Boss Introduces the NS-1X Noise Suppressor Pedal
Boss has introduced the NS-1X Noise Suppressor, which they call an advanced noise suppressor and ultra-fast gate for guitar and bass. It’s the latest in their X series of pedals and features their Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology.
“Background noise can be problematic with guitar and bass, particularly in high-gain setups,” Boss shares. “The proprietary MDP approach in the NS-1X delivers fast, transparent operation in every application, eliminating the unnatural attack and decay artifacts that can be introduced with standard noise suppression systems. High-speed digital technology analyzes the input signal on multiple levels in real time, enabling ultra-detailed processing that provides the optimum noise reduction for any playing style or performance venue.”
The NS-1X has four controls – Damp, Threshold, Decay, and Mode – with a reduction indicator to display the noise suppression. Its Mode knob toggles between three modes: Reduction for gentle suppression, Gate for high-gain players, and Mute for killing the signal.
The Boss NS-1X is available now for $199.99.
