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

The BOSS NS-2 from Sweetwater 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 FX 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

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
FREE shipping on most items
Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

This one the missing link for my board as I use a Strat and a Tele. I have my Comp, Wah, Drive, and Distortion pedals running through the send and return and my modulation, delay, and verb through the normal output. It definitely cuts all that un wanted hi gain distortion noise and 60's cycle hum I was getting. Get this pedal because you'll love being noise free.

This pedal does exactly what it's supposed to do. It takes out all the unwanted squeals and hisses from a high gain amp and hot pickup noise. Do yourself a favor and use the 4 cable method when connecting it up. You won't be sorry,you're playing some headbanging,in your face metal,then pause…..DEAD silence. I'm very happy with this.

Recording has always been a bit noisy when micing my amp even on clean tones. Now that I have this it will always have a spot on my board. Highly recommend.

Unwanted 60hz hum? Buy it! It was easy to install on my pedalboard. YouTube videos show you the many ways to get this done. Very happy Camper!

Works exactly as intended. Keeps the pedal buzz to a minimum. I've only played it with humbuckers so I'm not sure about single coil hum.

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!
