob to the right
to enable the effect and select between the available options. If the effect is already on and
you wish to turn it off, keep turning the SELECT knob to the left until offis shown in the
LED display.
3. When done, press either FOOTSWITCH to return to Play Mode, indicated by the currently
loaded preset number being displayed in the LED display.
NOTE: Parameters changed in Edit Mode will need to be stored to a preset in order to be retained.
The exceptions are the Master Level and drum machine parameters, which are global parameters and
storing presets.

Storing/Copying Presets
The STORE button is used to save modifications made to a preset’s settings.The STORE button’s
LED will light whenever effect settings have been changed from their stored value, indicating the
changes must be stored to memory to be retained. Preset setting changes must always be stored
to a user preset memory location, since factory presets cannot be overwritten.The Element and
Element XP have 100 user preset memory locations. Factory presets can be accessed at any time,
used as a starting point, edited, then stored to a user preset location.You can also copy a user or
factory preset to any of the available 100 user preset locations.
To quickly store a preset to its current memory location (quick update):
2. Press the STORE button twice. Sdwill be briefly displayed in the LED display, indicating
the preset is being stored.This will store the newly changed effect settings to the currently
loaded preset memory location.
NOTE: If you perform the above quick update procedure on a factory preset, the changes will be
stored to the equivalent user preset memory location. For example, if you load factory preset 5 (f 5),
make edits, and then press the STORE button twice, you will overwrite user preset 5 (5).Therefore,
use caution when performing this procedure on factory presets to ensure you do not accidentally
overwrite one of your existing user presets.
To store an edited preset to a different memory location:
2. Press the STORE button once.The current preset number will begin flashing in the LED
display.
3. Use the SELECT knob to select the user preset memory location at which you would like to
store the user preset (indicated in the display).
4. Press the STORE button again to complete the store procedure. Sdwill be briefly displayed
in the LED display, indicating the preset is being stored.
NOTE: Pressing one of the FOOTSWITCHES or any button (other than the DRUMS button) during
the above procedure will abort the store procedure.

copy.
2. Press the STORE button once.The current preset number will begin flashing in the LED
display.
3. Use the SELECT knob to select the user preset memory location at which you would like to
copy the preset (indicated in the display).
4. Press the STORE button again to complete the copy procedure. Sdwill be briefly displayed in
the LED display, indicating the preset is being stored.
NOTE: Pressing one of the FOOTSWITCHES or any button (other than the DRUMS button) during
the above procedure will abort the store procedure.
Bypassing All Effects
The Element and Element XP offer a global preset bypass feature which bypasses all effects in the
currently loaded preset and feeds only the dry/unprocessed signal to the outputs.
To bypass all effects:
1. Press both FOOTSWITCHES simultaneously.The LED display will read bYP, indicating the
effects are bypassed.
2. Press either FOOTSWITCH to exit the preset bypass function.
Using The Drum Machine
Playing along with the built-in drum machine is a great way to improve your timing skills.The
Element and Element XP give you 45 drum and metronome patterns to choose from and allow
you to adjust the tempo and level of the pattern playback.

Setup
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 CabInEtOn, then release the button.

Speaker Cabinet Compensation is now enabled on all outputs.
NOTE: Once enabled, SCC will remain active only while the unit is powered on.After a power cycle,
the SCC enabling procedure must be performed again if you want SCC to be enabled.
Expression Pedal Calibration (Element XP Only)
The Expression Pedal on the Element XP comes pre-calibrated from the factory. However, in the
event the Expression Pedal does not function properly, it can be re-calibrated using the below
Pedal Calibration procedure.
To calibrate the Element XP Expression Pedal:
1. Press and hold both FOOTSWITCHES simultaneously until PCappears in the LED display.All
effects and button LEDs will be turned off.
2. When tdnappears in the display, rock the EXPRESSION PEDAL forward (toe down) then
press either FOOTSWITCH.
3. When tuPappears in the display, rock the EXPRESSION PEDAL back (toe up) then press
either FOOTSWITCH.
4. If the calibration procedure is successful, the Element XP will return to Play Mode and will be
ready for use. If the calibration procedure fails, Errwill appear in the LED display followed by
tdn. If this happens, repeat steps 2 and 3 until calibration is successful.

The Effects
The Element XP offers 37 different effects with the ability to run 9 effects simultaneously.The
Element offers 31 different effects with the ability to run 8 effects simultaneously. Both provide
12 amp/cabinet models to choose from.The following section describes each of these available
effects and amp/cabinet models.
Wah (Element XP Only)
Wah is an effect controlled by the Expression Pedal and makes the guitar sound as if it’s saying
"Wah."There are three different wah types to choose from in the Element XP as shown in the
below table.

