1 volume control pedal output
1 mix control for metering dry and effect

3 tone controls bass treble mid
2 switches (3 positions) and mid-frequency bass cut switches each with the corresponding control allows you to chop sounds.

By removing the rear of the pedal, you discover travail.C quality is stunning.

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple, the only "complexity" is the memory of the actions of switches clip, cut bass and mid frequency.

Ergonomics could be intuitive + on these switches. eg bass cut = 0 is in the lower position of the bass cut switch, whereas the same position on the clip swtch induces more clipping.

Once built it's great.

SOUND QUALITY

It does everything very well. Can be from a very soft and warm overdrive, sounds compressed metal or very fussy.
Little breath.

I use Fender Jaguar with Johnny Marr, Les paul standard, gibson les paul jr DC, Rickenbacker 360 ... Mesa Boogie Transatlantic

OVERALL OPINION

I bought my first The ELEMENTS, in November 2011, I bought a second in December 2012.
I use one for high gain sounds and fussy, the second for overdrive. I kept on my pedal board I can Cream Ben rod for crunches.
