3 Ways To Use A Noise Suppressor Pedal

In this video I teach 3 ways to effectively use a Noise Suppressor pedal, using the omnipresent(hehe) BOSS NS-2, in varying situations of pedals and amplifiers.

**VIDEO MARKERS for various noise situations:

Situation 1: No amp FX Loop, guitar plugged straight in (00:17)

Situation 2: No amp FX Loop, using an overdrive for gain. (01:20)

Situation 3: Onboard amp FX loop, using amp's gain (02:43)

Keep in touch:

This still the best explanation on YouTube of how to use the NS-2. Anytime somebody asks me how to set theirs up, I just send them here.

Watched this video about 10 times because I always forget how to do this. Thanks for making it.

finnaly. someone that can explain the effects loop in simple terms .
thank you

1) For those that don't know, Boss pedals are buffered so that there is no tone sucking, which is nice.
2) The main reason for the "loop" built into this pedal is that the input section of the pedal circuit senses the original input, then compares it to what is going out of the output jack on the pedal. The NS2 attenuates the noise accordingly. This helps avoid over attenuation (or tone sucking).

Awesome video! Most people on YT aren't showing method/situation 2 of your video and I think that's very useful for amps with no fx loop.

Thank you my guy for doing every possible step and where you can plug it in I had questions you answered them through an observable experience. Ty

[EisensteinPrime]

Thank you. I needed method 2 and went through 3 or 4 other videos before finding this. Much appreciated!

I have those same Planet Waves cables, bought about 14 years ago and never had an issue. Solid choice

[davidvicars]

This is THE best video on how to use this pedal effectively, you explained it so well, even I can understand how to use it. Thank You so much, now off to go get me a boss ns-2.

I've been looking everywhere for this video. The most informative with the least BS

[Mastertarium]

Very good video. No more searching in Threads. You nailed it in one video. Thank you!

[dhavewala]

This video was a godsend mate

Thanks 🙏

[beelbrother]

i think only you and one other person have uploaded a video showing the correct way to set up a noise gate pedal. bravo subu!

[jorgecosta]

The best explanation of this pedal. Tanks.

[Mapache_]

Just got a tube amp and this is exactly the answer I was looking for!! Thanks!

[acslater]

You’re one of the few guys on here who knows what they are doing. Subscribed.

[carlosesguevacespedes]

Perfect explanation, and perfect Spanish pronuntiation!!. Dos perfects in one message ;)

Thank you for the explanation, it is useful for a newbie in using noise reductors like me :)

Greetings from Spain.

Hah finally someone who uses it like this! Awesome video! Maybe you should mention that time based effects like loopers, as well as delays and reverbs have to be placed after the whole noise reduction thing (between the NS-2s output and the effects return/poweramp) to avoid cutting off your nice delay and reverb trails :-)

[rzk_audio]

Great video - saved me buying two gates! That seems to be a good idea if your amp is feeding back noise in the preamp before the fx loop, but mine probably isn't gonna be doing that... fingers crossed....

[TheTektronik]

This will come in handy as my amp has an effects loop. Thanks a lot.
