Panel descriptions Panel descriptions Name Function DC OUT jack When using an AC adaptor, you can connect the PCS-20A parallel DC cord (sold separately) to supply power from this unit to another 9 V effect unit. * Power can’t be supplied while you’re using battery power. * When using the PSA series and the PCS-20A, make sure that the total current draw of this unit and the other effect unit you want to supply power to does not exceed the maximum output current of the PSA series.

* The INPUT jack also serves as the power switch. The power turns on whenever a plug is inserted into the INPUT jack, and turns off when the plug is disconnected. When you aren’t using the NS-1X, disconnect the plug that’s connected to the INPUT jack.
Switching between modes Switching between modes Turn the [MODE] knob to select the mode. Mode Explanation This effect works best when you’re playing heavily distorted parts interspersed with silence, as well as during GATE breaks in the song. The effect responds quickly, and clearly demarcates the sound of your playing from the silence. REDUCTION This effect is optimum for suppressing noise, as a reduction effect that doesn’t alter the nuances of what you play.
How to operate this unit How to operate this unit Connect each of the effect units. Although you can connect this unit as the last effect unit in the signal chain, the effect works better when you connect the SEND and RETURN jacks as shown in the illustration. Set the knobs as shown in the illustration.

How to operate this unit Use the [DAMP] knob to adjust the amount of the gate and reduction effect. At maximum effect, this most clearly demarcates the sound of what you’re playing and the silence. To make the change between sound and silence smoother, turn the knob counterclockwise. If the change between sound and silence is unnatural, turn the [DECAY] knob clockwise.
Changing the batteries Changing the batteries When operating on battery power only, the CHECK indicator gets dimmer when battery power gets too low. Replace the batteries as soon as possible. * Batteries should always be installed or replaced before connecting any other devices. This way, you can prevent malfunction and damage.
