Perfect! Apr 30, 2011
By Matti_Ice

This is a Boss product, which means you are getting a high quality stompbox that is worth every penny. You also have great customer service, and an item which will always hold a high resale value. I have owned TONS of Boss pedals and never disliked any of them. They have always performed up to my expectations.
Now for the NS-2. This is my 2nd one to own and let me tell you, this is an ultimate problem solver. If you have a noisy effects loop, this pedal is equipped to clean that right up. If you need something to mute your signal with the stomp of a foot, this is it. If you are having a lot of noise problems, this is it. Loads of big names use this pedal, one in particular that has always come to my mind is Hatebreed, a band that relies on massive amounts of gain that would probably otherwise be a screaming mess in between breaks in the guitar riffs. But I've seen them, I've seen tons of bands using this pedal and none of them have had noise issues live.
The NS-2 is my last line of defense in my chain. I have a noise gate on my processor, then I go to my rack gear, then the NS-2, then amp. I used to have problems with feedback, especially in small venues and would have to crank the noise gate out on my processor thus killing my tone, sustain, and just destroying my sound. I tried the Decimator by ISP but same problem, constantly having to re-adjust and dime it out and kill my tone. Now the noise gate on my processor is set LOW and the NS-2 is set with the threshold at a little over mid way and the decay control set at about 3 quarters, for a more natural "fade out" effect when I stop playing. That way you don't have an abrupt stop in your sound. You can also switch the pedal over to a MUTE feature so that you can mute your signal. I have no use for this as I have a volume pedal, but its a good extra feature. This pedal stays on at all times whenever I'm playing and is mounted in a shelf in my rack. Set it and forget it. No issues with tone destruction, and the good thing is, you can even turn it off whenever you want if you are worried about it holding back your signal.
It has cleaned up my sound. Breaks have become completely silent, and I have no more amp noise, just the hum of the fan in my amp head is all I can hear. This pedal is a life saver, especially if you have a lot of gear junking up your signal. Its not going to fix electrical problems or anything like that! A lot of rookie guitarists don't understand that some noise isn't their rig at all but their power. Use the right adapters, good cords, and GET A POWER CONDITIONER and you will be just fine. Add the NS-2 to your rig and noise is dead. Period.

Excellent item. Jun 05, 2009
By Ira Carmel This noise suppressor allows you to run a loop of effects through a send receive setup. It performs a function of closing off final output when signal from the send receive loop drops below a certain level.
I used this item, a compressor, and modifications to my bass to drastically reduce extra noise and hum in my rig.
< Output Unit < Input < Send < Receive
Output to your amp. Send to your effects loop input. Input from your instrument. Receive from your effects loop output.
Example; < To Amp < From guitar.
< To Receive < Compressor < Wah Pedal < Fuzz < Equalizer < Send
Send me a comment if you have a question about this unit.

Love my Noise Suppressor Jul 20, 2010
By solarain This is a great pedal. It doesn't "process" or "color" the sound, so a lot of people don't really think of getting one.
If you use several pedals or have a noisy pickup on your guitar, you will want one of these. It picks up the nasty humming/buzzing, and removes it....all under your control. You can dial in how sensitive the noise reduction is so you can get the "quiet" you want.
I use several pedals and, when using them alone, they are pretty quiet....however, when I string them together, they start making noise....humming/buzzing.....I added this pedal to my pedal board and the unwanted noises are gone.
Highly recommend!!

Where'd the noise go? Dec 27, 2008
By Brett Gilmer
"The Guy"
I got this pedal for christmas, I've been wanting it for a while. The effects send/return loop kills the hum. I use a Digitech Tube overdrive, a strat and a 65 watt Fender amp. You know you still get the hush from the amp when its on, but the overdrive "SHHHH"is gone. The tone from my rig is intact, and it doesn't sound like I'm playing on the beach.
If this pedal got stolen, I'll chop his hand off!
