BehringerNOISE REDUCER NR300 Ultimate Noise Reduction Effects Pedal

I am a recent convert to Behringer's products and I am impressed with the quality of their pedals for such relatively cheap and affordable prices.Even with my own `modest' guitar/amplifier/pedal board set-up the `NR300' makes a substantial difference. It is currently sat in the effects chain after the `UF300 Ultra Flanger' pedal and when powered on it drastically cuts the irritating and unwanted background hum that is otherwise present from the `UF300' (even at low volume).There are controls to alter the `Thresh' and `Decay' settings of the Noise Reducer and two specific modes of use are available - the `Reduction' that I use which, as referred to above, virtually silences any annoying noise, and `Mute', which, as it might suggest, cuts all signal once activated.Although I am still learning the guitar and am some distance from being competent enough to consider performing anywhere outside of my own living room, this particular pedal has made a big difference to myself when using my practice amp.Overall I believe this is a good value product and, for me, it does exactly the job I expected it to do.

This device works well and does exactly what it is supposed to. As another reviewer has said, if you only use top of the range pedals and leads then you probably won't need one of these. However, my other 4 pedals are Beringer and the leads and power supply are Stagg, so I do need some noise reduction. So if I were giving out stars just on its performance as a noise reducer / mute pedal then it would be 5. But there are some niggles.Another point also raised by another reviewer is that the Behringer instruction leaflets do not cover all aspects of how to use the Send Receive loop to go across pedals. It's simple enough once you know but I recommend downloading the user manual for the Boss NS-2 which is essentially the same product. Their schematic shows how to connect up the pedal train including a reverb pedal and a tuner which is not explained by Beringer.Now for my gripe about the design of the case. All Behringer pedals have the input on the right and output on the left so that a pedal train signal will run right to left. However, the Send Receive loop connectors are in the same orientation so one has to have longer patch cords which cross over in order to fit the loop around the pedal train. If Behringer would just swap those two sockets then shorter patch leads could be used so reducing some unwanted noise and messy lead arrangements. Not something that should put you off buying it but just be aware you will need a couple of longer patch leads.In summary, a good product which at £15 was excellent value but some better instructions and a simple re-design would make it an excellent product.

For the price of this pedal it shouldn't be this good. It's on par with other more expensive similar pedals.I chose this over some others because it has a send and recieve loop. Gate the noise early but set the threshold on how it sounds later in your signal chain. Best of both worlds, almost like having a gate at 2 points.The pedal has a reduction and a mute mode on it. I use the reduction mode because I find the mute mode works a little strange.In reduction mode you can turn the pedal off and it bypasses. In mute mode the pedal gates the noise when it's OFF and it mutes your guitar when it's ON. That is weird to me but I guess it could be useful for some players.

Terrible. Boss NS2 clone it may be but get the Boss even if thats average at best. This eats your signal and sustain much moreso than an NS2. It robs tone as well. Unusable in reality. The taper on the pots is terrible. All or nothing.There are some Behringer gems, TS808 clone being king, but this was just a pale imitations of the average at best NS2.

This product is excellent.It does exactly as it promises to do and does it very well.It stacks up very well alongside the Boss equivalent noise reduction pedal (itself a great item but at a premium cost) for a fraction of the cost.It does not have a metal case but is certainly robust enough. If you look after your kit anyway this is not an issue since you will seldom need to switch it off. It surprises me when people talk about stuff getting wrecked - perhaps they don’t care about keeping kit serviceable.Behringer make some excellent and very affordable products, this being one.If you are looking for a noise reduce to calm down the noise from distortions and overdrives etc, this item will do it very well and you will save yourself the better part of £70.Just to say that as usual, Amazon are a fabulous company to deal with - item delivered barely 18 hours after the order.

Does the job for the most part. Very fiddly but cuts the feedback between songs.

The Behringer NR300 Noise Reducer Effects Pedal is one of those pedals that people like myself who buy too many effects pedals for their guitars end up buying. If you put your really high quality effects pedals together in the most correct order possibleand use only top quality connectors, you will possibly not need one of these. However, old stomp boxes that we get attached to and dodgy leads can make one of these an almost compulsory purchase. Put it in your effects chain before your delay or reverb pedals and after all the distortion and fuzz boxes and it will be at its best for you.It is NOT a sexy pedal in that it doesn't do superb audible things that the audience will pick up on, like a good wah pedal will. It IS however, the best way I know to stop everyone out front from giving you funny looks because all your pedals are noisy and hissy and sound horrible and amateurish.Make sure you use the correct output from this pedal and all will be well. I consider it a little money very wisely spent and it has averted many problems for me.
