How to Connect a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor

A Boss NS-2 noise suppressor will reduce unwanted noises and hums generated by your guitar or bass. Connecting a Boss NS-2 noise suppressor is much like connecting any other effect pedal to your instrument. However, you should consider where to place the noise suppressor in a chain of effects pedals. For instance, placing the noise suppressor after a reverb pedal could mitigate the pedal's effects.

• 1

  Plug an instrument cable into the "Output" jack of your guitar or bass. Insert the other end of the cable in the "Input" jack on the Boss NS-2 noise suppressor pedal.

• 2

  Plug another instrument cable into the noise suppressor's "Output" jack. Plug the other end into your amplifier's "Input" jack.

• 3

  Adjust the "Threshold" knob on the noise suppressor to determine the volume at which it will activate.

• 4

  Adjust the "Decay" knob to determine how quickly you would like the noise suppressor to lower the volume level.

• 5

  Select the "Mute" setting if you want the pedal to mute your instrument when the signal drops below the set threshold. Select the "Reduction" setting if you would like the pedal to reduce the signal of your guitar or bass (based on your "Decay" setting) when the signal drops below the set threshold.
