I got one, guy on ebay lied to me, claimed no cosmetic damage, and it has loads of chips in it and he over chargeed postage by �5.
But Im struggling to get it to cut out this hiss on my md-2, and it works if i do the send and return thingy, but do you HAVE to use it, its a bit messy :P |

The manual says you can just use the input/output and it will clean up any noise before it. But I have better luck using the Loop (sent/return).
I use it and loop all my distortion petals through it, it works great that way, cleans up any feedback and other white noise, especially when using 2 or more distortion petals together. I compromise the drop in sound by raising the level on the distortion petals. |

| I use it after my Keeley modded MT-2, and I prefer the 1st knob at 3 o'clock and the 2nd one at anywhere from 9-7 o'clock. |

I have to agree. i bought one about a week ago, used it in my board for a couple of days now it is out sitting in the box. it really didn't do what i was looking for it to do. |

| I've compleatly given up on the NS-2. I went out a got a Rocktron Hush, and I run that through my fx loop. It kills all hiss and it doesn't clip off the end of the note. I'm now on the lookout for an old Boss Noise gate for my smaller practice amp, as the Marshall I own is being used for one of my bands practices. I like the older Noise Gate as opposed to the NS-2. |

| I've had an NF-1 for ages. It just sits and works. I recently bought a second one so I can put one on each channel of my stereo chain. |

Okay people for anyone who is new to noisegates!!
A noisegate cuts out the noise WHEN YOU DO NOT PLAY.
The noise you get from your dist./overdrivepedals and you hear in between songs, well this noise can be cut out. The effect is almost like you bring your volume down on your amp to 0.
A noisegate will not cut out noise on your pedal when you play. It will not cut out your signal, if it would you would not get any signal at all and the result would be no music.
It seems that people get confused about noisematters.
The noise you get from overdrives and dist. pedals is the boost in signal and this will add noise. [put the volume on your amp on max, while you not play and listen what you get----NOISE!!!] A noisegate will not cut it out, it only cuts it out when you not play.
Oveal the noise from an overdrive or dist. is not really an issue when you play, because the white noise cannot really be heard, you only hear it when you do not play.
Noisegates are often used on recordings, so imagine a guitarplayer having to wait for a keyboardintro. Keys are playing while the rest of the band waits and comes in after the keys intro. A noisegate would cut out the signal of the guitar, and the signal will only come on as soon as the guitarplayer touches his strings.
There are many different ways to cut signal, and a noisegate is one of them.
All noisegates work similar, both Bossones are fairly accurate. I like the NF-1 for its simplicity, the NS-2 gives more options, but you may not need them really.
Okay hope this post clears matters a bit for some of you.
Good luck!!
