i was going to get one, but then I thought of getting an ENGL powerball which has a built in noise gate, so unless im gettting ENGL, ill be getting it!

fr some reason it didn't work at the start but i probably set it up wrong!!
now, however, it works like a charm!!

Pretty useful little pedal, noise gate, mute pedal, powers other boss pedals off 1 power supply.

metal_man101 :
what rivals does this have????
POSTED: 03/26/2007 - 10:52 am / quote |
Quo Vadis :
Its rivals are pretty much any noise gates.

Now I need a little help. I play alot of super heavy stuff(Quo Vadis, Arch Enemy, Lamb of God) and i get ALOT of feedback in between notes, i just want to know, will this stop that??

I bought a Behringer Noise reducer. 30 bucks, and is made with the same guts that the boss pedal is made with why is why boss is sueing behringer. Get the Behringer pedal, same thing, much cheaper.

the first review says that it doesnt cut amp noise much, i want to eliminate heavy feedback on my laney TF200 cos at the mo i play distorted, high volumes and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations please?

Konstantine19 :
This thing is a waste of money... if you want a real noise gate I would deff look into gettting the ISP decimator. google search

guy_tebache :
It's not as efficient at cutting amp noise (I tried putting it through my FX loop, but this did nothing)

That means that the noise is coming from the power amp in your amp. If its a tube amp try replacing the valves if you're worried. If its solid state... buy a better amp.

If you have one on your effects loop and another going straight from your guitar to your amp it should cut all unwanted amp noise. Just keep watching the settings you have them both on.

I got an NS-2 myself, got it for 20$ used, but it was on top shape. I tried it a bit, had no manual, and at the time I didn't really appreciate it (got it like 2 years ago). But now that I'm playing pretty high-gain stuff, combined with some crappy pups the V I got has on it, it does wonders. It was a good buy

Great pedal though I just bought it last night. Picked it up in store for $50 used though I thought it was $94 which I still would have been happy with. Works exactly as designed and from my limited testing it will cut most of the noise that comes out of my amp when I'm not playing. The hiss of the amp can't be helped much.

this is why i love line 6 amps. you don't need like half of these pedals. great for un-rich people and i guess beginners.

i use the noise surpresser on my me50 and have it on full all of the time. when off it just sounds awful as my pickups literally pickup anything. i imagine the NS2 is much better than the me50 feature.

when i decide to go multiple standalone pedals i will deffo look into getting this

Line 6 sucks...I have an amp with all kinds of effects a Vypyr 75 it blows the hell out of Line 6 I should know i have one of those too. Anyways I still need to pick this one up I get a lot of buzzing from my amp when the gain is turned wide open.

highwayone73 :
Got mine used awhile ago. Wouldn't play without it. My amp isnt too noisey but all my guitars-except my Blackout equipped Flying V-are. Plus I've got a pretty broad, and constantly changing taste in pedals so this little guy is really handy. I'd still take a Decimator over one of these though. More expensive, but those things are awesome.

tristan_deity :
these are rally ****ing expencive if you buy them brand new in australia, god dam 170$!! but i have really shitty equiptment (magnum guitar, 100w ashton, boss gt8) and this does a pretty good job, it actually makes my crap equip sound good. the only problem is that when your holding killer note at the end of a solo it will probably cut it off a bit to soon. mind you i think that if you had like a through neck or some pickups with pretty good sustain you probs wont have this problem. any way ive been playing for 4 years so i know my shit and this my friens is a definate good buy.
