I recently bought a Darkglass Element, put it in the end of my pedalboard, and using the eq, amp sim and cab sim in it.
I am about to perform on stage with my current equipment, which includes a bass guitar going through effects pedals, with the Darkglass Element as the final pedal in the signal chain. I want my sound at the front of house to have the Element's sound (including EQ, amp simulation, and cab sim). At the same time, I want to hear the sound from the physical bass cab on stage without the cab sim from the Element (but still with the EQ and amp simulation). Additionally, I do not want to go through the physical amp head on stage, only through the cab.
I know that I need to send the direct output of the Element, which is an XLR output, to the PA. However, how can I output the sound without the cab sim to the physical bass cab on stage? The Element has a jack called "instrument out, amp in." Can I use this jack to output the signal without the cab sim to the physical bass cab on stage? I am not quite sure what "instrument out, amp in" means, and by looking the name of it, it doesn’t seems like what I need.
Furthermore, the Darkglass Element manual mentions that "The Element does NOT act as a loadbox! Always make sure your amplifier is connected to a suitable load!" This sentence makes me worried that I might damage my equipment. What does it mean?
This is my first time using this method for on-stage monitoring. In the past, when I used other cabinet simulations, I went directly to the PA and monitored through the stage floor monitors without listening to the physical bass cab on stage. However, my friend told me that using the physical bass cab on stage as a monitor can provide better results, so I want to give it a try. I hope you can help me with these questions. Thank you.
