Given carbon fiber's strong vibrational transmission properties, the Element system alone not only picks up string vibration but also top and body vibrations--it's like a UST and SBT all in one. If I wanted to enhance the tone of the Element and/or reduce any residual quack in the Element's signal, I'd use an LR Baggs Session DI or an AudioSprockets ToneDexter.
