How to connect Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor correctly

- This video shows how the Boss Noise Suppressor NS-2 and simmilar pedals should be connected correctly to other pedals. The idea is to get the trigger signal from the cleanest possible signal and do the actual gating after all the noise has been added. To do this, all the noisy pedals like overdrives and distortion are connected in the send-receive loop.

Notice how this guys primary language isn’t even English however he manages to explain the product better than those who are employed to sell it and only speak English?
by far the best explanation on youtube!!!!
Seriously, I just busted mine out to compare with a bird chord. Lol.
Agree
I just watched an Asian Guy do the same!! Crazy!
Take emselves less seriously and deliver content without the showbiz fluff.
This guy tells it clearer than the guys from Boss themselves.
Always trust men in knitted sweaters and sandals.
true,..
I've been using this noise suppressor wrong for months, I'm totally blown away by how much better this sounds. Thanks for the video.
Firstly thanks for the hot tip, secondly, socks and thongs.
Made my day, my ribs ache
Dead! 😂
Socknthongs
Literally explained it so simply compared to all of the other mainstream videos of the ns2. Legitimately perfect. Simple. Goes in here. Goes out there.
The other videos are confusing because they show you Three or Four different ways to plug it in and use
this is the only one that works correctly
I bought a used NS-2 that didn't come with the owners manual so I looked up the manual on Boss and your videos is so much better. Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video. Very appreciated!!!!

This is the correct setup, but if you have an fx loop, put the time/mod fx there and run the output of the NS2 to the amp input. (assuming you have all the gain pedals in the NS2 loop.) Remember, compressors and equalizers are also gain pedals.
very helpful. loving the socks and sandals combo
This guy explained it better than any of my guitar teachers have in 3 minutes.
If you use the amps effect loop I will suggest to hook up like this: Guitar -> NS-2 In -> NS-2 Send -> Amp In -> Amp Send -> NS-2 Return -> NS-2 Out -> Effects in loop -> Amp Return.
I have tried to connect this way from the beginning when I bought my NS-2 . As result - my Boss RV-6 is not functioning and the mute mode of NS-2 falls out (not muting at all). Where did I go wrong? Any suggestions? I simply don't get why it isn't working. Any tips?
@@PontLimon Make sure the RV-6 is last in the chain and after the NS-2. Unless you want to have gated reverb. Why the mute mode falls out I have no idea.
@@janivarsorby It is just exactly like you say and my rv-6 is the only one in the chain of "time and space" effects So, actually, it is the only pedal between the "output"of ns-2 and "return" of the amp. So everything seem to be right, except the result. I guess there's something wrong with my amp and I simply should forget the 4 cables method and make the loop inside of the pedal board instead, just like it's explained in the video. Afterall it works fine that way. Thanks for your help (*_*) \m/
@@PontLimon It sounds to me like the signal is not routed through the effects loop on the amp. Maybe there is a switch that need to be turned on.
I’ve been having the same issue did you work anything out??
BOSS should put this guy on there PAYROLL. He probably increased there profits on the Boss Noise suppressor pedal " by 95% !! 💰💸💰💸💰💸📉
If this guy did nothing else in his life other than this tutorial he would always be remembered as helping humanity. 2022
Very helpful video dude! Awesome shoes and sounds.
If you only have the NS-2 then you would probably just connect it between the guitar and the amp. There is no need to use the send-receive loop in this case. If you really want to be advanced and your amp has a send-receive loop, you could use the 4-cable method.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!finally someone explains it clearly!!!
I have an NS2 and while watching this, I've realised I've been connecting up my pedals incorrectly. Thanks for such a simple and very informative video.
just watched this last night and my problem is solved! Big thanks...
I connect my cry baby directly after the guitar, before the NS-2. The metal zone should be placed like the OD-1 is placed in the video, in the send return loop.
I picked up on of these used for $45. Did a search on how to use it correctly, your video popped up and wow! Works better than expected, thank you!
Ok, so I got the NS-2 a few weeks ago and I've yet to connect it properly. Yes, I'm quite the "noob" when it comes to connecting stuff like pedals etc. The pedals I use are the Digitech Hot Head, the Boss SD-1 and the Korg Pitchblack Tuner. I've tried to connect these to my amp through the NS-2 but it doesn't seem to want to work. Can someone please explain what should go where and how to connect the whole mess of a thing? Thanks in advance.
Daddeadline have you played with the threshold control knob
also did you watch the video cuz you did say in your comment but try your threshold otherwise I am not sure
When you are using your amps distortion the best connection is this: from guitar to NS-2 Input, from NS-2 Send to amp Input, from amp loop Send to NS-2 Return, from NS-2 Output to amp loop Return. If your amp does not have an effects loop just plug the guitar to NS-2 Input and NS-2 Output to your amp.
