Members jumpduck Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 I've been looking into noise reduction lately. I use a number of stomp-boxes, and I'm wondering if anybody has ideas as to the best way to reduce the buzz, hum, hiss, whatever, with the least effect on signal, since all these devices in the chain are no doubt sucking my signal anyway. I play in a situation where I must have many different sounds at my disposal, and I just can't seem to master multi-effects processors. Plus, I like my analog boxes. Any advice appreciated, thanks, fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members troubbble Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 Could you try a loooper type of thing or a bypass loop on the bad ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I have a TS-9 I use for big soaring leads, a DOD stereo chorus, a BD-2 strictly for clean boost, and an old TS-10 for my distorted rythmn work. I put an old Dunlop Cry-baby in the chain as needed, This all goes to a 78 Fender Princeton reverb, which is run at low(2-3) volume for a basic clean sound.The big problem comes up with the overdrives, as they tend to hum when they're engaged, but I'm not pushing signal through them. I just figured you guys would know if a suppressor or a noise gate would be best, and maybe which one. I'm pretty limited as to my ability to shop around.Thank you again for your advice.

Members ScreamCage Posted November 3, 2005 Members Share Posted November 3, 2005 i suppose a noise gate would do it for ya. if you're tight on space, go for the Guyatone NS-2. if not, a lot of people use the Boss. you could get amp modeler, and use the gate in that. it'd also open you up to some extras you could just add to your sound. i have the tiny Korg Toneworks modeler ($50 at Musician's Friend), and i just set it on top of my amp, set it to noise gate, and plug my rig into that (instead of my amp), and then from there into my amp. works great for me, and it's cheaper than most gates out there.
