Amp Controls
Each Eleven Free amp provides a set of controls similar to (and in some cases identical to) those on the
actual amp it models. The following sections give an overview of amp controls as they appear in
Pro Tools. Keep in mind that not all amp types will show all the controls described in this section.

Amp Bypass
The Amp Bypass switch (or lamp) lets you by-
pass just the amp model, leaving the cab and
mic settings in effect. The default setting is On.
When set to Bypass, only the amp is bypassed;
Master section, cabinet and microphone set-
tings remain active.
Bright
The Bright switch provides extra high frequency
response to the input signal, and alters the tim-

effect is most apparent at lower volume settings.
Gain 1
Gain 1 determines the overall gain amount and
sensitivity of the amp. When Gain 1 is low it al-

Gain 2
Gain 2 is only available on some amps in the full
version of Eleven.
Tone
Tone controls let you shape the highs, mids and
lows of the amp sound. Electric guitar pickups
tend to have a strong low-mid emphasis and lit-
tle high frequency response, often producing a
mid-range heavy sound that requires some tre-
ble boost. The response and interaction of the
tone controls are unique to each amp.
