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.,
PH for 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 available Mod FX options.

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.
