Congrats on your new amp! Looks like Marshall is moving into the 21st century quite well. ZZSmilieZZ

Threshold usually refers to an effect setting for delay, or noise gate/compression. I haven't had the opportunity to play one of these yet. But I looked at the PDF manual on their site.

If you search for "threshold" sure enough it comes up under the noise gate setting on page 6.

"If the noise Gate is applied, when your sound level drops below the set threshold
it will activate, preventing any signal below that threshold from passing through.
It progressively attenuates the guitar signal, following its dynamics, to suppress
unwanted noise.

GATE
PARAMETER VALUE RANGE DESCRIPTION
Threshold 0 - 10 Sets the point at which the Gate begins to close."

Hope that helps!
