hey guys... I hope you could help me out with this one....

I just switched from Boss Power Supply Master Switch to a Boss Noise Suppressor...


here is my setting (in order)

my guitar to 1. jim dunlop crybaby connected to the input of 2. boss noise suppressor (send is connected to) 3. boss compressor sustainer 4.boss dual overdrive 5.boss super chorus 6.boss flanger (output loops back to the return jack of the noise suppressor) and lastly the output of my noise suppressor is connected to my 7. boss pitch shift-delay that is connected to my amp

all stomp boxes seem to work perfectly

THE PROBLEM....
my jim dunlop crybaby doesnt seem to work at this setting..NO WAH EFFECT AT ALL......


I was using the same arrangement with my Power Supply Master Switch...but the Dunlop crybaby works perfectly with it.....only the other effects produce a lot of hum.......thats why I made the big switch from PSM-5 to NS-2

I even placed the wah pedal in between the NS2 and the compressor but nothing is really working....

What do I need to do? What gadget do I need?
Do you have any suggestions with the specific arrangements of my effects?

I need your help badly!!

Hey man, posting the same thread in different forums is a sure way to get in trouble around here. I know you're new here so just be warned for the future. As for your problem


Have you tested all your boxes by themselves? Maybe your signal chain is dying somewhere along the way like christmas lights.

you might want to try a compressor between the cry baby and the noise gate or putting the CB after the gate in the chain. CBs dramatically alter signal dynamics and as this is the very thing that noise gates key off...well you can see my point !

[font=trebuchet ms]Move the noise suppressor. It should be the last thing in your signal chain before the amp input.[/font]

I think Lordathestrings has got the right idea...noise gate is last in the chain and the cb should be next. I've found that most effects have a hard time with the altered signal that a Wah produces. I run my guitar thru my wah to my noise gate to the amp. I run all my other effects thru my amps "effects loop". It makes for a few more cords than I would like to have on stage but it works.
