■ NOISE SUPPRESSOR
This effect suppresses the noise and hum that
are picked up by a guitar pickup. Since it
reduces the noise in a way that matches the
envelope (the volume change over time) of the
guitar sound, it provides natural-sounding noise
suppression without significantly affecting the
guitar sound.

Set this to a higher value if there is a lot of noise, or to a

* If you set the Threshold to a high value, the sound may be
cut off when you play with the volume of your guitar
turned low.
