Boss NS2 Noise Suppressor Pedal
The Boss NS2 Noise Surpressor Pedal produces a much more natural-sounding noise suppression with a smoother release than conventional noise gate units.
A built in DC Out jack allows the NS2 to power other effect units when the NS2 itself is powered by a PSA120S adapter.
The NS2 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 BOSS's unique noise detection circuit that precisely separates the guitar sound and the noise components.
Recognized by guitarists everywhere as the world's first name in compact effects pedals, BOSS makes sure you get the tone you want every time you play. Whether it be classic or hard rock, blues, jazz, country, funk or something new, wild and completely on the edge, BOSS helps you find your tone.
Beyond the killer effects pedals, BOSS is also constantly pushing the envelope to develop innovative multi-effects, rhythm machines and other easy-to-use instruments for musicians of all types. Put simply, BOSS gives you the great-sounding tools you need to spend more time making great music.

| | | Subject: | This pedal does exactly what it's advertised to do ! | | Quality:
| This pedal seems pretty rugged and well put together as Boss products usually are, seems like it could or would withstand a full rigorus tour or two and it seems like it will fully withstand being turned on for long hard hours even in hot steamy weather without burning out | | Reliability:
| I have had it only 2 or 3 days, but as with ANYTHING you buy - take care of it and it will last a lifetime, just dont go dropping it or hurling it down a flight of stairs at someones skull (That's what the cheap brands are for !)! and DONT try to use it as a doorstop !, Honestly, I cant tell you how long a battery will last in it cause mine came with the adapter included so no money wasted on batteries here ! | | Overall:
| It does just what it's made to do, it eliminates all the buzz or picked-up interference you may experience, I find though, that when I turn the Threshold knob all the way up to Max to kill all unwanted noises, buzzes and sounds that it will change my tone a little bit and kill some sustain and change my distortion sound a little (I have this pedal in my pedalboard before all the other pedals, I'm pluged directly into it from my guitar and it still can change your tone even though it IS before the distortion pedal, it even changes if you plug into this pedal last), and if you turn it down too much it will let noise bleed through, you apparently have to set the threshold just right to kill noise and not kill sustain, distortion or tone, but if you have a noisy setup like I have than it will work wonders and give you a sharp clean sound to your notes, I really feel it is a huge improvement on my sound and I am so glad I went ahead and bought it. | | Playability and Feel:
| You dont really feel it, except maybe with your foot, you cant really adjust it while playing as with ANY pedal unless you have a set of monkey toes so set it beforehand and your good to go ! | | Tone:
| It CAN change your tone and sustain and distortion slightly if you Max out the Threshold reguardless if it is the first or last pedal in your setup, to avoid that either turn the Threshold down a hair or two or just buy yourself a Boss sustainer pedal | | Finish:
| Seems like anything else, if you take care of it - it will look good and it's finish will last for a long time, Boss recomends that you ONLY clean it with a damp cloth, never use chemicals on their finishes, What I find is that if you really have to clean off a filthy Boss pedal than water down some windex window cleaner, be sure you use the windex withOUT ammonia in it only though, ammonia will change the color a little, I learned that on an old Red Boss PSM-5 pedal that is now more orange at best lol ! | | Action:
| I'm a Hard Rock-Heavy Metal singer/vocalist/songwriter from way back in the 80's & 90's who's played with countless great guitarists from ALL genres of music and have learned quite a lot about guitar equipment from most of them, I'm NO Yngwie, But I can get throuh any cover or original set, these days I'm more of a vintage guitar collector, I started playing guitar back around age 13 or so just so I could work on original songs, but I do know good quality stuff from junk and Boss is simply one of the best brand of pedals you CAN buy as far as new stuff sound goes these days, Boss products always have the sound and edge you are really looking for and they hold up quite well on long tours !, Boss is as good if not better than the old real 70's MXR pedals, most other brands arent even worth considering ! | | Skill Level:
