Synth Level
This determines the volume of the synthesizer sound.
Direct Level
This determines the volume of the direct sound.

■ SEQ (Sub Equalizer)

This adjusts the tone as a sub equalizer. A parametric type is
adopted for the high-middle and low-middle range.
Low EQ (low equalizer)
Adjusts the low frequency range tone.
Low-Middle Frequency
Specify the center of the frequency range that will be
adjusted by the “Low-Middle Q.”
Low-Middle Q
Adjusts the width of the area affected by the EQ centered at
the “Low-Middle Frequency.” Higher values will narrow the
area.
Low-Middle EQ (low-middle equalizer)
Adjusts the “Low-Middle Frequency” range tone.
High-Middle Frequency
Specify the center of the frequency range that will be
adjusted by the “High-Middle EQ.”
High-Middle Q
Adjusts the width of the area affected by the EQ centered at
the “High-Middle Frequency.” Higher values will narrow
the area.
High-Middle EQ

(High-middle equalizer)

Adjusts the “High-Middle Frequency” range tone.
High EQ (high equalizer)
Adjusts the high frequency range tone.
Level
Adjusts the volume after the equalizer.
NS (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.
Parameter Value
On/Off Off, On
Threshold 0–100
Release 0–100
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.”
