From Our Research Team:

Smoother and "More Natural" Than Your Regular Noise Gate!

The NS-2 effectively eliminates noise and hum of the input signal while preserving the original sound's tonality. The natural attack and envelope are unaffected thanks to the NS-2's unique noise detection circuit that precisely separates the guitar sound and the noise components.

Great fix for noisy pedals

I had this for years in my home electronica studio in which I used a few distortion pedals on bass and lead synths.

If you have a ground hum or a noisy amp though... Well, it's not an electrician. It isolates the ambient noise in the fx loop and phase cancels it like the Bose headphones do but fir your guitar. TV stations use this same tech to eliminate wind and crowd noise with a background mic instead if an FX loop in broadcast audio. Very effective. If noisy boxes is your problem, this is your solution. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Chris McCown
Kill the noise! Whether you're playing a Strat and dealing with the fabled 60Hz hum, or playing a guitar with humbuckers through a high-gain amp, you can seriously reduce or even eliminate the annoying interference you hear when you're not playing with this simple-to-use pedal. Why would you want to be heard if you're not playing? Just plug this into your effects chain before any reverbs or delays, and let the gate do the rest!
