Powered by advanced BOSS MDP technology, the NS-1X intelligently silences noise without affecting the natural tone and playing feel of your guitar or bass. Reduction mode keeps your rig quiet in any general playing setup, while Gate mode provides ultra-fast performance to ensure that precision, high-gain riffs remain sharp and distinct. Versatile and easy to use, the NS-1X is an essential tool for defeating noise issues while practicing, performing, and recording.

Review: The correct cabling method makes ALL the difference! - When I originally got this pedal, I was extremely disappointed in it. I run my pedalboard in four cable mode, with my boost slamming the front of my EVH 5150 50S and all my effects in the effects loop of the amp. However, when I originally hooked this pedal up in the configuration I intuitively thought it should go, there was a noticeable tone-suck going on. So I relegated it to the graveyard of my ever-growing useless pedal pile and went back to using my cheap Bezos Noise-Gate pedal. A few days ago I stumbled on a video that showed me how to do 4CM the correct way with this pedal - namely ‘X’ pattern 4CM - and when I tried it out, WHAMMO! It took a bit of doing, but no more tone-suck and, with a bit of tweaking of the settings, I got lush, articulate, noise-free guitar tone in return. For me, being a high-gain player, this is an always-on pedal. But there’s another secret that I love. When you select the ‘mute’ mode and shut the pedal off, it defaults to one of the other two modes, Gate or Dampen, automatically. You can choose which mode you want to be the default and it remembers even after you shut it off. Kick the pedal on again and it does what it says on the tin, mutes the signal. Why is this a good thing? No extra tap-dancing steps when you power the entire board on. It’s already in the correct mode with my settings active when everything else comes up as well! It’s just one less hassle before getting down to business and I love the attention to detail that went into the design. So, if you are experiencing tone-suck from this pedal in 4CM, short and brutal, you’re doing it wrong. Look up some YouTube videos to see how to do it correctly. I went from angry that I had bought an expensive, but useless pedal, to thoroughly stoked, with this one little adjustment.
Review: Quietest pedal on the market. - Simply amazing! Might by one for the other side of the rooms stereo amp. Shhhhh it’s that good. Make sure you use the loop method with your distortion and compression pedals. You will need more cables. Google it.
