Stop feedback/ Noise/ Humming sound using Noise Suppressor in pedal Chain and amp, NS2 Using Demo. 

Right? Best one yet

HAHA my first thought

Glad it helped!

Thank you for checking the video. I hope it does help many guitarists.

Thanks for checking out my video

Hello Rob, thanks for talking time to watch my video. This is something I enjoy to do. I am always happy to work on Guitar, pedal and amp related stuff.

Thanks, Marek, I really appreciate for putting your valuable suggestion. What you mentioned about the placement of the boost and compressor pedal is 100% true. In this demo, I focused only on the NS2 setup configuration and ways to get rid of humming noise.

Thank you Jose for checking out my presentation.

@@tonecraft5386 excellent video. Looked for option 3 set up in dozens of videos. All were super confusing except one from Elliott guitar Chanel and yours

@@allboutthemojo Thank you for your compliment and for taking the time for watching my video. I hope it will help many others. Let me know if you would like any other video. Comments are very appreciated. And definitely do subscribe to my channel for more videos.

Yes, You are doing right. This is an alternative way of doing for my option 1 set up in the video if you do have (send and return) in the amp, and do not have send and return in the Noise gate pedal.

@JDB, your way is absolutely perfect. Perhaps, I could have mentioned this way in option 1 in the video.

@@tonecraft5386 I’m always messing with stuff. I have the mxr smart gate which is the best pedal I’ve ever bought hands down. (I think any noise suppressor would be my favorite, it’s simply the one I bought) Unfortunately it doesn’t have the extra inputs and outputs to run things like how you have them in the video. Very cool setups you made.

@@jdb2722 Thank you so much for your comment. If you do not have extra send and return in your noise gate then you cannot do anything else besides how have been doing. Your way will be the best option as I have explained in the Option 1 method in my video. I always suggest buying a noise gate/suppressor that has send and return FX to use it effectively.

I really appreciate for your comments and taking time to watch my video

Thank you, Mark, for your great support.

Thanks for liking it.

You are very welcome @Brad Sims

You're welcome! Thanks for checking my video

I appreciate it.

You are very true. I had put the link as an alternative to option 1 in a similar way in the description but didn't think for option 2.

Through the FX loop right …that’s why they call it the ‘FX loop’ ?!?! 😆

@@thomasfarmer1730 Not in option 1 mate. LoL

Muito obrigado por assistir meu vídeo, deixe-me saber se você tem alguma dúvida relacionada a guitarra e pedais. Eu amo e gosto de explorar e ajudar as pessoas nisso. E, definitivamente, inscreva-se no meu canal para mais vídeos futuros.

Thank you @The Mustage Girl Band.

@@tonecraft5386 Thank you so much for this video. This is the best on FX/Suppressor combination video on RU-vid. Can you tell me, where should I put a loop pedal ? Thank you again.

​@@serhiiderkach8126, What kind of loop pedal are you using? Do you mean looper switches like Hotone Kommander or overdubbing loop pedal like Ditto X2?

@@tonecraft5386 thank you for your reply, I just tried the option 3 (even without loop) and unfortunately it's not working :( I did exactly shown in your video. I very desperate. Is there any way you could help me ?

Sure, what part of the globe are you in? I definitely would love to guide you. I am in eastern US time. I normally have time during weekends. Lets find a way to get connected and provide you a possible guidance. Just make sure that you are connecting the cable in correct place, like send have to be in send and return has to be in return.

Hello George, First thanks for checking my video and for your question. For the pedal like mxr sub machine, as it is actually a fuzz pedal, it definitely should go in the gain section, the octave parameter is associated with Fuzz which does produce higher or lower octave sound on top of Fuzz sound.

Thankyou Gerry, You are absolutely correct. Some of the modulation pedal sound better before dirt pedal. But in this demo I just focused on using NS2 properly with different options.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the question. In general, when you are using many pedals, I recommend using a separate isolated power supply as every pedal will be receiving individual power and will not interrupt the performance. Daisy chain wiring may not be a good option when you are using many pedals. However, in my experience, using daisy chain wire is fine with 6 -7 pedals depending upon the power consumption of every pedal, one more thing to make sure that you are using a power adaptor that has an output of 9v with high mA. In my experience, more mA, better the performance. For example, check the below link for Truetone 1SPOT 9V power adaptor. This adaptor is 9V and has 1700 mA which will perform excellently even with daisy chain wire. www.guitarcenter.com/Truetone/1-SPOT-Space-Saving-9V-DC-Adapter-1274115035973.gc?rNtt=9v%20power%20adapters&index=2

Don't waste your time on daisy chains for larger pedal boards. The noise is rediculous the ns2 can't even handle it

Very True thought.

