some updates!
this is for the gating function of the Boss NG-100
(obviously with your gain/drive stomps) and the
significance of its placement in your chain...
(though i think this has been mentioned before pero repeat lang para astig!)_______________
Setup # 1 "for the purist..."
if you have noise-free guitar, good electronics, no scratchy pots, great cable,
great gain pedals then this will suit you:
Guitar ---> distortion pedals---> Boston NG-100---> Mod or Delays...basically the NG-100 in this setup works JUST LIKE a Volume pedal AFTER your distortion units (as opposed to Volume pedal INTO a Distortion which controls the GAIN not the VOLUME) so snap tlaga sound/noise as in, no bleed in high gain settings...
note: this is really i think how a sound engineer would put a Noise Gate in the signal chain...

Setup # 2 "Alternative Noise Gating for the extremez!"
for players who are in to the extreme drive settings, and guitars with
noisy pickups and whatnots...try this setup...
Guitar---> Boston NG-100---> your distortion pedals---> Mod/Delays...yup first in! mismo! just after ur guitar!
in this setup the NG-100 works as if it's your VOLUME Control ON YOUR Guitar. (though more faster than your pinky hehehe...automatic that is!)
note: notice when a Guitar into a HIGH GAIN Cranked AMP and turning your Volume pot to ZERO eh there would still be what i call a "BLEED", it sounds like a pink noise or something, not noticeable naman for live playing which is yun ang panalo! same with the NG-100 ung setup na to...
i reccomend this SETUP#2 for most players, ung catch lang is ung slight bleed pero i guarantee you guys, it won't be noticeable! great for start and stop riffs!
and eliminating extreme feedback sh*t!