Thank you very much for this video. I bought my NS-2 used with no manual. I suspected I could use the send /return in a similar way but... you saved me a lot of research.
Nice guitar chops btw.
Damn I wish I would of watched this video before returning my ns2 to guitar center. I know there’s a lot of bad info out there these days from all the expert know it alls. I used their “X wiring” setup whereas guitar to ns2 input and send to all distortion pedals then into front of amp. Ns2 output to all time based fx then out time based to amp FXL
amp FXL send back to ns2 return. Sounded ok except a super annoying volume swell that kept happening.
You're the real maestro..now my NS-2 functional properly. Thank you so much.!✌
Even Boss corp. didn't know about this... Similar to Ibanez teachings on whammy floating tremolos and how to set them...
Very good vid. My pedal chain is: Boss TU12H tuner>Boss CS3 Compressor/Sustainer>Behringer T0800 Vintage Tube Overdrive>Marshall Jackhammer JH1>Marshall Regenerator (modulation)>Marshall EchoHead (Delays)>Boss GE-7 (EQ).
How would you suggest I incorporate the NS2 to 'capture' and reduce noise from the EQ - would I have to move the EQ to after the 3 gain pedals but before the GE-7 EQ?
I know this video is old but thank you so much. I use a lot of high gain stuff for extreme metal but once in a great while I like 2 mix it up. Thank you for the basic video and how to use this noise gate 😎👍
I'm not using an OD or distortion. All I want is the suppresor pedal in the chain. To shut my stupid Super Champ 2 amp up. It's loud as literal fukc.
Where would you put modulation pedals such as chorus and flange?
I just picked up a Marshall JCM 2000 dsl 100 with a delay pedal, SD-1 and NS-2. If I were to hook them up and run through the amp’s affects loop how would I do so in the right order ? Hope you can help. Thanks
Would there be anyway to reduce the noise of a high gain amp using this pedal? I play through a Gibson Les Paul into an EVH 5150 III head with a Marshall cab, and have always been curious if there's a way to reduce the noise of the amp itself...
I watched the video three times finaly got the right things pluged into the right place Works Great! even the Mute thing
works great
What pedals would you put on the noisy line with the overdrive? I have a wah, rotovibe, distortion, phaser, flanger, chorus, delay. I know the delay wouldnt. I've sat down and played with various but only just considering getting an NS-2 after 11 years of manual noise management that has let down my overall tone at times
Thank you very much.I've been going realy mad with the noise and connecting wrong.I also looked other videos but couldnt find any solution. this video helped so much.
help! is that yngwie doing the demo ( he uses THIS pedal) i would say yes..since he;s always seen wearing the footwear in this vid.lol if not educated guess would b jesus
It doesn't work for me..? I don't have a delay so I go directly from the output on ns2 to my amp. I realize that you have two different power supplies to the NS2, is it a necessity to use both?
What would be the correct order to running my digitech whammy and ns-2 I'm a drummer but have been working on the guitar for sometime now just not sure as far as the order they should be set up in thanks!!!
I have a metal zone m2 pedal so should I also wire output > return? I've realised when I use that one as the amp the sound is so much better, is that because of the m2? Never had that problem with my overdrive for example. If you know what I mean
The people who say this pedal sucks don't know shit.Yngwie uses this so it's pretty good.Guitar gogs like Yngwie don't use crap in they're rigs.Think about it.
One question i have a pedal board with two distorsión fuzz pedals and several delays pedal in wich pedal must be connected in the chain of pedals?
Should i set my tuner after or before the ns2?? (my setup so far is : tuner (tu3) , wah to input of ns2,> send to overdrive , distorsion , chorus... then back to return on ns2 then output to my amplifier.

Correct, this means that the noise supressor pedal goes after overdrive and distortion pedals, and works perfect. My noise gate is the NR 300 Behringer and it works like Boss NS2. Thanks Jan.
For the win 🏅 this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
Question... what if you do not use time based effects in front of the amp? Only distortion/overdrive/wah? Do you still need to wire the pedal this way? I have had mine for years and always just went input/output... never used the loops on it before.
All these demo videos are the same. Stop screwing in around with your guitar. We know you can play. Play clean single notes, so we can hear whats going on. As it is, its all noise.
I suppose the Digitech Whammy is best placed in front of the NS-2. If you use any kind of distortion/overdrive pedal I think it is more important if the Whammy is placed before or after that. None of the positions are "wrong", but will give different result.
So what happens if you have wah wah tremolo chorus and phaser? Do they go after the supressor and before the delay and reverb? Thanks!!
