I remember very well back in the '80s when people didn't have much respect for BOSS. I was scratching my head and thinking why? What's going on here? Now in 2023 everyone realizes these pedals are darned good. Fantastic company.
So it's a gate that uses the direct guitar signal to detect whether to activate for the best, most accurate gating logic, but the gate itself is actually activated in the effects loop, so when the gate is on, literally the entire rig goes silent. Very cool. Sidechain gate detection is definitely the best way to go with high gain and noise gates.
I'm glad you let us peak behind the curtain and hear the hum in your rig. Recording next to a PC and home studio gear is a nightmare, especially with single coils.
I thought you had some magic setup, but you struggle just like the rest of us!
Thanks Pete, your down to earth approach is what brings me back again and again. Well, that and the awesome tunes you crank out!
I saw the title and thought "How interesting could a gate pedal be?"
Answer: Quite interesting. :)
Yep BOSS, them da BOSS. Been using them since the 80's and still have at least 3 on my board. Very well explained, as usual Mr Thorn, I wish you were around when I was struggling to learn what all these pedals did and how to combined and utilise them.
It seems like every guitarist testing noise suppression/gates turns into a super staccato player, when the true test of a noise suppressor is how it performs while a note sustains past the gate closing
That opener needs to be developed for a cd. Sounds incredible...the pedal is pretty good too.
I have a fender 2007 custom shop Stratocaster and cleaned up a lot of noise by replacing by dirty loose 5 way switch, I notice my tuner is no longer all over the place and stays steady when tuning, a lot of noise is gone and my sound improved greatly , I do have one of these if I need it, love that guitar 😊
Boss should have made a mode for noise removal - like the ISP Hum Extractor - because all these gates can't remove noise from quieter parts or edge of breakup tones. As a digital pedal, Boss had the opportunity here, and the technology could do this with the right algorithm. Pete, please demo the ISP Hum Extractor. Great playing as always.
This pedal has three modes; Gate, Reduction and Mute. Pretty sure the Reduction mode does what you’re wanting.
Also isn’t the ISP Hum Extractor like 2.5 times the price?
@@Fitzpa14 I hear the reduction mode as a gate function. The ISP Hum Extractor uses an algorithm to remove cycle hum from the core tone - so not by a noise gating function, but by noise 'removal' aka 'extraction', making it possible to play e.g. single coils without a lot of the noise you can get with single coil pickups. Boss could have taken the market if they made a similar algorithm for a lower price, in a much smaller pedal. It's only a matter of an algorithm, with the Boss NS1X already being a digital pedal.
I run this pedal in “mute” mode and for some reason it seems to be the best mode for not interfering with really quiet picking. Love this pedal - definitely a 10/10 in my noisy AF home studio.
Great demo, Pete, and absolutely *killer* track! FWIW, I own this pedal and run it in “mute” mode and for some reason it seems to be the best mode for not interfering with really quiet picking. Love this pedal - definitely a 10/10 in my noisy AF home studio.
My ISP Dec G strings is the most important pedal on my board... Sooo nice and quiet!
Awesome overview!!! 🎉 Thanks a lot!
Just got one, integrated on my pedalboard. Works great on my noisy JVM410C 😅
Excellent demo. Thanks Pete.🤙🤘
That was a very helpful video! Thank you very much!
As usual : great demonstration ! Thks
Great review Pete, explained perfectly.
Great demo as always!
Always lots of awesome🎸gear from the BOSS guys and gals. They all rock!🤘
Excellent demonstration. Some mean chords in there too. Thank you for both.
Most comprehensive review I could find that details the reduction mode in particular. Thanks!
Sounding Sweet PETE!! Killer Track Brother and great Noise Suppressor Boss Roland 🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🤠
Very cool I always used the ns 2 but this is even better. Fantastic video as always Pete. ✌🏻
Wow that's incredible! You cant hear any change in sound quality, like loss of Hi freq or anything. The sound is the same just without the noise.
And that even in a delayed echo situation?
Brilliant pedal dude! Thx for the info (you just sold me a pedal) and greetz from Germany :D
Great demo. Cheers.
Great demo. 4CM 👍🏻 Been an NS2 user for decades so this looks like an awesome upgrade.
I'm convinced. Gunna get this thing sometime this year : )
Pete... You are amazing!
Brilliant review and demo, very clear and easy to understand. Thank you, and on the strength of it I'm going to buy one.
Sounds pretty good Pete. Great explanations and demo. If my ISP Decimator II G String gates ever die, I’ll consider one of these.
