You need a shark tank page Nick.

This is a pretty great idea, honestly.

i dont wanna spill all the deets yet but i wanted to do a charity pedal giveaway thing this year so i wanted to persue some options regarding payment.

I'd have to assume that's allowed. Does the charity have no way of setting up an online payment through you?

Anyone using a noise suppressor on their board currently?
My shit is getting noisy with the Rat and TS going. It's friggin' annoying.
I've never even thought of putting a noise suppressor on my board before.

What are the cons about it?

Three ways to do it from worst to best but it all depends, as a gate in the front of your chain, as a gate at the end of your chain, 4 cable method using the loop in the noise gate.

1. If you just get pickup hum and it stops when you turn your volume down then you can just put a gate first in your chain. Works ok with a single coil guitar that buzzes a little.

2. Put the gate after your dirt in your amps effects loop and set it to clamp down hard. This is the Helmet method and works great if you always run the same dirty sound all the time with maybe a solo boost. Doesn't work if you run a lot of different pedals or clean sounds because the gate needs a stable level feeding it so that you can get the threshold set.

3. Best method, use the loop in the noise supressor. This works best if you have a bunch of dirt pedals. The gate goes first in the chain and you set the threshold to your guitar, then send to your dirt pedals and return back to the gate and then out to delays/reverbs. The clean signal from the guitar controls the opening and closing of the gate so it always acts the same no matter what pedals you have on, but the gate is on the loop so you can have 3 fuzz pedals on at the same time and it will still be silent when you stop playing.

Chain: guitar > tuner > in - noise supressor - send > octave > od/fuzz/fuzz/fuzz > return - noise supressor - out > delay > reverb > amp

I have mainly used the Boss NS-2 and it only works well with the 4 cable method using the loop. For a straight gate method I'd use a regular gate. For hiss removal in an amps effects loop I'd use a hush or a Decimator ($$).

No, without going into more details thats all I could say for the moment.

if the regulars in here dont like me posting about my own stuff I will not post my stuff here. However i dont want to get a shark tank page here either way. People can let me know.

We just use volume pedals to mute the signal when not playing. Works really well once you get into the habit of using it. Also works great for song parts with a bass, guit or drum solo. Cheap, no affect on tone and effective.

+1 thats what our bassist does instead of NS, and it works for him even running a Rat King into a Rat, or Rat King into Big Muff.

My opinion: you and skip are the doom room regulars. Post away. Keeps me from having to go to too many other threads

I try to balance out the posts about my stuff by also posting other things and or helping people with their problems and or whatever arises. I dig that as a builder there is always a thought they hey this dude is just spamming the forum here for buyers so I can dig that idea some people might get. If someone has an issue, just let me know in a professional way.

Currently rocking all single coils. Feels good man.

I did however get my tech to order a super distortion for my tele bridge and now I'm apprehensive, but it's already in transit and he's a friend so I don't want to piss him about. Always second guessing myself if I have time to mull anything over.

Don't take it to heart man. Personally I enjoy watching your builds progress and trying to figure out what you have going on with them. I think most of the folks that post in here are a bit more interested in knowing how things work and exploring the technical aspect of getting the sounds theyy are after.
On a personal note. Nicks taken time out of his busy schedule to respond to my questions about getting a broken amp running and has set me on the right path to fixing stuff.
I appreciate that.
It'd be a damn shame to loose that because of asshats who never post in here deciding it's "spam". If nick was a large company and not just nick and hired some random to post pics here, that'd be different.

Don't get me wrong, you give great insight and input for sure. And I do admire your work very much. Just thought the Shark Tank suggestion is a good idea. But I understand not wanting that.