Mee no more speekee Engrish. No need! Now, mee only listen to what he say...
ok so that's why mine was not cancelling noise. thanks. others who make videos of pedal possitionning have got it all wrong.
hey so i have a wireless guitar system, ns2, overdrive, and a sonic maximizer that i run int he effects loop, how would you set that up?
any reason my reduction and check lights aren't coming on? No other pedals connected, sound is coming through but no noise gate at work, just regular amp noises
If i have an 8 channel looper switcher.. where would i put the ns-2.
I have a tuner- wah-compressor-OD-eq-harmony in the front, and a tremolo-delay-reverb, in the amps fx loop....... all running thru the looper with 2 different ins and outs. any advise?
how is the signal flow here? i put my OD in the position you explained, but it sound like there is dry signal getting through and the OD does not affect the whole signal going into the amp. i don't want that.
You sir are like some kind of Albert Einstein for guitarists aren't you? DANKE (THANKS!)
but i use a delay BEFORE my distortion. its the only way to get the "welcome to the jungle" sound. so this pedal is usless for me
I added a few more pedals in the chain after his example and I get no sound. love checked every padal and they work separately
I don t understand one thing....Distortions go in front of the amp, and modulations go into the loop. How does the NS-2 go in front of the amp and on the loop ?
what if i use the distortion on my amp? not as distortion pedal? But still have my delay work properly? thanx in advance
great!
Do I have to put my delay and reverb pedals in front of the amp? Does that work with a high gain amp?
+PugnaciousBadger I would definitely put my delay and reverb pedals in the effect loop of the amp if I have that option.
jävla bra video! Completely fixed my Metal Muff ultra-hum, didnt realise how to set up the send/return aspects
Спасибо Вам за видео, я купил такую же педаль, для меня это актуально, то как ее правильно подключить.
so i still put my delay before the dist. but then my reverb and chorus and stuff will go through the loop?
to this day, people are uploading instructional videos using noise gates incorrectly.
Nice sandals!! And thank you for the knowledge.
Best explanation! Thank you!
what if i dont have disto pedal but i want to gate my disto (from my amp)? your video are not complete
but by doing this, whats the difference? since hes not using any pedals, will it sound different?
Would you still run your modulation/delay through the amps fxloop?
Hey very good video but how do I conect it if I have metal zone pedal and a.cry baby pedal
Fucking awesome 👌 nice OD-1 by the way 👍
Hmmmm so many pedals etc ! Can’t they optimise or make it more simplified? 😨😰
bad English :) but other than that it's good to know how to connect correctly :)
With all due respect.. take a breather... youre about to get a heart attack...
Now, how to hook this up using a Boss 90x pedal board?
so then what goes in the effects loop? i thought reverb was one of them?
THANKS SIR JAN
Thanks !
I have to buy another jacks !!😃
guys dont waste time on oither tutorials , this is the only one thats coorrect
This is the best tutorial I have ever seen in my life
Jan - thanks for taking the time to help us sound newbies.
When you say 'from send on ns-1 to noisy pedals and compression', what is the sequence if you have both noisy pedals AND a compressor?
I would definitely put the noisy pedals after the compressor.
Jan Ivar Sørby I don't see the point, I mean, a compressor don't generate noise, it only compress de signal. Am I wrong? Cheers!
Andres Feher Voelger A compressor will reduce the dynamics, and in effect bring up the noise from the noisy pedals considerably.
@@n3kygames574 it compresses the signal INTO the noise from the pedal, thus making the signal and noise more similar in "volume."
5 years later
So what if you have a volume pedal where do you connect that ?
This method works great! Takk!!
Flag on the play! Socks with sandals.
thanks for this, was very handy..
how would you connect the ns-2 with just the amp?
i don't use any other pedals, just my amp.
Normally you would put reverb after the Output of the NS-2, but if you put the reverb in the loop you can make a gated reverb effect that can be quite cool.
This is great but...amp is still buzzing
so this is when NOT using the effects loop correct?
Great review...thanks 🙏🙏
i only use the amp distortion.. no pedals..
would i plug guitar into noise gate, then gate into amp input..
Yes, that is the easiest way. If your amp has an effects loop, you could try the 4-cable method, but I guess the simple approach is good enough.
Very helpful Video. Thank you
Well done mate. Taught me something
Is this work on microphone noise reduction
Should I put a flanger before or after the ns-2
Great video jan!! What order would i put my pedals in if ive got my tuner pedal in the line up? Would it be...
IN / BOSS TU-3 / NOISE SUPRESSOR / DISTORTION / NOISE SUPRESSOR / REVERB / DELAY / OUT?
Daniel Smith Thank you very much for that comment! That seems like a good chain to me. Keep rocking!
You are the BOSS
Great, thank you very much.
