News
The NS2 effectively eliminates noise and hum of the input signal while preserving the original sound's tonality. The natural attack and envelope are unaffected thanks to Boss's unique noise detection circuit that precisely separates the guitar sound and the noise components. When connected to an AC adapter, the NS2 can supply power to 7 other Boss effects units via the PCS20A power connection cable(optional).
About Boss Pedals
The history of Boss reads like the history of guitar effects. From their legendary CE-1 chorus pedal (the big gray box that started it all) to the world's favorite line of compact pedals, they've been responsible for more guitar innovations than just about anyone else.
Boss's compact pedal line-up began in 1977 with the classic OD-1 Overdrive. Its warm, smooth overdrive sounds and breakthrough Boss pedal features (heavy-duty construction, rubber pads on top and bottom, recessed control knobs, silent switching, a built-in LED, and easy battery replacement) immediately set it apart from other stomp boxes on the market. It established the masterful design for all other Boss effects pedals since.
Throughout the years, Boss has continued to define the cutting edge of guitar effects. Double-layer circuit boards allowed pedals like the DD-5 Digital Delay to deliver studio-quality effects comparable to rackmount units. They recently brought bassists and guitarists the first bass synthesizer in a compact pedal, the SYB-3. On their 20th anniversary they proudly introduced the OD-3 Overdrive, a pedal that takes the smooth, dynamic overdriven tones of the legendary OD-1 to a whole new level. Like all Boss products, it is a level of sound quality and durability that is unrivaled.

Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor and Power Supply Pedal Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"Read the instructions! A very good product!"
Feature:
Don't really need too many features on this. What's on the pedal is all you need.
Quality:
It's a Boss pedal and it's built like a tank.
Value:
For the price I got this for it was worth every penny. Get a daisy chain to supply other effects pedals that you have.
Desirability:
I got tired of hearing the unwanted noise from my amp at shows and band practices, so I wanted this pedal.
Sound:
I keep reading a lot of reviews about how it kills your tone. The only difference that I've noticed was just a little bit of a volume decrease, but all I have to do is turn it up louder. I am using this pedal on a 200W Traynor tube amp head and a Marshall 1960A cabinet. It will definitely kill the unwanted sound immediately.
Ease of Use:
It really wasn't that hard to get it setup. But I will tell you right now, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! It will tell you what the knobs do and how to set it up properly. Once I read the instructions I set it up in no time.
Overall:
Since I own the Metal Zone pedal, I expect this to last for a very long time. I've only had a few effect pedals go bad on me, but they weren't Boss products. If it ever went bad on me I would definitely buy another one.

"Clearly, your noiseless solution is the BOSS NS-2"
Feature:
The NS-2 offers the option of powering additional pedals using a 'daisy chain', which is very useful. I placed the 'decay' knob at the minimum, which makes me wonder why it's even there. I wish BOSS would combine the NS-2 and the CS-3. This would save me some time and space.
Quality:
BOSS and beauty don't really go hand in hand, but this pedal along with other BOSS stompboxes are built like little tanks- reliable like a Honda and tough like Ford
Value:
Price is very reasonable for the rewards and benefits of use
Desirability:
The pedals looks decent. I wouldn't have purchased it if it resembled a cookie.
Sound:
Before commenting on the BOSS NS-2 I should describe my rig: Mexican Tele w/ vintage '54's, NS-2, TU-2, Xotic RC Booster, Xotic AC Booster, CH-2, back to the NS-2, and finally to a Fender Blues Jr. Every guitarist is familiar with the infamous 'buzz' or 'hum', which is usually a result of single-coil pickups or simply electricity. Why wouldn't anyone buy a 'noise suppressor'? Let's take the "Hush" pedal for example. I experienced a great deal of sound degradation and returned the pedal an hour later. My guitar lost its natural tone, punch, and harmonics. So I figured that all 'noise suppressors' acted the same way and quickly lost interest in any such product. I recently put this rig together and gave 'noise suppression' one more shot. I picked one up and I love it! My sound is hardly affected. I keep the 'decay' at a minimum and put the 'threshold' at around 11 'o clock. This way the hum is barely detectable even in a quiet room by myself and my Tele still has its twang. This is the pedal to get. Essential for all guitarist. It's like taking the heartburn out of hot sauce and keeping all of the flavor.

Overall:
This is a keeper and if something happened to it...I'd buy another one.
