Noise Suppressor

This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by guitar pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the guitar sound (the way in which the guitar sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the guitar sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound.

*Please connect the noise suppressor in the signal path prior to the reverberation type effect. This setup will prevent an natural break of the reverberation type effect.

ParameterValue

On/Off

Off, On

Threshold0–100

Release0–100

On/Off (Effect On/Off)

Turns the noise suppressor effect on/off.

This parameter can be set with the PATCH/VALUE dial.

*Even if [NAME/NS/MASTER] is pressed, you cannot switch the noise suppressor on and off.

Threshold

Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is appropriate. Adjust this value until the decay of the guitar sound is as natural as possible.

*High settings for the threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your guitar volume turned down.

Release

Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until the noise level reaches “0.”
