This MODE switch allows you to chose between MUTE and REDUCTION mode. Pressing the pedal in MUTE mode results in muting the whole input signal, to reduce noises in during pauses for example. In REDUCTION mode, quiet passages (when noise or hum would get obvious to the listener) are effectively reduced. Adjustments to threshold and decay settings are necessary in this case (see below).

Use the THRESH(old) control to define a level threshold in REDUCTION mode. When the input signal falls below this value, the unit starts reducing the signal.

The DECAY control determines how fast the signal reduction is released when the input signal exceeds the threshold value again.

The MUTE/BATT LED illuminates when the effect is activated. It also serves as a battery level indicator.

The REDUCTION LED illuminates when the input level falls below the threshold and starts getting reduced.

Use the footswitch to activate/deactivate the effect.

Use this 1/4" TS IN connector to plug in the instrument cable.

The 1/4" TS OUT connector sends the signal to your amp.

Use this 1/4" TS SEND connector to connect it to the input of an external effect unit. This way you can feed in an effect signal while simultaneously eliminating noises from the unit.

The 1/4" TS RETURN connector is used to feed in the external effect signal. Use the DC IN connection to plug in a 9 V power supply (not included).

The BATTERY COMPARTMENT is located underneath the pedal cover. To install or replace the 9 V battery, press the hinges with a ballpen and remove the pedal cover. Be careful not to scratch the unit.

+The NR100 has no on/off switch. As soon as you insert the jack into the IN connector, the NR100 begins running. When not using the NR100, remove the jack from the IN connector. This extends the life of the battery.

The SERIAL NUMBER is located at the bottom.
