collapse expand iconDescription

The Behringer NR300 noise reducer pedal eliminates unwanted hum and noise from your single-coil pickups, while keeping your tone and dynamics intact. With this versatile pedal on your board, you can ditch the frustration of excessive hum and get back to focusing on your music.

Eliminate Hum With Intuitive Controls

In Reduction mode, the NR300's dedicated Threshold and Decay knobs give you precise control over noise reduction. Find the sweet spot that removes noise and hum without compromising your tone. The Threshold sets the volume level at which reduction kicks in, while the Decay determines how quickly reduction fades once your playing drops below the threshold. Whether you want transparent hum removal or more dramatic gating effects, the NR300 puts you in command.

Silence Your Instrument Completely With Mute Mode

For moments of complete silence, engage the NR300's Mute mode. This acts as a super-quiet on/off switch for your guitar or bass, muting your signal when disengaged. The Mute mode is perfect for silent tuning, reducing stage noise during downtime or creating stuttering effects by rapidly switching it on and off.

Great Bang for Your Buck

When it came down to it, I wanted a noise reducer that fit my budget. Probably the most recommended is the Boss NS-2, which based on many a review, is probably the best out there. Even though money isn't exactly a major issue, I still wanted an affordable noise reducer to add to my board. The NR300 is your best bet in this situation. Just looking at the controls/features, you can see quite the resemblance with the NS-2. The NS-2 has threshold and decay controls as well as a mute/reduction toggle (Sounding familiar, right?). The NR300 does a good job in meeting what I need with these features and with a comfortable price. I only have a couple complaints regarding this pedal however. First is the build/durability. It is a plastic housing, so I wouldn't recommend this for traveling musicians where gear can sometimes be mishandled. I'm not aggressive with my gear, so I feel I can rely on it when I'm casually playing or at small venues. Second is the placement of the power input. I try not to depend on batteries for my pedals so I usually daisy chain them. For this pedal, the power input is on the side next to the 1/4" input jack. My daisy chain cable has 90 degree inputs so it's not a huge issue, but I like to use couplers between pedals and it makes it difficult to connect my power supply to the pedal. Overall, I say that this a good pedal to add if you're looking for an affordable noise reducer. It may not have the pristine quality like those of top-name brands, but it will do the job for you.

Doesn't cut the sound as fast as I'd like

I bought a number of noise gates so I could compare them. I have a couple of single-coil guitars -- one with P90's -- and I need something to address the noise. I compared this pedal, an Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate, and a TC Electronic Sentry Noise Gate. TC's Sentury was the best. The big things I was hoping for were (1) quick engagement when starting to play, even subtly (as opposed to cutting off the start of the note) (2) elimination of noise in the background that would otherwise be audible while playing individual notes ("scrubbing" the signal coming through), (3) clean cut off of sound when playing stops abruptly, (4) clean cut off of sound when a note or chord fades out, and (5) not altering the guitar's original tone. So going through these, the Behringer... (1) engaged quick [PASSED] (2) did no elimination of background noise that would otherwise be audible, though, strictly speaking, noise gates don't serve this purpose [FAILED] (3) even with the Decay set to its lowest, the volume drop takes about 1/4 of a second. In my case, that means 1/4 of electronic hum follow by silence. This was a deal breaker for me. [FAILED] (4) I don't recall how clean the cut off of sound was when a note or chord faded out, because the failure of #3 was a "deal breaker." [NO RATING] (5) As far as altering the guitar's original tone, I could tell a very slight difference when playing and tapping the switch on and off. But it didn't seem like a degradation; it was just slightly different. Actually, sitting closely in front of a Marshall DSL40C combo, which has a 12" speaker, at low volume, it actually seemed like the location of the speaker moved horizontally. I don't know to explain that unless it's a phasing phenomenon. But heck if I know how that could happen! Anyway, to me, the difference was so slight, it wouldn't have been a deal breaker. [PASSED with qualification]

    It does the job for my purpose, which is to get rid of some of the annoying hum while I'm practicing and noodling around. I noticed that while this is ON, the high frequencies tends to diminish a little. So if I were an audio connoisseur, I may be bothered by that - but I'm not. The case is plastic, which may break with some medium use.

    Behringer makes a quality pedal for a good price. Look beyond the plastic case ( that is built well ) and you will find clones of some of the best pedals at a fraction of the price.
