Phones
Element has two touch-sensitive volume control sliders, one for each headphone output.
Blend
This touch-sensitive slider sets the blend between the main input (Instrument/Amp in) and the backing track (Bluetooth/Aux in) for the headphone out mix.
USB
One USB-C port for recording class-compliant USB audio, transferring impulse responses and performing firmware updates.
Aux in
You can connect the line/headphone out of your laptop, keyboard, mixer, etc. into the 1/8" aux input.
Darkglass Suite app (macOS, Windows, iOS, Android)
Darkglass Suite is a free application for desktop and mobile platforms that unlocks extra features on Element, such as two different types of graphic EQs, tube power amp simulations and access to a growing library of high-quality IR cabinet simulations. The desktop version also enables firmware updates and loading your own 3rd party cabinet simulations.
USB-C audio interface
Record your ideas wherever you are by connecting Element to your Mac or PC (no drivers needed on macOS). The instrument input records on two tracks, one with cabinet simulation and one without any effects. Recording of stereo sources is also possible via the aux in. Independent mixes can be sent to the two headphone outputs from your favorite DAW.
Connections
One USB-C port for the audio interface feature, transferring impulse responses and firmware updates. XLR output for connecting directly into an external audio interface, PA system, etc.
Element with pedalboard
Connect your instrument to your pedalboard as you normally would and add Element at the end of the signal chain; you can then choose the impulse responses in slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From here, the signal is passed through to the XLR output and also through the blend and volume controls to the headphone outputs.
Element with amp and speaker cabinet
Element does not act as a loadbox. Always make sure your amplifier is connected to a suitable load.
Element is built to work with amplifiers with a maximum output of 900W. For the safest operation, connect Element after your speaker cabinet from your speaker cabinet's parallel output connector; you can then choose the impulse responses in slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From here, the signal is passed through to the XLR output and also through the blend and volume controls to the headphone outputs.
If the amplifier's maximum output is 100W, Element can be connected between the amplifier and the speaker cabinet; you can then choose the impulse responses in slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From here, the signal is passed through to the XLR output and also through the blend and volume controls to the headphone outputs.
If you're using a Darkglass amplifier with a class D poweramp, you have the option to connect the amplifier straight to Element without using a speaker cabinet or an external load; you can then choose the impulse responses in slots 1-5 or the bypass signal. From here, the signal is passed through to the XLR output and also through the blend and volume controls to the headphone outputs.
