Yeah....I used NS-2 for years. You can dial it in pretty well to clean things up but you will ALWAYS lose some signal.

I took some good advise and stuck a volume pedal at the end of my chain instead. Work your signal/noise ratio and feather that VP at the end of your runs and shimmering chords and you may be able to do without that gate.

I've come to realize that a little amp hiss is not so bad in this age of digitally clean recording.
