Adjusting the Noise Gate
The Black Box has a feature called a "Noise Gate" that acts to prevent feedback or noise from your guitar's pickups becoming
noticeable while you are not playing. Once the input signal from your guitar drops below a certain threshold volume level, the Noise
Gate automatically turns off the remaining signal completely so that any unwanted noise or feedback doesn't get through to the
Black Box's outputs.
If the signal is not cutting off soon enough, you can increase the Noise Gate threshold by pushing "Tap Tempo" and the "Drumbeat
up-arrow." If it is cutting off decaying sounds or soft playing too soon you may lower the noise gate threshold by pushing the "Tap
Tempo" and "Drumbeat down-arrow" together. The LCD will display Noise Gate Threshold levels from nine to zero when you make
changes. A setting of zero turns the Noise Gate off.
