The Noise Gate and Hum Canceller settings can be stored with each Sound.
However, sometimes you may want to use the same settings for all Sounds. To do
this, set the
GATE/HUM PER SOUND
parameter to
ALL(see page 38).
The Noise Gate parameters are disabled when the Acoustic Sim Preamp type is
selected (see page 28). If you attempt to modify them, the display will temporarily

Compressor
The compressor ÒsqueezesÓ your sound, so that the softest and loudest
levels are closer together. This creates a more consistent output volume.
The
COMPRESSION LEVEL
parameter determines the compression ratio. It
can be set to Off or 1 through 5. The various ratios include:

Volume
When the
VOLUME PEDAL ON/OFF
control is turned on, you can control
volume by connecting a volume-type pedal to the
PEDAL 1
jack on the rear
panel (or via MIDI using controller 7). You can set this parameter to
control volume either before it goes into the Preamp (
PrE) or as it comes
out of the Preamp (
PSt, which stands for ÒpostÓ). For more info on using
pedals, see page 17.
Distortion Box
This provides various types of distortion, such as those commonly found
in pedal boxes. These offer different characteristics than overdriving the
preamp. The
DISTORTION BOX

following types:
