Where is YOUR noise suppressor?

[Varkatzas]

Beginning of chain? end?

Before or after your boost?

It's a super common question, and I am curious where you guy's have it.

I have mine before my TS9 because it seems to give my TS a little more "sensitive" of an effect, if that makes any sense haha.

My Decimator IS my chain. Guitar -> Planet Waves -> ISP Decimator Pedal -> Planet Waves -> 5150 -> Mesa 4x12

Simplest, heaviest damn setup ever.

 

[WarriorOfMetal]

Guitar -> modded TS7 -> VHT Deliverance 60 -> cab w/ P50Es

OR

Guitar -> Engl Savage 120 -> Ampeg cab with CL80s and WGS British Leads.

No noise gate/suppressor for me.

 

[CooleyJr]

My noise suppressor is in my V-Amp Pro

 

[petereanima]

guitar -> tuner -> TS -> ISP -> amp.

but it sounds interesting that your TS is mroe sensitive with the noisegate in front...i have to try that!

 

[Leuchty]

Guitar -> Wah -> MXR GT-OD -> MXR EVH Phaser -> Boss NS-2 -> Mesa Dually

Yup seems like the TS' knobs have more umph and drive if its after the NS-2. When the NS-2 is after, it seems like it kills some of what the TS is supposed to be doing.

In my Vetta or M13 or Spider Valve.

Usually, I run it in the beginning of the chain, and in some rare occasions, I add a second one after the preamp for an extremely gated effect a la Dimebag crunch.

yeah, with the NS-2 i noticed that too back then (thats why i swapped to ISP).

My noise suppressor is in my V-Amp Pro

^ This

Mine's an X V-Amp though...

Soon my 'Chain' will look like this:

Guitar > BOSS DD-3 > Morley Pro Series Wah > BOSS NS-2 > Randall RM100 > Rivera Knucklehead K412T

If anyone has any suggestions for a revision of that chain, let me know

 

[Fred the Shred]

Dude, insert the delay in the RM100's loop. I'd use something along the lines of:
Guitar -> Morley -> NS2 -> RM100 In -> DD3 -> RM100 return

 

[dpm]

Mine goes - Overdrives, Hush IICX Channel 1, Trem, Compressor, WMD Geiger Counter, Preamps, Hush IICX Channel 2, then post distortion FX.

I like the pre-gain gate to kill the noise produced by overdrive pedals. The post-gain gate just keeps everything totally silent, it's nice not to have excess preamp noise hitting a delay. Everything is racked and switched via an RJM Effects Gizmo so not in the chain if not needed. It's a quiet rig so the gates aren't essential but I'll generally have them on just to kill the hiss

Incidentally, the stock IICX will kill some treble, especially post-gain, but there's an internal trim pot on each channel that can raise the filter bandwidth above the harmonic content. Makes it very transparent

Of course

I'm tired

guit-isp deci-zw44-ns2-T2. i tried the bulbasors trick with 2 NS's and it works very well for me.but before that it was guit-zw44-isp-T2

 

[thesimo]

guitar -> e530 -> FX Loop -> G Major (its my only noise gate) -> Poweramp -> Cab

 

[Scar Symmetry]

Guitar > Boss TU-2 > Boss NS-2 > Send > Maxon OD-808 > Return > Boss NS-2 > Amp

 

[minusthemonkey]

Guitar -> Tuner -> Decimator G String -> Morely Wah -> Savage 120 -> loop out -> Decimator G String -> TC Nova Delay -> loop in

I like the using x-pattern. Little more djent for my buck.

 

[Rick]

Mine will be in my PODX3 Pro.

When I buy it.

For cleans and mild overdrive I use the gate in my GMaj2 which is in the loop of my Mesa. All my sounds are programmed in presets so the grittier the overdrive, the harder the gate. Then on my main distortion channel I have a NS2 infront of the preamp, but after my pedals. The OD and comp are quite noisey so the NS2 kills most of the hiss, and then the GMaj2 gate cleans up any noise from the preamp. 100 watts, full volume, silent rig
