The Boss NS2 is the next level noise gate that delivers a tight, warm, and responsive tone!Įliminates any unwanted noises and feedback.ĭelivers a tight, warm, and responsive tone. It delivers clarity and feels like a very slight compressor which simultaneously reduce unwanted noise. Depending on settings, the tone will least be affected with the threshold control at minimum and the decay control at maximum, by gradually controlling the opposite, will start to give a slight thump that feels great whilst playing on both clean and driven tones. The NS2 is a versatile pedal and in my opinion is an essential for creating a great tone. In addition my tone felt warmer tighter and more responsive to my playing. It is super responsive to playing thus not sacrificing the first note you play. Unlike the Noise gate and as the names imply, the NS2 suppresses the noise and not gate it. I use the NS2 directly in front of my pedal chain and achieved great results by eliminating unwanted noise and feedback when my boost and drive pedals etc.
If you are deciding what noise removing thing to buy, this is it! So if you begin to get feedback, step on it and it will be gone. It has a mute option that allows you to simply cut all sound from the guitar instantly. When I don't play (even with the distortion on and turned up all the way) it's virtually silent. There's no annoying fade in that leaves the attack sounding like something fluffy and uncertain. When you start playing a note, it's instantaneously there. The NS-2 completely rids it of any noise that I don't want. It has a send-return circuit for plugging your other pedals into. There's also a handy led to tell you when it is actually cutting noise. There are two modes: reduction, which means when the pedal is off, nothing is happening, and when the pedal is on, it cuts noise and mute, which cuts noise when the pedal is off, and totally mutes your sound (e.g. You can pretty much leave this at minimum, unless it sounds un-natural to your ears) and mode. It's very easy to use: there are only 3 knobs on it, threshold (determines the sound level the signal needs to fall below before the NS-2 silences it), decay (determinies the time before the effect kicks in - the further clockwise you turn it, the more natural it sounds, but it will be less efficient at cutting noise. Just listen patiently to how the decay and threshold affect your sound, put the reverbs, delays and modulation after it (it's in the manual) and rock on! If anything because there won't be any noise you'll actually lose some annoying ice-picky high end (swear to god). Your tone will be preserved (I promise), no sketchy EQ changes at all. I don't even play metal, but I just had to say that. Not only you vanquish the noise of your pedal army, but also the screams of your amplified dungeons of doom. With this kind of chaining method, BOSS designed the ultimate noise killer in my opinion. You can sucessfully use it for specific pedals/group of pedals (after them or through the send+return loop), but in my case the noise also involved the amplifer itself and that's where the built-in superpower inside the NS-2 comes in, the "three-cable method": +Versatile (send+return loop and three cable method) I'd known Yngwe Malmsteen himself used it live, so what could go wrong? I bought this pedal to see if I could at least reduce the noise coming from both my amplifier and pedal setup, specially when recording.
