An electric guitar noise reduction pedal, also known as a noise suppressor, helps to cut unwanted hum from your tone.
Noise reduction pedals are commonly used when you are playing with a lot of gain with pedals, amps, or both.
They can also be useful if your signal change has extra noise.
We carry noise reduction pedals from brands such as Rocktron, MXR, and Electro-Harmonix.
