Master Section - ELEVEN Free Manual

Master Section

The Master section includes plug-in I/O (in-
put/output) and noise gate controls, the
Amp Type selector and the Cab Type selector.
The Master section doesn't change when you
switch amps. Master section settings are stored
and recalled with plug-in presets.

Input LED
The Input LED shows green, yellow, orange, or
red to indicate whether you are under- or over-
driving the plug-in. The Input LED is before the
Input section of the Master section. To learn
more about the Input LED within the Eleven sig-
nal chain, see "Eleven Free Signal Flow" on
page 26.
Input
The Input knob provides input trim/boost, for
tone and distortion control. The Input range is
–18 dB to +18 dB.
The Input knob provides a great way to increase
or decrease gain with amp models that don't
have a separate preamp control. It also provides
a way to trim or boost the level of pre-recorded
tracks you want to treat with Eleven Free
It is important to note that the setting of the In-
put knob is saved and restored with Settings files
(presets).
To learn more about the Input control, see
"Eleven Free Signal Flow" on page 26

Output
The Output control sets the output gain after
processing, letting you make up gain or prevent
clipping on the channel where the plug-in is be-
ing used. Output range is –60 dB to +18 dB.
When you want to adjust Eleven Free's out-
put level, use the Output knob. For tone/dis-
tortion, use the amp Master volume.
Gate
Noise Gate Threshold
The Noise Gate Threshold control sets the level
at which the Noise Gate opens or closes. At min-
imum Threshold setting, the Noise Gate has no
effect. At higher Threshold settings, only louder
signals will open the Gate and pass sound.
Threshold range is from Off (–90 dB) to –20 dB.
Noise Gate Release
The Noise Gate Release control sets the length of
time the Noise Gate remains open and passing
audio. Adjust the Release to find the best setting
for the current task (not too fast to avoid cutting
off notes, and not too slow to avoid unwanted
noise). Release range is from 10 ms to 3000 ms.
For suggested gate applications, see "Using
the Noise Gate" on page 17. For details on
where it derives its key (trigger) and applies
its gate, see "Eleven Free Signal Flow" on
page 26.
Amp Type
Amp Type selects which amplifier model to use
(see "Amp Types" on page 17).
