MASTER

The following parameters can be set with MASTER.

• NS (Noise Suppressor)

• Patch Level

• Master BPM

• FV (Foot Volume)

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.

Explanation

Effect
Off, On
Switches the noise suppressor effect on/off.
This parameter can be set with the PATCH/VALUE dial.
When NS is On, the [MASTER] indicator lights.
* Even if [MASTER] is pressed, you cannot switch the noise suppressor
on and off.
Threshold
Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the
0–100
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 sup-
0–100
pressor begins to function until the noise
level reaches "0."
Detect
This controls the noise suppressor based on
Input, NS Input,
the volume level for the point specified in
FV Out
Detect.
Input
Input volume from input jack.
NS Input
Noise suppressor input volume.
FV Out
Volume after passing through Foot Volume.

Master BPM
Parameter/
Range
Master BPM
40–250
* BPM (beats per minute) indicates the number of quarter note beats that
occur each minute.
* When you have an external MIDI device connected, the Master BPM
synchronizes to the external MIDI device's tempo, making it impossible
to set the Master BPM. To enable setting of the Master BPM, set
"MIDI Sync Clock" (p. 80) to Internal.
Control with the Master BPM
To input the Master BPM with the CTL pedal, set CTL
Pedal Function (p. 54) to "Master BPM (Tap)."
FV (Foot Volume)
This is a volume control effect. Usually, this is controlled to
the EXP pedal.
