R.I.P. Phil.

I am happy with my Boss NS-1X because it does what I wanted from it, which is to clean up the non-musical sound of being plugged in to a heavily boosted overdrive. I can now make abrupt stops in my overdriven playing and it goes quiet quite nicely. I figure it does everything the NS2 does and more.

What I'm finding is if I'm playing clean then I don't really need the NS-1X activated and possibly take away some dynamics of the clean sound. But if overdriven a bit I can have the NS-1X on Reduction mode and it helps. If I'm extra overdriven with any heavier distortion then I definitely have it on.

Hmm. All of a sudden it just wasn’t as good. Made sure it wasn’t the fault of the added patch cables but everything was good with the connections. Switched it to Noise suppressor first in chain with the stuff in loop including the FreqOut and it wasn’t any better than the FreqOut 1st then into Noise...

Kind of a mixture of my preferences and advice I got and this is what I came up with. Guitar into the DigiTech FreqOut feedbacker > into Boss NS-1X Noise Suppressor loop send through Tube Screamer, Compressor, Tube Screamer > returned back to Boss NS-1X > out to Morley Wah > out to Boomerang looper ...

Trying to figure out how to best order these, if I should use the 4 cable effects loop method with the Boss NS-1X Noise Suppressor peddle, and what peddles to put in that loop if I do. An OD before compressor is unique from the traditional OD after Compressor, and I like some of each accessible. I s...

Day 1 with my new pedal. I decided on the Boss NS-1X Noise Suppressor pedal. Was close to siding with the ISP Decimator II G String that was recommended to me but I figured I’d like more knobs and options to play with and the NS-1X seems to let me more so dial things in. I’ve seen and heard both goo...

So I think I'm gonna acquire a Boss NS-2 or a Boss NS-1X for a Noise Suppressor Pedal. If I understand correctly the NS-1X can accomplish everything the NS-2 can with some added features if I want to spend the extra dollars on it. ​Pictured below are the pedals my PRS runs into from right to left th...

I have been working on it some. A bit of progress maybe. Bookmarked a ton of stuff and have been thinking more musically. Thanks for the tips.

However that FreqOut belongs 1st in the chain.
