Larry Marseglia I fully agree. Best guitar gear show. I have learned so much in a short (and in guitar universe, a few years is short) period for absolutely free. Not 1 shop will take the time to explain even 5% of what these amazing guys do. This show deserves so much more subscribers. Now I'm going to order the TPS shirt Mick is wearing. Thank you so much guys!

Getting the Boss NS-2 installed on my board has been a game changer (all my gain pedals going through the NS-2 loop). I'm working with a singer who is sensitive to amp noise and this is a great solution as well as helping in with the textured ambient playing I like to indulge in at home. Even playing in a regular reggae band, it works a treat. Every now and then I switch the NS-2 off to see what its doing and wow the noise is loud, and definitely not missed. And it's important to note, when you are playing the amp hum and the noise of the single coils are fully there in the sound, so nothing is lost. Many thanks as always TPS for a great overview and information!

Hi, how do you set all your gain pedas through the NS-2 loop?

This is going to be such a useful episode for so many players out there. We get emails every week from people asking about how to rid noise from their systems so I'll be pointing a lot of folks to this video. I like Mick's point about single-coil hum being a part of that guitar's sound.

For a time I thought the buzz from my amp was a power supply issue. Nope. It was the effects loop of Marshall JCM and an ESP noise suppressor did the trick. For high gain patches, I need to loop in a TCE Sentry to kill the bad frequencies that come up in the gain. To know all that hiss, crackle and buzz is not there anymore does make your tone cleaner, more palatable. It's subtle, but its there particular the higher volumes you go.

@EverettDudgeon138

I think the issue is less to do with the single coils themselves but the hum that’s increased when it’s run through pedals and amplified. I use both your SlideRig and Cali76 pedals..the larger format versions. Running a SlideRig into a wah into a Fuzz and into my modulation pedals. All that with my Strat (even with noiseless pickups) sounds incredibly noisy and as such I’ve struggled to record using that setup. I’ve just been using my Roger Linn Andrenalinn iii pedal and just going direct. I really don’t think the argument of “its part of the guitar’s sound” is practical when you are trying to get the best guitar sound in a home recording sense.

@EverettDudgeon138

6 жыл бұрын

I would say the ISP Decimator G String is the best noise suppressor/gate on the market today. For me it's not so much a problem with the guitar itself, like I said I have noiseless pickups in my Elite Stratocaster but soon as I run it through my SlideRig and into a Fuzz it's noise city. Living with the noise or accepting it as part of the guitar's sound is a bogus argument. It may be all well and good in a live setting or if you are in a punk or Grindcore band but it's not realistic when you are laying down a guitar part in a score for a motion picture or when it's so noticeable in the mix to the point where it's distracting.

Important episode - thanks for doing that. The need for clean and isolated power can not be over emphasized. I learned it the hard way 🤬 Dan has been very polite in not mentioning it - I have no connection to the company whatsoever but I wanted to say: his modular GigRig power system is just the absolute best solution out there. Small, light, powerful, clean, modular ... just absolutely stellar ... my wallet is in pain after buying so much of it, but it is worth it. All noise, hum, cable mess, daisy chain troubles are history now. Trying to save money in the power system is not the way to go. If the pedals are worth it for us, the power must be too.

@applemanuk

Totally agree. A quality power supply with isolated power is the way to go. So may guitar players object to spending money on their power supply and wonder why their set up sounds crap when they get tons of noise, hum etc. I use the T-Rex Junior it’s an awesome power supply and I run half a dozen pedals with zero noise.

I love when Professor Dan takes us to school! I must have watched the VCPI episode half a dozen times when putting together my first pedal board (after 20yrs playing guitar) just to make sure I understood what to do about noise and such. Thank you guys for all the help! Much love to everyone involved

Loved this episode. It is so much better now with me recording via a clean amp with a power brick instead of daisy chaining. Always find the shows useful from you guys. Thank you. :)

Excellent episode guys. Just hearing that you guys are actually getting the same noise that I do and that it is normal alleviated so many worries. You also presented great solutions. Thanks so much. On a side note, the lighting is improving as you guys are getting used to your new digs. It looks a lot brighter without sacrificing warmth. Keep it up guys and thanks as always.