Compressor
A compressor is used to compress the dynamic range of a signal (make the loud signals quieter
and quiet signals louder). In the Element/Element XP processors, the Compressor is used to add
sustain and tighten up the dynamics of the guitar.The Compressor can be adjusted between 1-20
or turned off, as shown in the below table. Lower values represent lighter compression and higher
values represent heavier compression (and more sustain).The Compressor’s threshold and gain
settings are controlled simultaneously when adjusting the Compressor value, making it faster and
easier to set.The Compressor’s ratio is fixed at infinity:1.

Noise Gate
The Element and Element XP offer two noise gate types: Silencer and AutoSwell.
• Silencer Gate (noise reduction)
The Silencer Gate is designed to eliminate noise when you are not playing.The Silencer’s nine
settings (GA1-GA9) determine the threshold, with 1being the lowest threshold and 9being
the highest.This determines how loud a signal must be before it can open the gate and be
heard.The higher the setting, the louder a signal must be in order to open the gate.
• AutoSwell Gate (pluck detector gate)
The AutoSwell Gate creates an automatic volume swell effect.The AutoSwell’s nine settings
(SL1-SL9) determine the attack time (how quickly the volume swell grows from the note or
chord you play).The higher the setting, the slower the swell grows.

Mod FX
The Element/Element XP offer a variety of modulation and pitch effect types to choose from.
Each modulation effect is identified by a pair of letters (e.g., PHfor phaser) and has nine settings
(i.e., 1-9).These settings include a variety of configurations that generally range from a more
subtle effect (lower settings) to a more extreme effect (higher settings).The following table shows

The following section describes each of the available modulation and pitch effect types available in
the Element/Element XP.
• Chorus
The chorus effect adds a short delay to your signal.The delayed signal is modulated in and
out of tune and then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker, more lush sound
which has movement and depth.
• Flanger
The flanger effect uses the same principles as the chorus effect, but uses a shorter delay time
and adds regeneration (or repeats) to the modulating delay.This results in an exaggerated up
and down sweeping motion of the effect.
• Phaser
The phaser effect splits the incoming signal then changes the phasing of the signal.This signal
is then taken in and out of phase and mixed back in with the original signal.As the phasing
changes, different frequencies get canceled resulting in a warm sort of twisting sound.
28
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• Tremolo
The tremolo effect modulates the volume of the signal at an even rate.
• Panner
The panner effect modulates the sound from left to right at an even rate.
• Vibrato
The vibrato effect modulates the pitch of the incoming signal at an even rate.
• Rotary Speaker
The rotary speaker effect is an emulation of a classic Leslie amplifier/speaker which included
a spinning horn and woofer or sound-directing duct.The rotation of these two speakers
or duct produces an interesting combination of the sound panning from side to side.This
produces a slight pitch change due to the speed of the sound coming towards, and then
going away from the listener.This is the same effect you experience when a moving car or
train passes you, the pitch increases as the car or train approaches then decreased as it
travels away.This phenomenon is referred to as the Doppler effect.
• YaYa™ (Element XP Only)
TheYaYa effect combines the characteristics of a wah and a flanger, creating an almost human
vowel characteristic, as if the guitar were saying "Yah."This effect is controlled using the
Expression Pedal.
• AutoYa™
Similar to theYaYa effect described above, the AutoYa effect automatically modulates the
sound at an even rate, so Expression Pedal control is not required.
• Step Filter
The step filter effect is like an automatic "random wah" with a square waveform.
• Envelope Filter
The envelope filter is a dynamic wah effect that alters your sound based upon how hard you
play.
• Detune
The detune effect makes a copy of your incoming signal, makes the copied signal slightly out
of tune from the original, then mixes the two signals together.The result is a doubling type of
effect as if two guitars were playing the same part together, but slightly out of tune with one
another.
• Pitch Shift
The pitch shift effect copies the incoming signal, then shifts the pitch of the copy to a different
note.The shifted note is then mixed back with the original signal, sounding as if two guitars
were playing together, but playing different notes.
• Whammy™ (Element XP Only)
The Whammy effect is a variable pitch shifter.This effect is basically a pitch shifter, but allows
you to vary the amount of pitch shifting with the Expression Pedal, creating a sweepable pitch
shifting effect.

Delay
Delay is an effect that records the incoming signal then plays it back a short time later.The
recorded signal can repeat just once or several times, depending upon the type of delay.The
Element and Element XP offer 4 different delay types:Analog Delay, Digital Delay, Ping Pong
Delay, andTape Delay. Each of these delay types have 5 seconds of delay time available, with the
exception of the Analog Delay which has up to 350ms.
There are two different effect settings used to program the Delay effect in the Element/Element
XP: DelayType and DelayTime.The DelayType setting selects the delay type and varies the
amount of feedback (number of repeats) and level as shown in the following table.
