Boss Noise Gate NF-1
The Boss NF-1 is a noise gate pedal designed to reduce unwanted hum, hiss, and noise from a signal chain. Its primary control is a Threshold knob, which sets the level at which the gate closes; signals below this level are muted, while signals above it pass through unaffected. The pedal operates in a straightforward manner, with a single input and output for mono signal routing. It features a compact, durable metal chassis typical of Boss pedals and is powered by a standard 9-volt battery or an optional AC adapter. The NF-1 does not include an effects loop or stereo capabilities, focusing solely on gating the input signal to clean up the sound when not playing.

- This is merely alright, i don't have any basis for comparison but i think this gates waaayyy too harsh, if used with guitar the gate only works with the threshold at 1 or 2
- Good Points: Does gating, but not so good for guitar, have yet to try it for anything else
- Bad Points: It stops harshnoise!
- Price Paid: US$12.00

- A Noise Gate helps keep the signal quiet when you don't play. It sets a threshold where it filters out any sound.
- Good Points: Can tidy up fuzz easily. You can get some cool settings if you set your volume right at the point the gate works.. you get these stuttering sounds.
- Bad Points: It can kill sustain and on heavy gating goes "pop". My only complaint is I got two and they both gate completely differently. One is a really hard gate and the other is pretty soft. Anyway one work better before fuzz and the other after fuzz.
