Element mid cut: This control has the same operation as the iBeam mid cut, but affects the Element. Be sure to have the mix control panned
completely to the Element when testing this setting.

Stereo/mono: This determines whether the output is summed to one mono channel or split into two signals. Stereo mode requires the use of a
standard stereo cable or stereo Y cable -- this mode puts the Element on the tip channel and the iBeam on the ring channel. If you use a mono
cable in stereo mode, only the Element will be present. This setting is useful for recording each pickup independently, creating separate blends
for two different sets of speakers (for example, the house speakers and stage monitors), or applying different effects to each channel. The
following section describes how the Remote Control II operates in stereo and mono modes.

11.2 Using the Remote Control II: In mono mode, the volume wheel controls the levels of both channels equally -- rotate the wheel towards the
neck to increase the master volume. The mix control determines the amount of each pickup in the overall blend. Rotate the wheel completely
towards the neck for 100% iBeam, and completely towards the saddle for 100% Element. The 12:00 position will give both pickups equal output.

For most applications, an equal blend of both sources should provide an effective balance between the iBeam's warmth, fidelity and body
sensitivity, and the Element's presence and stability. For recording or intimate venues (especially when soloing), favoring the iBeam may elicit a
warmer, richer, more natural tone. When playing in loud environments or with an ensemble, favoring the Element will provide more "cut," which
will help bring the guitar through the mix.

In stereo mode, each wheel becomes assigned to an individual pickup and controls the output of that source independently. In this instance, the
"vol" wheel controls the Element output and the "mix" wheel controls the iBeam.
