NAME/NS/MASTER
You can select the following items in NAME/NS/MASTER.
• Name (Patch Name)
• Noise Suppressor
• Master
• Foot Volume
• Effect Chain
* With each press of [NAME/NS/MASTER], you move to the
next item that can be set, in this order:
Name → Noise Suppressor → Master → Foot Volume →
Effect Chain.
Name (Patch Name)
Each patch can be given a name (Patch Name) consisting of
up to sixteen characters. You’ll probably want to take
advantage of this feature by assigning names that suggest the
sound you’ll obtain, or the song in which it’ll be used.
1. Press [NAME/NS/MASTER] so that the Name edit
screen appears in the display.
fig.04-060d
2. Press PARAMETER [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to
the text area you want to edit.
3. Rotate the PATCH/VALUE dial to change the
characters.
* You can use the following functions when changing text
characters.
CAPS: Switches the character at the cursor position
between upper and lower case.
INS: Inserts a blank space at the cursor position.
DEL: Deletes the character at the cursor position and
shifts the characters following it to the left.
4. If you want to edit names further, repeat Steps 2 and 3.
5. If you want to save the sequence you’ve set up, use the
Write procedure (p. 25) to save it to a User patch.
Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen.
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.”
