Powered by advanced BOSS MDP technology, the NS-1X intelligently reduces noise without affecting the natural tone and playability of your guitar or bass. Reduction mode keeps your rig quiet in any general setup, while Gate mode delivers ultra-fast performance to ensure precise high-gain riffs remain crisp and distinct. Versatile and easy to use, the NS-1X is an indispensable tool for solving noise problems when practicing, performing, and recording.
Groundbreaking noise suppression
Background noise can be a problem with guitar and bass, especially in high-gain setups. The patented MDP method used in the NS-1X provides fast, transparent operation in all applications and eliminates the unnatural attack and decay artifacts that can occur with standard noise suppression systems. High-speed digital technology analyzes the input signal at multiple levels in real time, enabling ultra-detailed processing that provides just the right amount of noise reduction for any playing style or venue.
Maximum versatility
The NS-1X has multiple operating modes, allowing you to fine-tune the noise cancellation to suit your needs.
Reduction - This mode provides gentle noise reduction that works with most instruments and playing styles. Tone decay is natural and noise-free with all pickup types, including low-output single coils.
Gate - Ideal for high gain sounds, this mode instantly attenuates the sound when no signal is present. The MDP provides a lightning-fast response that no other noise reduction pedal can deliver, ensuring a natural playing feel and punchy tonal attack for percussive djent riffs, sweep picking and legato tapping techniques.
Mute - This function turns the pedal's bypass setting into a convenient mute switch for instrument switching, tuning, and setting breaks. The NS-1X will operate in either Reduction or Gate mode when the pedal switch is off, which can be assigned using a simple power-up procedure.
Easy and quick operation
With intuitive controls and a multi-LED indicator, you can set your perfect noise cancellation profile in seconds.
Threshold - Determines the level at which noise reduction begins. In Reduction mode, start with the knob at the lowest setting and turn it clockwise until the noise disappears. In Gate mode, start with the highest setting and gradually turn it down until you achieve the attack response that feels right to you.
Decay - Determines when the selected mode reaches maximum noise attenuation. Start with the lowest setting, then turn the knob clockwise if necessary to achieve a more natural decay.
Damper - This controls the maximum amount of noise reduction. Higher settings make the noise reduction effect stronger and clearer. Lower settings reduce the strength of the effect, which can produce more natural results with some playing styles.
Reduction indicator - Shows the current noise reduction status.
Precise detection
The NS-1X circuit detects the signal at the input stage and activates noise reduction at the output stage. It works best when your instrument is connected directly to the input jack before other pedals. When using distortions, overdrives, and other noise-producing pedals, the most natural results are achieved by inserting them into the NS-1X's send/return loop. This allows the circuit to constantly detect the clean input signal while eliminating the noise from the pedals in the loop, providing the smoothest performance when you turn them on and off.

Premium noise cancellation for guitar, bass and other instruments
Thanks to its advanced digital processing and wide frequency response, the NS-1X provides excellent performance for standard guitars and basses, as well as extended-range instruments with extra strings. It is also an excellent solution for noise cancellation for keyboards and other types of electronic instruments.
MDP: Advanced technology, superior tone
BOSS's proprietary Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology is based on decades of research and development and provides a new approach to achieving exceptional tones. In real time, MDP analyzes the various elements that make up the sound, including frequency, harmonics, dynamics, pickup response and more. Various playing characteristics are also analyzed, such as tonal range, single notes vs. chords, bends, vibrato amount and more. Each element is then processed in unique ways to produce optimized tones as you play. With its ultra-detailed, high-tech approach, MDP delivers tonal quality and playability that far surpasses the limits of traditional effects processing.
