Description

A powerful noise reducer that lets your true sound shine.

If you aren't using the HUSH, you aren't using real noise reduction for guitar. When used properly, the HUSH will wipe out hiss, unwanted feedback and pickup buzz. The HUSH pedal delivers 65dB of signal cleanup, while your music signal integrity remains unaffected. In other words, get rid of the noise without altering your tone!Guitar Player Magazine wrote that the "HUSH Pedal will work for all guitar-related noise problems: it's perfect" and "its potent noise-killing abilities will be fully appreciated."

Simply plug the HUSH in AFTER distortion boxes, wah-wahs, noisy vintage effects, or other noisy units and turn the Threshold knob until the noise goes away. It's that easy! You will not find a more effective noise reduction. Unlike noise "gates" that chop off the end of your notes, or ruin your sustain, HUSH the Pedal is actually a form of single-ended noise reduction that tracks your signal all the way and pushes the noise floor below the point where your ear can hear the noise. It does not hurt your sustain or chop off the end of your notes. Simply use the Threshold knob to smooth out your signal while wiping out noise. This is the best friend a guitar player could have!

Now hold on, partner. You must pay attention to the proper setup, with the HUSH pedal going AFTER your noisy stomp boxes. The HUSH is not designed to take the input directly from your guitar WITHOUT some processing happening between the guitar and the HUSH noise reduction. When setup correctly, with your signal going from your preamp and effects, or from your distortion and effects, into the HUSH, you WILL be amazed at how it will clean up the excess noise, including pickup buzz!

The HUSH can also be used in your amplifier's effects loop. However, if you are running multiple effects through this loop, the HUSH should always be the last dynamic device in the signal chain, but before digital delays or reverbs.The HUSH pedal incorporates the latest version of the HUSH discreet circuitry which also includes Rocktron's patented Variable Integrated Release (V.I.R.) technology. V.I.R. technology utilizes a low-noise VCA with precision detector circuits to achieve the smoothest and most transparent noise reduction possible.

Noise Gate v Noise Filter: What is the difference?

Why not a noice Gate? A gate opens and closes. A filter will actually start to filter the highs of sooner, like an automated knob and addition to the gating. So it is never simply open or closed. Ir rolls the noise off too, which is cool.

Now about the dual filters. You really never want to use this after a time based effect like delay or reverb. You might want to use it after your compressor and distortions... but what about those other pedals before your delay? You can use this at the top of your chain, set the threshold to gate based on your attack, but then use the second section of the pedal after the last in your chain before the delay, eliminating all of the noise. That is one use

Another use it one somewhere in your chain. The second can be used to turn a regular delay with not tape emulation. And it after that and you can set it so let less highs through on each repeat.

You can also use it with a stereo signal, it is 2 channels, you can figure it out.

I used to use the rack version of this. But there are 2 cautionary tales with these unit and the other brand that makes a similar product:

1.) It has circuits, It will add some level of noise to your signal. I used to use is sending drum samples to adat. Why? I was an idiot. No need to filter out noise that is either not there, or filter out noise with a higher noise level. So use this with instruments.

2.) It does not always play nice with other pedals. Some people have seen an increase of 20db of noice when the whole chain is open. usually this pedal will add less that a Db of noice. But sometimes it will not like another pedal and you will get this excess of noise. Simply isolate which pedal is fight with. Decide if you want the pedal, send it back, keep it and use it with a pedal it fights. Take a few moments and experiment. If it works for you, awesome,. If not, simply send it back.
