HOW IT WORKS

From your pedalboard to your DAW. And back.

Use the EL&R as a reamper or an effects loop. It can also run as a standalone input from effect pedals, keyboards, and more.

Send to your pedals

Signal leaves your interface, hits the EL&R send, runs through your effects chain or out to your amplifier. Impedance matching ensures your pedal or amp sees the signal correctly.

Return with character

Your track comes back through the EL&R return. Use the transformer to add warmth. Manipulate your audio in real time.

Back to a new track

Record the processed signal as a new track. Dry signal stays untouched. Ideal to add color, or double tracks. Try it on keys, vocals, and drums too.

The EL&R adds transformer warmth, provides two DC power outputs for your pedals, and gives you variable impedance matching.

Assign a track to the 500 series input (which becomes the EL&R output) and connect a 1/4" cable to your guitar amp or effects. If reamping an amplifier, connect a microphone to your interface and record while playing back the source track. 

For reamping an effects loop, assign the track to the 500 series input. Connect the EL&R output to your effects input and then the output of the effects to the input on the front panel of the EL&R. Record as you would any 500 series module.
