EQ & Compressor Effects
Graphic EQ
Useful for simple frequency sculpting, a good
Graphic EQ can find a place in almost any ped-
alboard. Graphic EQ can wring a variety of tones
out of other pedals, such as when placed before
Distortion effects. The EQ can also be used as a
signal booster when positioned in front of amps.
Gray Comp
Inspired by a well-loved solid-state 70s compres-
sor pedal, Gray Comp can add singing sustain to
leads or lend power and girth to chunky rhythm
guitar parts.
Sustain
Sets the threshold, and thus, the
amount of compression, in the Compressor ef-
fect.
Level
Sets the overall output volume of the ef-
fect.
General Effects Controls
Sync
The time-based effects in Eleven Rack (such as
Chorus, Delay and Flanger) can be set to syn-
chronize with Rig or Session tempo. When the
Sync control on these effects is set to a rhythmic
subdivision of the incoming tempo, the effect
will lock to it. When Sync is set to Off, the Rate
or Delay control on the effect will take over, and
the rate of modulation or delay can be set by
hand.
Delay+ & Fine
These two controls are included in both delay ef-
fects. Delay+ quadruples the available delay
time, for when longer echoes are needed. Fine
switches the delay’s Rate control into a fine-ad-
just mode, where the delay time can be set by
the millisecond with the Scroll wheel. Press Fine
again to return to normal mode.
Don’t Forget to Save!
Remember, when you’ve got things tweaked just
right, make sure to save your settings. If you
switch to a different Rig before saving, you’ll
lose your changes. To simply save the current
state of the Rig you’re working on to the same
Rig memory location, press the Save button,
then press it again.
