Chain Palette

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.

Parameter Value Explanation
ON/OFF OFF, ON Turns this effect on/off.
THRESHOLD 0–100

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.

  • High settings for the threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your guitar volume turned down.
RELEASE 0–100 Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until the noise level reaches “0”.
DETECT This controls the noise suppressor based on the volume level for the point specified in Detect.
INPUT

Input volume from input jack.

  • Ordinarily, DETECT should be set to “INPUT”.
NS INPUT

Noise suppressor input volume.

  • When connected as illustrated below, and you want to prevent a spatial-type effects sound (such as a delay sound) from being eradicated by the NS, you should set DETECT to “NS INPUT”.
