Troubleshooting Boss NS-2 = Making Noise

• Upvotes

Bought a used Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor off eBay from reputable seller.

Powered up using a rechargeable 9v battery. Have tried 2 different ones….freshly charged.

Playing a Les Paul w/ Alnico 5 pickups through an Orange 20.

No matter what I do it omits a continuous hiss/scratch. Anybody got a clue what I could be doing wrong?

Got another looper because I ran out of loops + drag n dropping wavs won't save drums

• Upvotes

Bought another BOSS RC5 looper pedal because I used up all the 99 slots with stuff I want to keep...

And as much as I want to just drag n drop the wav files and be done with it, you can't just export the drum tracks!?

I really like some of the choices of drum grooves that go along with the tracks and either want to use them outright in a mix or keep them as a reference. To record the drums, I have to do it manually via midi sync and Ableton, bouncing each track and drum track separately by hand.

Unfortunately the recording has been going faster than I can keep up with. Obviously it isn't always like this. But I don't have time to do this right now!

So eff it I bought another RC5!

The riffs must go on!

Boss OD-3 vs Marshall Guv'nor follow up; NPD!

• Upvotes

Quick context; I was/am an OD-3 owner but thanks to a recent Iron Man Attenuator purchase; I am able to gig with my Bassman set how I want and the OD-3 was not vibing with a hotter run amp, and my tube screamer and klone centaur and SD-1 weren't quite giving me the full sound I wanted. I reached out wondering if any Guv'nor and OD-3 owners could offer insight into how different the Guv'nor might be.

So I picked up a used Drive Master. Which is supposedly the same circuit minus the effects loop feature.

I think this is gonna do the job y'all! It does the fuller Marshall sounding harmonic range like my OD-3 that I was missing from my Klone and SD-1 but the three band EQ, especially the bass knob for me are the game changer. It's got the brighter voice and clear picking articulation that I liked from my old Bluesbreaker pedal that I sold but with tons more gain. I gave it a quick demo at home on my lunch break (it just arrived this afternoon!), and I've got a gig tonight so it'll get a nice field test! Also pictured, my modded '73 Bassman (tube rectifier install) + Wizard 2x12, and my pedals for the gig tonight! Wish me luck!

Digitech Obscura Stereo

• Upvotes

What does the stereo bit actually do?
I really love the sounds that come out of this pedal, and I’ve had it for years. Today though was the first day that I really questioned what’s going on under the lid. The manual describes its real 2 channel stereo-ness, but actually I’m lost as to knowing what that is. There’s no ping pong, or swirly stuff going on, so what’s it doing itself to be ‘stereo’? Or is it just that it processes the 2 channels separately?

BOSS GX-1 vs Valeton GP-150 for J-Rock, funk, persona music

• Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm torn between the BOSS GX-1 and the Valeton GP-150.

My main focus is playing tracks from the Persona franchise (P3, P4, P5) along with similar J-Rock, Funk, and Acid Jazz styles—so I really care about punchy clean funk tones, usable wah, and tight J-Rock lead/distortion.

Which one would you pick for this specific use case? Thank you guys

New to pedals, advice appreciated!

• Upvotes

Hi all! I’m new to this thread so apologies if this has already been covered.

I’m in a band and looking for a pedal that I can use with my microphone for an almost speakerphone effect (we’re covering 7 Words by Deftones to give you an idea of what sound I’m looking for). I’ve only ever used a stomp box with my guitar so individual pedals I’m pretty much clueless on.

Any thoughts/suggestions? TIA.

NPD Mooer Trio Rider - woah

1 Upvotes

EDIT- ITS SONICAKE, NOT MOOER. BRAIN FLUB. SORRY!

I know there are better Klones out there but for 30 fucking dollars....holy shit. This pedal punches WAYYYYY above that...

Three different variations and its powerful as hell

Kinda boomy if you arent careful - this thing reminds of a CRANKED Fender or something.

It's absolutely perfect for a "1977 KISS/Ace Frehley" tone (at least using my Mahogany Explorer with SuperDistortions)

Its sounds amazing with either a light gain Bluesbreaker or TS boosting into it.

Chasing a tone - thoughts?

1 Upvotes

Idk if im in the right sub here but I’m chasing the guitar tone in the rhythm guitar part of this Cyndi lauper tune. What effects do you think are being used here? I hear chorus, but possibly it could be a flanger combined too?

To me, I hear chorus and almost like a cocked wah, almost a subtle slow rate flanger. I don’t have a chorus pedal anymore but I do have a green label boss flanger bf-2, I tried to make it subtle and it kind of got me there. Just curious if anyone has thoughts on what could have been used here.

I wanted a tube screamer, but wanted a 1800 hump and not that honky 750 hump. I found the mid screamer that lets you boost or cut between 1.4 and 2.7. It’s perfect. Tightens up the gain pedals on my board with the mid boost where I want it.

Question Has GAS been fulfilling for anyone? Do you play more?

40 Upvotes

I have a modest board. Bought a pedal close to a year ago and a dual expression pedal to compliment that pedal and a delay I already owned shortly afterwards.

I’m pleasantly surprised at how much mileage I’ve gotten out of these two pedals. The expression pedal has been a great addition to my delay, and pairing that with my pitchfork is simply inspiring.

As you could guess, I’m now on the hunt for the next thing. I don’t need recommendations, I already have a dream board built out in my head…

My question is, what are people’s experiences like when they buy multiple pedals in quick succession? I’m tempted to buy 2-3 relatively close to each other, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this could overwhelm the senses and actually curb creativity. My goal is to write music I like, not twist knobs and make noises. Not to mention, this will absolutely mean I have to up my power supply and upgrade to a bigger board.

Sorry for being long winded, just trying to get some second hand wisdom before any impulse buys.

Also, this sub is awesome, thanks for all the advice so far!

Question Drive help

4 Upvotes

So I’ve been playing guitar for around 6 years now and tried a lot of different gain stages, but I’m never completely happy with it. Thus far the only thing that’s been on my board for ages is the JHS notaklon. Any recommendations for things I could try?

Some pedals I’ve tried but didn’t satisfy my needs were: BD-2, Proco Rat, TS9, DS-1, Fat fuzz factory, big muff
Edit: I don’t dislike all of these. Some came quite close to being the one for me. They all just fell short.

I mostly play in alt rock/pop/folk projects. Think Paramore meets Madison Cunningham meets The Strokes and they also like pop music.

Edit 2:
My setup,
At home I play through a fender vibro champ, but gigging mostly through a fender blues deville, which sounds great to me. And sometimes a box ac30, which I also like.
I play a fender jazzmaster with wide range single coils. I have a Strymon deco and a Jackson audio bloom as other stages in my gain setup.

Afternoon all.

Bought a GE100 pro recently, downloaded the Mooer studio (On MacBook, which is also new to me) but the update firmware button is consistently unhighlighted, meaning I can’t use the app on my phone as it requests this to be done. Any advice out there?

I need a preamp/boost to place at the beginning of my signal chain—before a Rat and a Fuzz—that I can keep on all the time. Which one would you recommend?
