Noise No More
Tame unruly background noise with the Boss NS-1X Noise Suppressor, powered by cutting-edge BOSS MDP technology. This intelligent pedal silences noise without compromising your instrument's natural tone and playing feel. Whether you're practicing, performing, or recording, the NS-1X is your essential tool for noise-free sound.
The NS-1X utilizes BOSS's proprietary MDP approach to deliver fast, transparent noise suppression. Unlike standard noise suppressors, the MDP technology ensures a natural attack and decay without unwanted artifacts. It analyzes your input signal in real-time, offering precise noise reduction for any playing style or venue.
This pedal offers three operation modes to cater to your needs. Reduction Mode provides gentle noise suppression suitable for most instruments and playing styles. It maintains a natural note decay, even with low-output single-coil pickups. Gate Mode is perfect for high-gain sounds; it silences noise instantly when no signal is present. Achieve a natural playing feel and sharp note attack, ideal for percussive riffs and techniques. Mute Mode turns the pedal's bypass into a mute switch for instrument changes, tuning, and set breaks. Assignable to either Reduction or Gate mode for convenience.
Easily customize your noise suppression profile with intuitive controls. Threshold sets the level where noise suppression begins. Decay determines when the selected mode reaches maximum noise suppression. Damp controls the strength and clarity of the noise reduction effect. Reduction Indicator displays the current noise suppression status.
The NS-1X works best with your instrument connected directly to the input jack. For pedals like distortions and overdrives, insert them in the NS-1X's send/return loop for the smoothest performance. This pedal isn't limited to just guitars and basses; it's also an excellent solution for keyboards and electronic instruments, thanks to its advanced digital processing and wide frequency response. BOSS's Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology redefines tone quality and playability. By analyzing various sound elements and playing characteristics in real-time, MDP optimizes tones, offering exceptional sound quality beyond traditional effects processing.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Boss NS-1X Noise Suppressor is a game-changer for noise control, combining precision, versatility, and ease of use to ensure your performance is free from unwanted noise. Elevate your sound and enjoy a pristine signal with the NS-1X.
