In terms of review structure, clarity of information, supporting visuals, this review is absolutely amazing and sets a benchmark for me across a sea of bs online. Definitely subscribed, amazing work!

[@michaelallen981]

THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@ey870]

I ended up with the TC Sentry - works really well for me

[@lynyrddeville]

I think your testing was spot on and my EHX Silencer is going bye bye tonight

[@joeymiller2633]

Lichtlaerm Audio, the key and the gate, noise gate. one knob, set forget. does not ruin your cleans, its as if it is off. reacts to your playing. lead playing shines through. best noise gate on the planet ! made by a metalhead for metalheads. built in volume/signal booster, if required, evens out your effects loop if needed, or increase a few decibels for long cable runs or just because you can. I'll never look back.

What a Great video man , just one thing the Revv 8 should have been there! Keep going man!

[@christianutter5383]

Good job! High quality content.

[@lennylewismusic]

Everybody sleeps on the Hum Extractor + DECIMATOR G because of the price, that thing is insane.

[@boimesa8190]

Just sucks that its so bulky

[@lennylewismusic]

@@boimesa8190 that and the power supply is not compatible with most of the modern Cioks and alike power supplies I had to use a separate ac10 Cioks power supply on my board just for that. Switched to the Revv G8 and when using single coils I have Emg’s now so I don’t have to worry about hum like before. Still a great gate/hum pedal though.

[@berndkiltz]

Wow, that was a VERY well made Video! Thank you!

[@unknown_user_2023]

Great video!!!

[@Shodanrua]

Very informative! I own the sentry!

[@LincolnCountyBand-st8yn]

well done video 👍

[@posthard-coreshorts]

Actually there's a hidden mode on the Boss NS2.
Plug it in as normal, set it to mute, disengage the pedal, and you'll see the reduction light is still on but you're signal is still coming through, and then you'll also notice the difference in how it gates the signal, the normal way is better but I found this method completely by accident. Hope this helps

[@DeformedDevices]

Thanks for this. I bought a cheap noise gate and I hate it. This helps me make the right choice.

[@Airtrooper719]

Dude you look like Eugene from Jinjer 😮

[@eatadick4127]

My preferred set-up has become a Noise Decimator G-String through the FX Loop at the front of the chain with a NS-2 at the end of the chain.

[@ManBunMetalHead]

That's interesting 🤘

[@andytrendy4841]

in my country used ns-2 costs 50-60$, i thinks its best choice for budget

[@billy_pirie]

🎯

[@DeformedDevices]

If you could share your matrix somewhere that would be awesome.

[@harshgarrett]

what about the Zuul plus?

[@MrGruenrock]

I turn a lot my volume pot on the guitar to get clean sounds and in between…
Does the BOSS work for that or does it cut off the signal when turning down the volume pot?
Which one can handle that?

[@roogz]

NS1X > NS2 just saying... only 2 I have 😅

[@sirduckoufthenorth]

12:52 ok sign instead

[@sirduckoufthenorth]

Pretty good video by the way

[@TheOlmecindian]

That MXR one sucks
