marrk	Re: Boss NS-2 adds harshness to tone Being "noise reduction", it must be doing stuff to your tone by it very design. My favorite pedal is the TC Electronic distortion for its built in noise gate. This thing has a variable threshold. It also trails off nicely and does nothing to your tone. If you are interested in trying it and don't have $350 to acquire one on the used market, get a schematic from Analog Man(?) and build just that part. The distortion part is not that great. The booster/gate part is perfect. Mark
