hi jerry,i use a boss ns-2 with my 5150 and have it set up like this. guitar to input on boss,fx send on boss to 5150 input,5150 send to fx return on boss,out on boss to 5150 return. basically placing the pr-eamp of the 5150 thru the fx loop on the boss pedal,this is the only way this pedal works and it does work well. the problem i have is that i have the pedal in my pedal board and have to run long cables to the amp and back etc which is a pain in the ass and must lose some signal.i could just place the pedal seperatly next to the amp but i like things nice and tidy. would it be possible to gut the pedal and some how place it in the chassis of the 5150 kinda like hardwired into the input,fx loop etc? i know id have to have some sort of power adaptor to 9v dc or a battery which id have to change alot as it would always be wired in. is there a circuit board etc available for the 5150 which is small enuff to fit in easier? cheers

Are you using the noise gate to kill the hiss of the amp or to chop your signal for sharp palm mutes? If you are only looking to kill the hiss then just use the gate in the loop and not in front of the amp. Then you can leave it back by the amp. I have a noise reduction mod that works real nice for taming the hiss quite a bit. Jerry

the noise gate stops it dead quiet when i do muted stabs etc and cuts all the hiss when playing with guitar vol rolled down etc. it works amazing set up the way i have it which bugs me because everyone just shuvs it in the fx loop or front of amp which it either doesnt work or u have to have the threshold right up which looses pick attack etc. i just wish it was all buit into the amp so if i just wanted to use the head and no pedals i cud. the nosie gate circuit you do,is it available to buy and fit myself or is it only fitted by yourself?trade secrets etc haha.
cheers pete
