Noise Reduction:

Ampworks for guitar and bass both feature programmable noise reduction.
To access noise reduction hold down the TAP button and turn the effect depth control left to right. After you have made your setting, play a chord or single note and then stop. Note: Noise that might have previously been present (due to high gain or single coil hum) should now be gone. Make adjustments as necessary.

Using the Tap button:

The Tap button on Ampworks allows you to easily adjust certain effect parameters such as delay time, modulation speed and reverb length.
To set the delay time, tap the Tap button to a desired tempo. Note: This is very useful for setting a delay repeat in time with your songs tempo. To set the speed of a modulation effect and reverb length, use the same procedure. Note: The Reverb length will depend upon the space between taps. Chorus/ Phaser/ Rotary= x2. This means that if Flanger is selected (which has a proportion to tap interval of x2,) if you tap at a 4 second interval, Ampworks will set the parameter value (flanger speed) to twice that length, or 8 seconds. You can also adjust the amount of effect level by turning the Eff. depth control. (Maximum of 4 seconds)

Note: The above effects have different proportion to tap intervals. EX: Flanger = x2, Delay= x1,
