The user interface of Amped Elektra is divided into two pages: Instrument and Effects. Instrument Page The Instrument page gives you control over all parameters that affect the sound of the instrument.

You can use the clean, unprocessed signal or choose between three re-amped signals that were recorded in parallel. The amplifiers were selected carefully to create a wide spectrum of sound colors for all different kinds of music genres. Delivers the clean, unprocessed sound from the instrument. On/Off Activates/Deactivates the signal. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

Level Sets the level of the signal. NOTE The Level setting determines how pronounced the Bark, Release, and Pedal sounds for that signal are in the overall sound. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

Here, the signal was re-amped using another well-known tube amplifier from the 1970s. Its sound is captured with a tube-condenser microphone. This is the signal with the brightest sound. On/Off Activates/Deactivates the signal. Solo Solos the signal. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

Instrument page. You can add up to four effects. The signal travels through the effects in the order in which they are arranged on this page, from left to right. RELATED LINKS Available Effects on page 9 Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

On the effects menus for the four effect slots, you can choose between the available effects. Each effect can only be used once in the effect chain. Once an effect is selected, it is removed from the effects menu for the other effect slots. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

Sets the amount of cut or boost for the high frequency band. The center frequency for this band is 5000 Hz. Chorus This effect thickens and broadens the sound by means of pitch modulation. On/Off Activates/Deactivates the effect. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

Adds resonances to the effect. This allows for jet-like sweeps of the sound. Tone Adjusts the tone color of the feedback. At lower values, the feedback is less bright. Sets the ratio between the dry and the wet signal. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

Widens the sound image of the effect from mono to stereo. High Cut Attenuates the high frequencies. Sets the ratio between the dry and the wet signal. Tremolo This effect produces amplitude modulation, that is, cyclic modulation of the level of the sound. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

High-pass filter with 6 dB/oct. Frequencies below the cutoff are attenuated. Low-Pass Cutoff Low-pass filter with 6 dB/oct. Frequencies above the cutoff are attenuated. Distortion Adds distortion to the signal. Sets the ratio between the dry and the wet signal. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

2 dB. If the amplitude is 8 dB above the threshold, the output is lowered by 4 dB. Input Determines the compression amount. The higher the input gain, the more compression is applied. Output Sets the output gain. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

0.5 means that the amount is half the overall feedback. ● To offset the left feedback, turn the control to the left. ● To offset the right feedback, turn the control to the right. High Freq Attenuates the high frequencies of the delays. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

Controls the reverb time. At a setting of 100 %, the impulse response is applied with its original length. Sets the ratio between the dry and the wet signal. Ring Modulator This effect provides a sine oscillator that is multiplied with the input signal. This creates metallic, or bell-like, frequencies. Amped Elektra 1.0.0...

This effect emulates the well-known analog pedal effect. On/Off Activates/Deactivates the effect. Mode Allows you to choose between three predefined modes with different characteristics for the effect. Depth Determines the intensity of the effect. Distortion Adds distortion to the signal.
