Boss NS-1X Noise Suppressor

Boss NS-1X Noise Suppressor - Based on advanced BOSS MDP technology, the NS-1X intelligently reduces noise without affecting the natural tone of your guitar or bass. The Reduction mode keeps your setup quiet in any general playing configuration, while the Gate mode provides ultra-fast responses to ensure that high-gain, precision riffs remain clear and distinct. Versatile and easy to use, the NS-1X is an essential tool for tackling noise issues during practice, performance, and recording.

Features:

• Next-generation noise suppressor and gate for guitar, bass, and other electronic musical instruments
• BOSS MDP intelligent technology eliminates noise without impacting the playing feel or response
• Intuitive operation with Threshold, Decay, and Damp controls
• Reduction mode for general noise suppression applications
• Gate mode offers ultra-fast noise removal for tapping, sweep picking, and rhythm styles that rely on high-gain tones
• Mute mode to stop the instrument signal when the pedal switch is engaged (the pedal operates in user-selectable Reduction or Gate mode when the switch is off)
• Reduction indicator dynamically displays the current noise suppression status
• Send/return loop for optimised noise removal with overdrive, distortion, and other noise-producing pedals
• DC output for powering other pedals (requires optional PSA adapter and parallel PCS-20A cable)
