Behringer NR300 Noise Reducer Reviews

Sounds good; It works.

Was curious if it really is as good as people online say it is .. bottom line - it works and does it's job. While it may seem obvious to some people - turns out it's made from PLASTIC; It feels extremely cheap *duhh..*

Disappointed

It takes too much time to react to sound going below the threshold. What am I talking about? I hit a power chord, then rapidly mute everything with both my hands, and then after half a second this noise gate starts suppressing the noise. But the threshold was set as low as possible and the decay was set to "min"!!! So, in this case, the noise gate wasn't really doing much. This is pointless. If you're OK with this noise gate having a very slow reaction, you shouldn't have any problems. However, if you want a noise gate to engage almost instantly, don't waste your money on this one and invest in something better. I guess, there can't be cheap and at the same time decent noise gates.

pointless purchase

this doesnt seem to do much and its built with very flimsy plastic.

you get what you pay or but its a false economy. i splashed out on a decimator instead,

Good noise gate on a budget

I was looking for a cheaper noise gate and found this gem. It has a plastic housing which feels kind of cheap but it's been on my pedalboard for over a year now and it works perfectly. It does exactly what it's supposed to. I run it in a loop mode with my pedals and my signal, even high gain, is quieter than ever. If you're on a budget and need a noise gate/suppresor you can't go wrong with this pedal. Just don't throw it across the room, I guess, and it won't break xD

Gets the job done

I use a very affordable / cheap Daisy Chain that created some low buzzing and this Noise Reducer got the job done .. keeping things sounding the way I want it to sound

Inexpensive. The plastic case will probably not last for heavy stage use. I bought one as some of my keyboards are pretty noisy. (Mellotron and a Soviet "string machine.") It works fine for those. It does require a pretty hot signal. With a noisy line level synthesizer (or preamp) it does the task for which it is designed.

However, it is useless with a Rhodes piano.

It does the job on an affordable way

It still may have an extremely low amount of noise on higher volumes but it else does the job pretty well, knobs could be a little better from the feeling and it's built in a plastic case, else well it's good at what it's supposed to do, even if i grab my noisy compression-sustainer-pedal, so all in all price to performance is pretty well especially considering how cheap it is

does the task great

dont let the "cheap" price fool you it works great and does exactly what is needed from a noise pedal

Bang for your buck !

A simple pedal that does exactly what you need for a very reasonable price tag

boss ns-2 on a budget!

Does what you expect it and does it great!

Working noise reducer

It works perfectly for a little money!

Awesome Value!

The Behringer NR300 Noise Reducer Effect Pedal does an excellent job of emulating the Boss NS-2 pedal. It works and sounds like you'd expect. It's a great value for money product.

Good noise gate despite the plastic case

Good noise gate despite the plastic case. I've gigged with this noise gate and it get the job done. If the plastic case should brake, I'd buy another one. No noticeable noise is added.

The boss beater

For the price i would not get the boss one and save the money for strings, picks and beers

Great efect when you havent engl with silent gate XD I needed its for bass and it works good

does it job at some point

its really good does its job , there are no extra sounds from using it but , when i use my metal muff top boost it makes a disturbing noise, if you dont have a feature like that on your distortion pedal you will be alright, i would buy again and that on its price

Low Quality build/ ok quality sound.

Effective to get rid of the buzz from most high gain pedals (and amps)

but tweaking feels little responsive.

Worth if your noise problems aren't critical.

Not of serviceable quality

I ordered this to remove un wanted noise from the signal chain of my guitar and clean up the signal. Also to remove string / fret noises between chord changes. The problem was that, on a battery, the pedal ASDDED noise to the signal, a heavy hiss and a faint whistle like radio interference. This was exaggerated by the dirty tone on the amp. On the power supply it was even worse. It did help remove the some of the hum of the single coil pickups, but there was too much noise, even when the pedal was turned OFF. It did not help with the string / fret noise. The body is very plasticky and poor quality. The way the unit opens to change the battery is a joke. You have to remove the foot stitch by means of a spring loaded plastic piston at each side which you have to somehow at the same time, and replacing it is even more difficult. I was afraid I would break it. I did not do the job, so I returned it for a refund ..... :-)

Simple affordable noise reduction pedal!

Behringer gets a bad rap from gear snobs but I have always liked their products. They perform pretty close if not exactly like the more expensive pedals out there and cost a fraction of the price.

The NR300 is a great noise reduction pedal, perfect for cutting out the 60 cycle hum to keep your rig nice and quiet. The effects loop option is a great addition to this pedal and helps cut out noise from your amp. All in all this pedal does a great job!

price/quality

it's not the best sounding noise reducer available, but for 25 bucks this is really good. perfect for live situations with noisy pedals/guitars
