USING THE NOISE GATE TO GET A CLEAN SIGNAL
Since all its effects are connected internally,
the GW50 generates no noise of its own.
However, since the guitar and connecting
cord you use may not be as quiet as the
GW50, a built-in Noise Gate has been included
to filter out any unwanted noise or hum and
keep the signal completely quiet when you’re
not playing. (For more information on the
Noise Gate, see page 69.)
To select and adjust the noise gate:
1. From Manual or Memory Edit mode, simul-
taneously hold down [SHIFT] and press
[SUB PARAM] until “N.GATE” is shown in
the LCD.
2. Adjust the Threshold (THRESH) value in the
display, using the [–]/[+] buttons.
Set this to a high value when the noise level
is particularly high.
