#Boss ns2 manual#
In a admission of guilt, I never realised until yesterday that the GT6 had a noise suppressor! Because it wasnt listed under the FX1 or FX2 in the manual I assumed you needed to use the antifeedback FX to kill it off. I dont actually get feedback when iam playing which is why I only wanted to supress when iam not playing. This can be helped simply by draping blankets on walls or using proper acoustic baffling (get's really expensive). If you spend most of your time in a small space and feedback is an issue, dampening the room may very well help as the reflective aspects of a small room compound the issue. Nothing will gate feedback unless it's a over-grown Parametric EQ where (as suggested) you can dial down the dominate feeding frequency(ies) and yes likely alter the tone. It's no different than if someone pulled a distortion pedal out of the box, plugged it in and said 'it's too loud' without adjusting the unit for balance, in the GT8 preset to preset.Īdding a noise gate to a GT8 that already has a noise gate is silly. Various volume differences in the GT8 are the owners fault! If someone's annoying an engineer it's because the engineer knows someone doesn't understand the gear. Volume pedals will also cover this and I believe the GT8 has one. You must learn to use the volume control on the guitar to control this. Does it do it with all your guitars? What kind of cab do you have? What type of other effects are you using? When does it feedback? Is it controllable or just an instant high-pitched ntrollable feed back is fun!įeedback is a given in high gain, high volume environments. It will stop feedback my muting your signal when you are not playing, but won't do a thing for feedback while playing. I just dont really want any unneccessary digital devices in my signal chain unless I have absolutely have to. I was thinking along the logic of that If I set the threshold right I could stop the feed back before it gathered too much volume, which is the way I would expect it too work. That was part of the understanding I had for a while - but ive seen it work for other guitarists. I reherese and gig with different amps because of the volume limitations I need to reherse. However if the tone you are liking is because you are just cranking the amp and the tone controls nothing will help. An Eq pedal may help you notch out the offending frequencys.
They basicaly turn off sound below whatever db level you selelct.ģ. Noise gates are for eliminating hum and background noise. I have spent an age screwing around with the anti feedback on the GT6 to no avail, so now iam considering a noise gate, I know the NS-2 from boss has some kind of signal buffering but I know the high/low cut in boss pedals is normally drastic compared to their analogue counter parts, has anybody else got any opinions or views on this that could help me out?Ģ. Iam kinda limited by how far I can stand away as our practice space is small, and I do need to have it that loud as our drummer is totally ballistic. I was just hoping it would save me buying a noise gate - I running duncan designed humbuckers in a lespaul copy, but more to the point the EMGs in my seven string are just as bad. I could not agree more with you on the matter of the GT6 - I dont actually use it for anything anymore, other then tuning, in which case I have it on the side not actually connected to the amp in anyway. You may find that standing farther away from the amp helps too. You should have some feedback, but not uncontrollable feedback. Cheaper quality pickups will squeal like a banshee when near an amp with high gain and volume. I think you should be looking at perhaps replacing your pickups (which may not be potted).
#Boss ns2 Patch#
So to clarify, a noise supressor will not 'destroy' your tone any more than the GT-6 you already have hooked up.ĭon't get me wrong, I have a GT-6 which I mainly use as a backup nowadays and it is powerful.but I am just sick of the distortions and massive volume changes when switching from patch to patch (soundguys hate that).
Why worry about a noise surpressor when you already are digitzing your signal.Ī noise supressor is nothing more than a gate which lets your signal come through when it senses you push it over a certain threshold (when you are playing). Think about it, you have a DIGITAL pedal which converts all of your analog guitar signal to digital, then procesess it, then converts it back to analog to run to your Guitar amp (unless you are using the 4 cable method of hooking up your GT-6 which does let you have a amp preamp stage first).
If you are worried about destroying your tone because of digital effects you should be thinking about what that GT-6 is doing to your tone.
