NF-1 Noise Gate

I use it between a SansAmp PSA1.1 pre and a Eden WT-300 amp. The sansAmp is on high distortion and is very noisy, so the noise gate is very helpful here. Basicly works smoothly, does not cut the tone, but when the signal is not much above threshold, the beginning of the signal can be cut. However, I think all gates work this way and this needs to be considered while playing. The decay could be a bit shorter than the shortest setting available. With this box it is impossible to reach a gated metal guitar sound, because the decay time is too long.

seems very reliable. I bought it on Ebay, dont know how many used it before. but it looks very old. Still, no problems at all.

Two knobs, what can go wrong with that...

Very good for my use. I use it to get rid of the preamp hiss at times when I dont play. but a gated guitar sound cannot be achieved with this noise gate.

I'm using this in the EFX loop of my marshall 9004 preamp, and when I turn it on it cuts all hiss and squeel ( the lead channel is noisy). It also helps with getting a gated flange sound, and can be very useful to a lot of other applications.

I think i can depend on it for a long time to come.

Two knobs, and five minutes to set it up. easy? yes it is.

I'd say the NF-1 is a good noise gate. I like this better than the NS-2, but i might buy an NS-2 just to be safe. A good Pedal that's cheap as hell in the used market.

i have a horribly noisy amp, the 5150 head is infamous for the amount of of unwanted feedback and hiss it produces. I use simply an EQ pedal in my effects loops and the amp distortion cranked to about 6 (thats like 11 on most other amps) and this GREATLY reduces the hiss and completely eliminates the feedback. I can actually let go of the strings for a bit without worrying about the deafening squeal. Only gripe is that it reduces gain ever so slightly on the most intense settings....which u should be using anyway.

its an old and used and still works fine.

very simple, 2 knobs, on & off.

greta value, picked mine up cheap and used, had it for a year and no complaints.
