The NS-1X Noise Suppressor is the latest addition to Boss’ X series of compact pedals powered by advanced Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology. The NS-1X silences noise without affecting the natural tone and playing feel of a guitar or bass. Speedy processing and versatile operation modes deliver superior performance for a range of scenarios, from gentle noise reduction for general stage and studio setups to fast gating for heavy rhythm styles and other techniques that rely on high-gain tones. The proprietary MDP approach in the NS-1X delivers quick, transparent operation in every application, eliminating the unnatural attack and decay artifacts that can be introduced with standard noise suppression systems.
Vic Firth has released its new Nate Smith Signature Series sticks. Slightly thinner than a 7A in the grip, with added length and a medium taper for a smooth response and balance, Smith’s signature sticks are great for sitting right in the pocket. Crafted with made-in-the-USA hickory, the Nate Smith Signature Series sticks offer strong composition. Their rounded barrel tips allow for articulation at any angle and let players pull serious sound out of their cymbals.