AS always -- AWESOME...!!!!!!! Thanx Pete, YOU ROCK......!!!!!
Excellent demo! You did a great job explaining everything. I always learn something from watching your videos.
I hate hum and hiss from high-gain tube amps. Drives me nuts. This new Boss pedal seems to work really good.
Nice. I've been using the ISP Decimator G String for years and definitely swear by the upfront and FX loop config...I like the added control on this vs.s the G String
Been using this with my Eleven Rack and pedal board such an absolute game changer!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
I play metal with an SD Nazgul in my 86 Charvel Model II into a 5150 (with it's terrible and noisy effects loop) with a Tube Screamer in front and the Boss NS2 has been the best gate I ever used. In the dumps we usually play in gates are mandatory. Guess I'm upgrading.
Great Video Pete thanks 😊 👍
Love your videos, Pete. You explain things thoroughly! Love that. and of course, your playing just kills! Downloaded everything of yours I could get off of Apple Music!
Thank you!!!
I'm incredibly impressed with how flexible the settings are on this new Boss NS1X! I have used a couple of different noise reducers over the last few years, but they usually just have one method of reduction that is closer to gating. This Boss pedal seems to have a lot more options than the other suppressors allowing you the method of noise reduction or gating. I really think that I might have to pick this pedal up, just because of how many options to really customize it. I like that you can still allow a bit of background noise, just attenuate it enough that it isn't completely the waterfall. One thing that drives me bonkers is a noise reduction that I have to play around with for a long time to get it to sound natural for guitar and not like a standard noise gate. This Boss NS1X sounds really good and it doesn't seem to affect your tone at all. I started with Boss in the late 1980s and as more time goes on, I am almost coming back full circle again to the effect brand I started with. Really Boss has been knocking it out of the park over the last few years. Very cool! Thanks. Pete for the awesome demo!
Pete, cool video with awesome playing, as usual. In the FX loop post or pre time based and modulation fxs?
Hey Pete great video as always. Im wanting to run the NS-1X with my Gigrig G3 in both front and loop. What would be the best way to wire it up? Many thanks 🤘🏼
I've been using the Boss NS2 to suppress feedback playing amplified harmonica. The mute function offers a super handy bonus for when I want to kill the harp mic! This NS1X looks like it offers more control and even better results. Cheers!
That little trick at 1:03 almost made me fall out of my chair
I was on the fence about this pedal at first……do I really want to spend $200 on another noise gate? After this demo, I think it would be a good purchase. Thanks again Pete for another great video!
Hello Pete !
Great stuff as always .
Question
Could you share the wiring diagram for your signature Suhr, does it have a treble bleed mod and what are the value for the pots ?
Thanks
Always thye best detail!
Amazing Pete! Does it work in front of treble boosters and fuzz pedals?
Great demo Pete! Are you planning on using it in your live stage rig? It is really useful for taming the noise on P-90 pickups which was what I was looking for. Thanks again for another great demo!
My main concern is in the studio, so I will keep it there for those instances, when I’m playing parts, kind of like what I was describing in the video…
Very helpful!
Where in the chain would you place it? (No effects loop) After overdrive/boost? End of the chain?
I have an original Boss NF-1 Noise Gate from the 80’s. Haven’t used it since then either!
Jammin' riff dude!!!
Nice demo but would have liked to hear you using examples with more reverb trails. Not sure u heard any reverb, just a little delay towards the end?
Pete - understanding that the best way to use this is both in front of the amp and in the effects loop, if I have a couple of pedals in front of the amp, should I have the send of the pedal into the pedal chain (and the front of the amp)? Or is it best in that case to have the pedal connected at the end of the pedal chain into the front of the amp? Thanks!
What happens to modulation effects in the loop if it’s setup like this (4 cable) ? Would the noise suppressor be the last or first thing in the chain of the fx loop? How would it not silence delay or reverb?
Pete, when putting this through the effects loop, would you put delay and reverb effects before or after the noise suppressor? Thanks!
Killer intro song! I must not be playing loud enough because the only noise I hear is my horrible playing...
I prefer my reverb and delay pedals in my amp effect loop where do I put those pedals? Before the Send from the NS1X or in the Return back to the NS1X? Thanks in advance for any suggestions !
What about playing a long note till it die naturaly?
Does the NS1X kill the note sooner?
If I’m playing switching between clean and the dirty channel on my amp will it affect my clean tone at all or the sustain on my leads ?
Does it get choppy or intermittent issues if you roll the volume down?
If your amp doesn't have an FX loop, does this also work with the FX loop of the Fryette?