I can NOT thank you guys enough for the amount of info shared in this medium format. VCPI episode and this made me feel like I went to audio engineering school for rockers. Absolutely brilliant! I will have to live with that single coil hum, it’s just that sound. Tone chasing is a never ending quest.

Saw the NS-2 in action today and went out and bought one used at my local shop... best $40 I've spent on my board.

I've been wanting an independent video on this subject for so long, thank you guys so much for giving me the info I need so I know what do to when I look for pedals for my dream board

I am always amazed as to how you guys take what seems to be a simple pedal, into a science experiment, AND have it all make perfect sense. I have a whole new respect for power isolation and when to use a gate (even if the hiss got really grating at times - lol). And one thought, might be good to put a cabling graphic up when talking signal chain. I'm not sure I get how it was setup, but would be nice to see it visually. Thanks guys!

Don’t forget the merit of the in-between pickup positions when using single coils. I’ve had to change all the lighting in my studio due to interference from transformers. This is such a great subject guys thanks for covering it.

It's like, Dan shows his metal/shred roots once in a while and he's at home. He does the blues kind of stuff and stumbles because it's not his thing. Just shred Dan, SHRED AWAY. Mick, you can chug decently too tho

Great episode. Sometimes I watch tps just for fun, sometimes it’s to solve a problem with my guitar tone. Today was the later, and I’m glad I did. I need to tame down the noise from my combination of boost and fuzz. I’m not a super high-gainer, but I like being able to roll my guitar volume knob to get anything from thick fuzzy goodness to chimey OD. The Land Devices harmonic percolator is perfect for that, but especially with my always on dirtyish boost in front of it, the noise is massive (even with an isolated power supply, MXR Iso-Brick)!

Hey Daniel and Mick, the TC gate is probably the worst gate ever to take as an example. And you’re right Mick noticing a difference in loosing frequencies, when turned on. It’s a shame you didn’t have the ISP G-string, because it is by far the best gate pedal on the market.

Top notch vid, I as a metal guitarist have been Ummming over the sentry gate pedal for at least a year as mine only cuts the obvious sound and therefore ruining attack and tone and this has helped me decide to take that plunge and just from watching this vid I've confirmed what my main signal issues are...just the kind of info I've needed recently so this vid was a treat!

Came here because of last week's VCQ and, man, I'm so glad I did. Learnt so much. The daisy chain is in the bin! I now have a power brick. Dan you're a legend and thanks to both of you as always 👐👊

I use the Boss NS2 and the TC Sentry for specific purposes (ideal for synth pedals like the EHX 9 series). Mick noticing that the Sentry changed the tone is spot on - it's digital so therefore there is A/D conversion and some latency, hence the phase change Mick noticed. TC don't publicise this but this is how they can do frequency gating in the digital domain. The Boss is totally analog with a colored sound. The Boss is not capable of hard gating and It is not intentionally changing the frequencies either. It is really an Envelope Controlled Amp. This means that the amplitude of the gate follows the amplitude of the input signal. That can be either very useful or very annoying. Saturated signals basically are brickwall limited and don't have much dynamics left. The NS2 can be used to impose the original guitar dynamics onto the saturated signal. But for synth or metal sounds we may not want this. That is where a hard gate can be much better - where the gate is either on or off like a switch and does not change the dynamics in between. The TC can do this. The Decimator is pure analog signal path whith sophisticated hard gating which is why I believe it rules for metal. At 52:30 when Mick notices that the reverb is gated he is correct. It is the NS dynamic behaviour that was letting some reverb through but when he damped the strings the reverb got shut off too. Time based FX don't make much noise and could be inserted *after* the noise gate but still in the amp FX loop. That would allow the reverb tails to ring out fully and mask the hard gating. Some metal guys use two noise gates but I don't see the need for this if it's done correctly with the clean envelope detection immediately from the guitar, and the actual gating done immediately after the final dry sound stage but before any wet FX that need to ring out. Great show :)

I used to need a noise gate....isolated power from gig rig and a G2 has made me forget all about that 🤙

Great shows as always, gentlemen. Thanks for the content.

