The Boss NS-1X Noise Suppressor Pedal is a cutting-edge noise suppression tool. It utilizes advanced BOSS MDP technology to intelligently eliminate background noise while maintaining the natural tone and feel of your instrument.
Whether you play guitar, bass, or are into electronic music, the NS-1X is the perfect tool for ensuring clarity in both practice and performance. It offers multiple modes – Reduction, Gate, and Mute – to cater to your specific needs.
Reduction mode provides gentle noise suppression that works seamlessly with your playing style. Gate mode immediately silences the sound, making it particularly useful for high-gain sounds. Mute mode turns the bypass setting into a convenient mute switch, ideal for instrument changes or set breaks.
The NS-1X is designed with intuitive controls for easy operation. It features a multi-LED indicator that visually shows the status of noise suppression. Additionally, it includes a send/return loop for optimized noise elimination and a DC Out for powering other pedals.
The NS-1X offers a range of operational modes to accommodate your specific noise suppression needs. The Reduction mode smoothly reduces noise, compatible with a wide range of instruments and playing techniques. It ensures noiseless and organic note decay, even with low-output single coil pickups.
The Gate mode is perfect for high-gain sounds, instantly muting the sound when there’s no signal. The unique MDP technology provides an ultra-fast response, delivering a natural playing sensation and precise note attack. This mode is particularly effective for djent riffs, sweep picking, and legato tapping techniques.
Mute mode transforms the pedal’s bypass setting into a convenient mute switch, ideal for instrument changes, tuning, and breaks between sets. When the pedal is turned off, it functions in either Reduction or Gate mode, which can be selected during startup.
The Boss NS-1X Noise Suppressor Pedal offers simple and intuitive control. Its user-friendly controls and multi-LED indicator make it easy to tailor the noise suppression to your preferences. Here’s a quick guide to getting started:
– Threshold: Set the starting point for noise suppression. In Reduction mode, start from the minimum setting and turn clockwise to eliminate noise. In Gate mode, start from the highest setting and decrease until you achieve your desired attack response.
– Decay: Determines when maximum noise suppression is achieved in your chosen mode. Start from the lowest setting and increase clockwise for a more natural decay.
– Damp: Adjusts the intensity of noise reduction. Higher settings amplify the effect, while lower settings produce more organic results with certain playing styles.
– Reduction Indicator: Displays the current noise suppression status.
By adjusting these controls, you can create a noise suppression profile that perfectly matches your playing style and tonal preferences.
