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.


Boss NS-2 Features:
  • Compact noise suppression pedal for eliminating noise and hum in guitar and bass effects and amplifier setups
  • Unique noise detection circuit preserves the natural attack and envelope of an instrument's sound
  • Threshold and Decay knobs allow for shaping the elimination/suppression as desired

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!

Cut the Noise

I use this pedal all the time. No - it won't eliminate the noise from your signal. It will shut it down between songs when performing if your signal to noise ratio is at least somewhat sane. I use it ... read more [+]as a downward expander so it doesn't just shut off like a gate. It has worked well for me for years - great for performing. close [-]

Noise suppressors

I've got bad hum and buzz coming out of my amp and have it just about turned off and it's still bad.

Does a nice job if I'm using humbuckers but if you're having a severe noise problem it's probably a ground problem. Let a tech check out your amp and pickups before you invest in a pedal that you may not need. close [-]

Not Bad... might be what you need, and might not be...

This is an interesting box. It's not quite a noise-gate, and it's not quite a noise-suppressor... it's somewhere in the middle.

This is not a tool for studio use! It'... read more [+];s also not a tool to just remove minor hiss from a already almost noisless system. However, if you often play live shows and play with distortion (which is obviously going to create a lot of noise when you aren't playing), then I do recommend this box... it's just a hair better than a noise gate (which isn't saying much, but it still says a lot when you are already struggling with noise and noise gates are close to fixing it but don't sound quite right).

For the BEST results... do NOT plug this pedal between your guitar and amp... plug it into the FX loop!!!

When it comes to live noise and problems, sometimes a tool like this can go a looooong way (even if it only helps a little). Of course you can easily set this box to over-do-it, like anything. close [-]
