Set Up Eleven
Use Eleven’s Input LED to make final gain adjustments and complete the input calibration process.
To calibrate your input signal to the Eleven plug-in:
1 Open the Eleven plug-in window by clicking its insert slot. Leave it at its default settings.
2 Strum as hard as you can a few more times and
watch Eleven’s Input LED to see where your level
registers. The Input LED lights green, yellow, or-
ange, or red to indicate the following level
ranges:
Green (Off to –8)
Indicates signal is present, but too low.
Yellow (–8 to –4)
Indicates the best level for low output sources,
such as single coil pickups.
Orange (–4 to 0)
Indicates the best level for higher output
sources, such as humbucker pickups.
Red (0 and above)
Indicates that you have clipped the plug-in
input. Click the Input LED to clear the clip
indicator.
3 Leaving the Input control on the plug-in at its
default setting of 0 (12:00 position), set the sig-
nal level going to the plug-in by adjusting the in-
put gain control on your hardware until Eleven’s
Input LED shows yellow or orange.
4 After calibrating, strum as you normally
would and/or back down your guitar volume
from the maximum setting used for input cali-
bration. Don’t worry about the Input LED show-
ing yellow or orange when playing normally. As
long as the plug-in isn’t indicating clipping, your
gain staging should be established.
5 Adjust the Output knob in Eleven’s Master sec-
tion to raise or lower the plug-in output signal.

Proper input calibration of live guitar does
not require any adjustment of Eleven’s Input
control. To learn how this control was de-
signed to work with the amp models, see “In-
put” on page 542.
