NS-2 or ISP Noise decimator??

[Shinodax]

hey guys,
i really hate the humming noise coming out from the amp after all the compressor, drives and boost engaged. Which will be the better choice between these 2?? thx.

I was in the same dilemma as you before. After asking many softies about their opinions on the NS-2 and ISP Decimator, my decision is to go with the Boss NS-2. I'm saving up for one.

You might want to check the Beta Aivin NG-100 too. Subversion uses one.

 

[ddaggi]

you should go for NS - 2....that will be my choice

 

[funktastic]

do note that such units will cause a reduction in tone as well as sustain.

for a start, before so readily spending money, how about finding out the source of the hum.

those noise supressor will cover up/gate it within the setting as set by user whatever noise/hum when you are not playing the instrument. And when you are playing, heh, the noise hum is still present, but just that with the playing, most likely our mind wont register it in unison with whatever sound we are getting from the guitar

anyway, source of hum ranges from cable of amp(2 pin or 3 pin) to wiring/grounding of geetar, radio frequency interference(RFI) to external factor such as close proximity to crt monitor, power source, neon light and so on.

To utilised the noise supressor fully, theres a need to address the source of the hum and if able to minimise/rid of the hum(through knowing where the hum comes from) , using of the noise supressor wth gentle setting will ensure that your signal wont be affected too much. A noise supressor with extreme setting will affect your normal signal while doing its job of "covering up" the noise(yes its covering up actually, not getting rid of the noise/hum)

i think i shall go for the NS-2.. cheap n good. thank you every1 for the advice.

i think it's coming from my OD n compressor plus im using single coil so there's even more humming. actually compressor contribute the most to the humming.

might not be true.

your compressor might merely enhance whatever noise that is already present in the signal chain.

it might not be contributing the most

 

[Shinodax]

haha.. yeah.. it enchance the hum therefore i must reduce the hum.

Dont need to use any of those.... Control your gain...

this is the answer to all ur problems.

if its the hum coming from ur pickups thats really bothering you, try noiseless single coils, or single coil sized humbuckers.

 

[Shinodax]

hmm.. im using a single coil humbucker on the bridge then i split coil to have the thinner single coil sound therefore all the humming jump out.