One thing I should add. Once setup for your particular rig you can leave it alone. But before I do a tune you reset the decay knob with a minor tweak to just get the right perfection for the tune I'm doing and the pedals I have selected. I can tighten up parts of tune like when playing chords for backing a vocal when I use a medium gain OD. It makes all the parts I play come off like the sound you hear on recordings where the engineer has cleaned up all the slop. I couldn't live without them. Without them the overall sound sounds crude and amateur.

Loved your approach to this complex topic about noise - you guys are always teaching me new things - nicely done! I just started using a TC Sentry for my P90 LP when pulling high gain out of my Marshall amp. Easy to switch the Sentry off when the gain is dialed back and its not needed. I just run it in the effects loop, but I will have to try the setup you used today. That Boss noise suppressor did a nice job as well ... hmmm. Loved that P90 guitar Mick! The creamy tones you pulled out of that guitar were amazing! 60 cycle hum is something to be embraced, not feared :)

Really helpful advice here. As a Worship guitarist I’ve struggled keeping the noise down with drive pedals / single coil hum but then had issues when doing volume swells where the first part of the note is lost... sort of have a love/hate relationship with noise gates etc and as my playing has progressed I’ve also come to the realisation that without is better and knock the volume off when not playing! So glad you guys are on this same wavelength! I guess I’ve learnt a lot from you guys over the episodes! Thanks

thank fuzz it's friday!

I find the 1 spot pro 7 to be a great power supply, I've never had noise issues using it.

Great show (again). Thanks. Humble request here please: Might you be able to put up on screen a "napkin-sketch" of the signal chain/path at the end of each vid.? I know there's a lot of the G2 wizardry going on, but when Dan said the guitar goes into the NS, is that direct and then the out of the NS goes into G2? Or is there a loop out from the G2 going into the NS which then does a merry dance around any number of combinations of loop/pedals then split into humdingers then back to the input of amp(s) then... etc. For me a very basic sketch would be most useful in the learning curve... Thanks again.

Another great video. Being a metal player I knew pretty much everything covered but still enjoyed it. Obviously with you not playing in that world you don't need these pedals but its not always possible to turn down the volume in fast start/stop parts & that's where gates etc are essential.

I really appreciate this topic. I play a lot of metal and hardcore and it has taken me years and years to come to terms with how giant crunch and clipping gain sounds are produced AND perceived.

George Richards It could be. Make sure what you use is the proper volts and ma(milliamps) for the best result. Does your Vox have a Bright, or second channel, that gets more of the noise? Because your using a Marshall in a box style pedal, with your Vox, so you want to have your amp set right as well. Wampler will answer questions on his channel quite often, maybe email him. It doesn't hurt to try. Did you see the episode the boys did on Fuzz/distortion with Vox amps? It's a good one you might find interesting, if you haven't already.

I love how Dan is trying to make a serious point *Mick reaches over and drinks out of comically large water bottle* actually though. That thing must be a half gallon of water! Hydration = Tone

Great show. My only problem noise is the preamp on my old Boogie for some mainly acoustic type gigs. I use an NS2 rigged the same way as here with the preamp in the NS2 loop. I set the NS2 decay to minimum and the output then goes to delay, reverb and looper on the board before going to the FX return on the amp. Delay and reverb tails sound so good when not competing with background noise!

I use a isp decimator in my loop just for when I am using a strat with high gain. Helps with shrieking feedback, though I do play a 100watt peavy xxx in my living room these days.

keep in mind that having a meter that shows how many cents off-pitch a note is can be crucial for some musicians picky about intonation/temperment. Check out guitarist James Taylor's youtube video on how he tunes his guitar. Honestly I can't hear the difference when I follow his oddly specific instruction vs standard tuning. Some people have 8 strings with a fanned fretboard, and the advice may not apply to them. Others rely on a trem/whammy to fine tune each note they play and DGAF about tuning.

I think the Petrucci quote is from dialing in his Mesa mark 2c+s. His Mark series amp has pre gain stage bass eq. so turning the bass up makes the amp flabby and farty. Thats why there is an five band graphic Eq post gain for adding in bass. this makes the bass tight and much cleaner. Petrucci has a lot of bass in his sound but it is tight and controlled.
