Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor
Anonymous

Best value: Excellent
- Noise Suppressor (Noise Reduction)

- 3 knobs => treshold (intensity reduction), decay (reaction time for reduction) and choice of reduction or mute function (the mute does not serve me)

- Power supply with a 9V battery and then by sector

- Ability to power other pedals Boss with a cable (pcs20a) and a power supply boss (only if it adds psa series of feedback)

UTILIZATION

The principle of the effects loop is rather complicated at first but got used to it quickly.

There are two ways to plug this pedal: Either as explained in the manual, either by putting the end of the loop (my favorite method)

As for the settings is very simple.

on the other hand I noticed a very slight loss of sustain when you put everything in depth but you really have an ear to the amp!

The manual is very clear but I do not like the assembly is explained, but hey to each his own!

SOUND QUALITY

The Boss NS-2 is very effective indeed, with my pedals (Boss DS-1 Zoom multi-effects ...) there is a feedback monster! And when j'enclenche the NS-2, nothing!
It removes even the feedback produced by the effects of my amp!
My guitar is a Fender Jaguar with two microphones double, I have pedals that produce bcp of breath (such as DS-1) and an amp (Marshall MG45DFX which will soon be replaced by an H & K Edition Blue 60R) also made qiu of breath and as I said above, the NS-2 takes all.

I am very happy with the results!

OVERALL OPINION

It has been almost a month since I have it.

The + => Reduction excellent, intuitive adjustment, the ability to power other pedals (not just the boss!)
The - => History of the loop, a little tricky at first but you can plug it and forget the loop and it works very well (even better with my setup)

I had already tested a noise gate (zoom I think), he was doing his job, but a slight hiss persisted while with this pedal: NOTHING!

The price / quality ratio is excellent, the price is not too high (or € 83 with Musicstore Thomann) and the result is excellent.

I remake this choice without hesitation.
