EQ
The 3-band EQ lets you further shape the tone of each preset. Each EQ band is identified with
a pair of letters (e.g.,
bA represents the bass band) and has nine settings (i.e., 1-9). Settings 1-4
represent EQ cut (
1 = 12dB cut, 2 = 9dB cut, 3 = 6dB cut, 4 = 3dB cut). Settings 6-9 represent
EQ boost (
6 = 3dB boost, 7 = 6dB boost, 8 = 9dB boost, 9 = 12dB boost). A setting of 5
represents no cut or boost (flat). The following table shows the available EQ options.

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 1 being the lowest threshold and 9 being
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.
