Behringer NR300 Noise Reducer Pedal

Excelente producto, funciona súper bien ... Lo recomiendo 100%

I bought the Behringer NR300 Noise Reducer and the Behringer CS400 Compressor Sustainer at the same time. (My comments are identical for both pedals.) For me, this pedal does a great job at 1/4 the price of the popular competing brand. My official rating is 4.5. I'm docking 0.5 point for the difficulty in replacing the battery (details later in this review). By all means, check the other reviews for their impressions of this effects pedal.I'd like to address some things I haven't seen in other reviews. Based on my experience, you MUST power this pedal with a FRESH 9V battery. And remember, batteries don't last forever. As the battery reaches the end of its useful life, you will begin to hear unpleasant distortions. That's the time to put in a new battery, or switch to a 9V adapter.Beware, though, that sound may be degraded if you power the pedal with a garden variety 9V adapter. I tried a random adapter that was lying around, and I got the same gravely sound as I did from a dying battery. My theory is that cheaper adapters may have significant amounts of AC coming through on top of the DC, and that AC can leak into the signal processing circuitry and affect the sound. Some AC on the DC is okay if you are a powering a lamp, but not if you want unadulterated sound coming from your guitar. So use only a high quality adapter. I use the Visual Sound One Spot Adapter, available here on Amazon. I can't detect any of the distortion I heard when using a dying battery or cheap adapter. Yes, the One Spot is more expensive than other adapters, but it's designed specifically to power effects pedals. While you're ordering the One Spot Adapter, get a Visual Sound One Spot Multi-Plug Cable so the adapter can power multiple effects pedals.There's another reason not to use batteries. You must remove the pedal from the base to get to the battery compartment. The pedal is very difficult to remove and replace. The pedal pivots on two spring-loaded pins that are an exact fit into the holes in the pedal. Removing the pedal is awkward, at best. When replacing the pedal, it's difficult to get the pins lined up with the holes. If I were regularly using batteries, I would chamfer the inside corners of the holes, or carefully drill out the holes to make them a few thousandths larger.One surprise was the battery connector. It's a hefty plastic unit, unlike the cheesy 9V connectors found on most products—you know, the kind that are wrapped in vinyl and feel like they will break when you are trying to pry them off the battery. Frankly, this is the first product I've encountered with a high quality 9V battery connector.

Wasn't sure if I really needed this pedal but man in my glad I got it I can't pinpoint exactly what it's doing but it makes everything sound so much crisper I played generally very heavy very aggressive stuff and I had no idea that this pedal can make that much of a difference. Highly recommended.

After purchasing and returning the heavy metal distortion pedal from Behringer I did not have a lot of faith in this product but I was very impressed after I hooked it up and listened.I have a lot of noise from my Fender Maverick amp with my Epiphone SG when I had my gain up but that’s what I like so I tried the distortion pedal first to see if it was cleaner because I was told that may help but it was worse and didn’t sound as good as my amp by itself and I returned it. I then was told about a noise reduction pedal or noise gate pedal and I almost pulled the trigger on a Boss pedal because I was more confident with it but I decided to try the Behringer Noise Reducer because of the price and I knew I could send it back quickly if I didn’t like it and I am keeping it.I hooked it up and it makes all the difference in the world even with gain all the way up. I turned it off and I could hear the feedback and noise and was checking the distortion and it didn’t change it at all but did get rid of the frustrating noise that is a pain when playing rock.I am sure this isn’t for everyone but my problems went away and for a fraction of the cost of the other pedals. It’s worth a chance.

I should have bought one of these the day they came out if you play single coils, do this.

Full disclosure: This is my first Compressor Pedal. I purchased this, the Behringer Noise Reducer and the Tube Overdrive to experiment with a tighter tone in front of the amp and this seems to be the classic combination of pedals. I chose this brand because of the price.I gave this pedal 3 stars because, while I am still learning how to use it, I am having difficulty getting actual use out of this pedal. When running with a Compressor and Tube Overdrive before this pedal only using the 'In' and 'Out', I can't get this pedal to filter the noise produced by the other pedals. The 'Threshold' knob turned to 12 works to clean up the idle sound of the amp, but doesn't reduce much while playing. For instance, after just stopping playing on a distorted channel, I get incredible feedback from the other pedals. This pedal fades out that noise after a second of feedback blare. The 'Decay' knob seems to only adjust how long that fade out takes.When using the loop feature, I do get better results, but not by much. I have tried, as it has been suggested to run this in front of those previously mentioned effects, but I still get the same results. All I wanted was a pedal that clears up the tone and sucks out hiss and feedback-producing elements. Apparently this is not the pedal for me.I am still working on it. I feel much of my trouble is due to my inexperience, so I may alter this review later. If you have any advice, I would love to hear it.
