Boss has gone ahead and launched a high-tech noise suppressor in the form of the 'NS-1X,' a guitar gadget that is designed to make it easier than ever for instrument players to go about exercising a greater degree of tonal and performance control.
The 'NS-1X' is a noise suppressor that boasts Boss's proprietary Multi-Dimensional Processing system which makes it possible for signals to be monitored across levels in order to go about proactively reducing noise without in any way having a deleterious impact on the natural vibe and sonic qualities of guitars and bass guitars, which is an issue that other less technologically advanced noise suppressors are known to suffer from.
This particular noise suppressor has a trio of key modes that include muting, reduction and gating, with the last of the bunch designed to increase response and thwart sound when there's no signal.
"Thanks to its advanced digital processing and wide frequency response, the NS-1X provides outstanding results with standard guitars and basses and extended-range instruments with additional strings," Boss noted, although it importantly added that the system also offers a ton of value and control when used with instruments such as synthesizers and keyboards.