Man you got a great tone on this video Pete. Do you think this pedal is better than the TC version of this idea? I see great shootouts of gates and TC seems to be the one to beat.
I’ve tried TC Sentry, great gate but it doesn’t do the 4 cable thing like this
@@PeteThorn It has the send and return.
Great video and information. Been looking for a suppressor.
Glad I could help
Hi Pete
I am messing a lot with the volume pot on my guitar to get different tones.
Does thos method still work with the pedal or is the gate cutting the guitar?
Thanks from Germany
Matz
Can you compare it to the Fortin Zuul
Will this get rid of 60 cycle hum with the gate open?
How would you set this up if you’re already running a four cable pedal (Jeff Loomis Devil’s Triad)? Just patch it into that very pedal?
I think the 'reduction' mode would feel more natural because it simulates right-hand palm sting-muting more ... a softer attack.
I'm so sorry, that I just watch this because of your intro track!
Hi Pete!
Cool and efficient pedal!
However the previous models from Boss do the job too...
I've tried the m all, mxr smart Gate. Way overlooked. I run it in front.
Smart gate is great and I have used it for years, I actually have one in my guitar vault on tour just in case I get into a really noisy venue. But this will work both in front and in the loop as I demonstrate in the video, which is more like a Decimator and works to quiet Amp hiss as well as the stuff getting in the front end.
I’m trying to figure out with a plugin in my DAW (Pro G is the plugin) can anyone explain how I could do this?
Will it shut down a sustaining note like a noise gate does?
Seems to not do that, as long as I set threshold carefully
yeah, Boss' whole X series is out ahead of the pack in a few key areas.
i have had the NS-1X on my wish list already, that's a given.....but i am struggling on a different decision; involving, in part, one Fender Shields Blender .
moug-osh, you know how you feel like strangling people doing demos, for not running the controls the way you want them to ??? ( all the demos on youtube fail me )
and i can't figure out what i want to know from the PDF manual either. ( i wish everyone explained control operation like Pete does )
i just want someone to leave all the channel switches off, put Blend on 10, Engage Oct Up, Sustain on 1, Tone on 10. ( then incrementally notch sustain up, and tone down, until Sustain is on 3. and tone is on 7 .....so i can hear what's going on there )
Has anyone tested this with an amp that has no effect loop ?
Where can I get a "Because Pete Fuckin' Thorn" tee shirt? I don't want to have to just Sharpie it on one. 🙂
A lot of that buzz is coming from the ground loop created by using the gate in the four cable method. I have one of these and found I had to overcompensate with the gate to make up for the buzz it was creating. If you use an isolation transformer between the gate send and the amp input, it reduces the hum a lot so you can run the gate at lower settings.
2 things: 1- KILLER riff. And 2- you’ve convinced me I’m not fuckin batshit and that EMI is a real thing. Ok, I need one. Only question is, does it HAVE to be a Boss?
Hi Pete im a guitarist and im 22 years old you are an amazing artist really you are my inspiration i play with my guitar your songs every day i hope one day to see you at namm this year its my dream to play guitar with you 🤟🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐🤟🤟🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🌟🌟🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸I love USA
"EMI" getting in your pick-ups?
Damn those pesky record labels ;-)
Anyone have $200, my isp decimator x micro is having a problem. I don't like to diss them. But, the micro loop must be faulty.
Your computer screen(s) and camera are causing most of that noise. I have the same issue. I have to turn around when I record if I'm sitting in front of my computer. I also use a gate if need be but facing away from the screen cuts the noise down a lot. I don't create content for a UA-cam channel so if my back faces my sh*t I don't care. You obviously need to face the camera. Here's an idea, print out a life size photo of your face and affix it to the back of your head, or chair, in some form or fashion. So if you have to turn your back to the camera we'll still see your handsome face and square jawline. 🤨
Nah, in my building even if the power is shut off to the whole building I have this issue- I’ve tested it with a battery powered amp. The issue is the big power transformers outside on my street, I’m 99% positive
Weird, my reply vanished. In my experience computer screens definitely contribute to the noise level if you're sitting near them and facing the pickups towards them. When you turned away from your screen and camera in the video the noise level dropped a bit. At 4:47 you mentioned the quietest spot was facing your wall. I'm not saying the computer screen is creating all of it, but it definitely contributes to it. I've been watching your channel for a long time I really enjoy it. I used to play professionally myself. You can check my two audio clips out. I only mention that so you don't assume I'm a hack playing a Fisher Price guitar.
LOL Pete has noisy rig. steps on pedal.Pete doesn't have noisy rig.
you should've stopped the vid there.lol
