Creating Your Own Program and
Adjusting the Noise Reduction
This section explains how to create your own program, in-
cluding how to adjust effect parameters and the noise re-
duction setting.
As you’ll hear, selecting a different effect type by using the
EFFECTS selector switch will automatically adjust the EDIT
2 and EDIT 3 parameter values to suit the selected effect
type.
In addition, selecting a different amp sound style by using
the STYLE selector switch will automatically set the noise
reduction to a value that suits the selected amp type. This
can be very convenient. However, you may sometimes want
to tweak an existing preset program to change a sound to
exactly what you have in mind. Alternatively, you may want
to adventurously explore the world of sound creation and
design by starting from scratch.
HINT: When you turn on the DA5, the EDIT 2, EDIT 3 and
Noise Reduction parameters will be automatically set
to the values appropriate to the current selection of the
EFFECTS and STYLE selector switches.
Creating your own program
Let’s start from scratch.
1. Use the BYPASS button to bypass the effect. (The
BYPASS LED is lit.) If you want to use an effect, you
can add it at the end of this process.
2. Use the STYLE selector switch to select an amp
sound type.
HINT: For more details on STYLE options, refer to “Styles and
Effects” (page 12).
3. Adjust the top panel GAIN and TONE knobs.
4. Hold down the TAP button and turn the EDIT 1 knob
to adjust the noise reduction. This setting is also
saved as part of your program. For details, refer to
“Adjusting the noise reduction” (page 11)
HINT: Adjust the noise reduction so that you don’t hear noise
when you’re not playing your guitar.
5. If you want to use an effect, press the BYPASS but-
ton to turn bypass off (the BYPASS LED goes dark).
6. Select an effect, and make adjustments. For ex-
ample if you want to add delay, turn the EFFECT
selector to “DELAY.” If the selector is already set to
“DELAY,” you’ll have to turn it to a different effect and
then back to “DELAY.”
Use the TAP button or EDIT 1 knob to adjust the
delay time and delay level.