Hi J T, Thanks for your question and for taking the time to watch the video. The "Send and Return" loop in your EHX Silencer is definitely different from your Peavey VK100's. The purpose of EHX Silencer's "Send and Return" is to detect noise coming from your signal after it's been affected (the sound from the dirt pedal in this case as explained in the video). The input of EHX detects more of the raw sound noise (signal before the affected sound) and cancels noise from the unaffected sound. So when you connected the dirt pedal with send and return loop. It will cancel noise coming from the sound before and after the sound is being affected and this is why send and return works better and more effective. On the other hand, any "Send and Return" in any amp, in your case Peavey VK 100's, just bypasses the power amp section of your amp. In this way, you can connect anything in between the preamp and power amp of your amp section. Please check my other video on the explanation to understand the preamp and power amp section.

Is your threshold switch set very high. This switch does cancel the noise but also lower the guitar output sound. so set only up to where you need to cancel the hum noise. As low as possible and use Noise suppressor only when you needed.

very Welcome Dan.

You are absolute correct on Compressor Pedal at the beginning of the chain, I kept compressor pedal in send and return of Noise suppressor just to demo on how to cancel the noise when Compressor pedal is generating humm noise. This is demo for noise cancellation using Noise Suppressor from the possible pedals that generates noise, I am not trying to demo the correct chain of pedal here. So I would suggest just to get an idea on Using Noise suppressor correct way to cancel humm sound from possible pedal.

Buying $2000 worth of gear and not knowing how to set it up is on YOU, dude. Learn before, not after.

They should have showed you how to at GC when you bought them' then all the fans would have stood up and cheered.

@Fr. Matthew Venuti, Thank you for the Good question you asked. This is something I missed to discussed in the video. Normally the looping pedal has to be in the last in the chain to record every kind of desire sound. In option 3 in my video, if you put the looper after the reverb pedal which is the last pedal in the chain order, will be the best place so that we can loop all of the desired sound and play. Please try and let me know. Thank you again.

Hi, Your comment and question mean a lot to me. It is confusing when you first start but the more you mess with it playing your guitar, it's so interesting. All guitar players are different and usually, they just keep only the pedal that they really need. Its not necessary to keep every pedal. Noise Suppressor is placed after the pedal that creates feedback, that is the reason why it is placed in the middle of the rig, and technically it's placed after any kind of Overdrive/ Fuzz/ gain pedal. Modulation and time pedal placed after the distortion and fuzz as we do not want any kind of modulation or delay or reverb sound to be Overdriven. My sound is amazing with how I demonstrated in the video and just would like to share the info. I hope you would be able to rock your sound.

Hi Kimson, You technically can put the Volume pedal anywhere. When you have at the end of the pedal chain, in your case, after reverb and connected to AMP return, it will control overall volume. There is some case, I know many guitar players including myself, place volume pedal before delay just to get the delay effect to feel even after turning off the volume pedal. This method is applicable when you play swell effect.

Yes, definitely That is the actual purpose of option 2 in the video.

De nada, no olvides suscribirte y darle me gusta.

The maxon808od/tube screamer is boosting the amplifiers distortion.it will give you higher gain and more definition. So it does make more distortion

EQ pedal can go any where. I can't tell you where to place your eq pedal without knowing how is your guitar tone and our OD/DS tone. My simple suggestion is, First check you clean guitar tone and if you want to change your guitar dynamics in term of eq. Put it between guitar and OD/DS. If you like your clean guitar tone dynamics and want to change the OD/DS dynamics, then place it after the OD/DS.

Hi Jasons Guitar Jams, Thank you so much for your question. As per my understanding, Microvibe / UniVibe technically belongs to the modulation category so it should stay after the gain pedal. But having that said, I have seen many guitarists use Univibe before the gain pedal and they point out that the Univibe tend to sound more creamy and warmer sound-wise. If you see Hendrix, he uses UniVibe after Fuze (gain pedal) but he does use amp gain as well to get his sound, so amp gain is working after Hendrix's Univibe sound. So my suggestion is depending upon which amp or what level of gain you are using in your amp, try your Microvibe placing before the gain pedal and after the gain pedal. Also, check how much gain are you using in the amp? Try below 3 ways and also try with low/mid/high gain level in the amp and see which way it sounds best for you. a. Guitar---> Univibe---> Gain Pedal --> AMP b. Guitar---> Gain Pedal--->Univibe---> AMP C Guitar---> Gain Pedal ----> AMP ---->Univibe (Place it in Send and return of amp)

@@tonecraft5386 Thank you so much for the reply and detailed information. It is much appreciated. Cheers!

you can put EQ depending upon which pedal sound you wanna modify. Personally if i need to suggest, in 4 cable method, EQ will be effective to put between Amp send and NS2 Return, in cable 4 in the option 3 video. In my opinion, modulation and time section pedal has nothing to do with the EQ, but the clean sound and OD/DS sound might need to be controlled by EQ.

Hi munkyenima, thank you so much for the comment, and i am so sorry for the low volume level in the video. I realized way later after i uploaded it. I am always happy to discuss about guitar sounds and pedal. Please stay in touch. And let me know if you have any question. I ll love to share what ever knowledge i have.

Thank you sir! You are a gentleman and a scholar! I appreciate the professionalism you display and the knowledge you spread for the guitar comunity! Keep up the great work! 🙏🙏🙏 Another great video by the way!

@@munkyenima Thank you so much for your such a positive attitude.

@Mike, What are the pedal are you using along with the OD in your chain? That would help me to answer better.

@@tonecraft5386 Well right now I have a Boss TU-2, Mr. Black BB-74X, Original Marshall BluesBreaker, Boss EQ, CAE Booster/Line Driver, Ibanez HW TubeScreamer, Boss SuperOverDrive & a MXR Blue Box. I just wanna use the Bass OD to highlight the bass distortion signal.

@@cubfan909 As I tried to understand the pedal that you are using. And I am understanding that you are trying to get distortion-type sound. But I see you have all OD pedal and Fuzz pedal. Out of the pedals you mentioned, (Mr, Black BB 74X), (Ibanez HQ Tube Screamer), (Boss Super OverDrive), are Overdrive Pedals and (MXR Blue Box) is a Fuzz pedal as per my understanding. You need to understand that Overdrive, Fuzz, and Distortion are completely different types of pedals. There is no way to sound like distortion sound using multiple Overdrive pedals. So, if you would like to have distortion sound. You must have a Distortion pedal. And as I have mentioned in the video, Tunner is good to place in the first, EQ pedal depends on which pedal you wanna have a change in the effect. A boost pedal is best after OD/DS, but it's a personal preference. For me to understand your desire distortion sound, would you mind telling me the name of the song that you like which contains the exact or similar distortion sound. That way I can help you or suggest you the right pedal to get first then you can start getting your desire sound.

@@tonecraft5386 I'm not trying to run all of them at once, just trying to find one to match with the Bass OD for a good sound. Also, I'm running all these through a Budda SuperDrive 18. Thanks for the help bruh \m/

@@cubfan909, Sorry for the confusion, Looks like you are looking for the sweet spot in our pedal and amp for your desire sound.

@Skinny Karlos, I really apologize for having trouble for you to hear. That happened to be low during the recording. Please turn your system volume to max and use headphones. That will help you for better audible sound.

@@tonecraft5386 Headphones might be the best bet. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for checking my video. I have many guitar amps and DSL40 is one of them. The amp technically has nothing to do with the sound-sucking thing. I guess you have Threshold level is high in your NS2. Set Threshold level to where it does cancel the noise. I put mine around 9 or 10 o clock level and It does sound perfect without sucking any sound. Remember, the more you increase the Threshold level, it sucks sound.

@@tonecraft5386 Thank you very much. You re very helpful!!!!

Hello Hernan, Thank you so much for watching my video and for a question. Can you tell me what is the model of your Peavey classic 2X12 amp? I can check online what kind of input/send/return does that amp has and I can suggest exactly which option you can follow. Also its better if you can tell me what are the pedals you are using. Thanks

Puedes poner el volumen en cualquier lugar. No hay un lugar específico para el volumen. La mayoría de los guitarristas ponen el volumen al principio pensando que corta el sonido justo después de la guitarra. Pero según mi experiencia, puedes poner en cualquier lugar cómo se ajusta la pedalera al pedal. No tiene ningún impacto en el sonido general.

@@tonecraft5386 Gracias, tomare tu consejo

Hello @bnoyz3, Thank you for your time watching my video and for the question. As just my personal suggestion, If you are using an overdrive pedal as a clean boost in the last option (option 4 the video), you can place an overdrive pedal between compressor and amp Input. But if you are using an actual boost pedal, I suggest using between amp send and noise suppressor return. With my personal experience, boost pedal response more effectively placing after the of gain. But if you are not using any gain, then you can place at the beginning of the pedal chain order.

Hi Ralf, First Thanks for your comment and for taking the time to watch my video. I personally never have used a midi controller. I am primarily a music lover and Guitar player, So I can help and discuss only with the thing related to guitar and pedals related to guitar. Again, I am so sorry that I am not able to answer your question.

Thank you so much for such a good question. Just my personal opinion is, EQ can go anywhere depending upon which pedal sound you would like to make a change. I personally have placed after dirt sound and before mod and time pedal. Also, as per my understanding, EQ should go along after the preamp section. In my diagram presentation, all options have preamps used through an amp in different ways. For Example in the Diagram of Option 3, the preamp section (which is basically on the amp) is used after the Dirt pedal. In this case, I would say EQ might work effectively after the amp section. So, in this case, I would like to suggest placing EQ either between Amp 'Send' and Noise Suppressor 'Return' OR Noise Suppressor Output and Modulation section.

@@tonecraft5386 @Tone Craft thank you so much. i was following option #2 and i was confused on where to put my eq.. just want to ask again if you dont mind. i have a behringer vtone gdi 21( guitar amp modeler-driver-di)and a zoom msbt 100, im trying option #2 which goes like this eq> wah> ns2 input, ns2 output> dd3> zoom msbt 100> amp... then ns2 send> metal muff> ds2>sd1> eq> behringer vtone> ns2 return.. am i doing it right? hoping for your reply. tnx
