I just want to chop the noise at source. That way it should always work consistently and can just be left on at all times.
I’ve never felt like complete silence was necessary, amp hiss generally isn’t that bad and there’s usually so much other noise going on in a band environment anyway. I just switch to a clean channel between songs.
If you have a pedal that lets you do 4cm then make sure it senses as early as possible and then put it so it cuts off after your last distortion source, but before your delay/reverbs so you don’t kill their tails.

^^^ This. ^^^
In this position in your signal chain, subtle usage does away with unwanted noise - but extreme settings can be used as an effect in itself.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
not everyone can afford nice quiet cornish pedals
and because high gain!!!!
Wah > Tuner > NS2 > delay > reverb
Comp phaser chorus and all filth is in the NS2 send/return loop
The threshold is near min and decay is well past 12 o'clock. Seems dirt in the loop lets the threshold be lower. Zero decay problems and no noise. (Switching to a Zuma also cut down on noise a good lot).
As per Gav it makes my basic sound better when it's on, maybe just the early buffer? There's an Octafuzz in the loop, was expecting that to not like being in the buffer zone but it's the same in or out of it.
Guitar wah tuner ns2 dirt in the loop
Mods in the fx loop.
Looks like I could experiment some more.

That was good, because the trigger was from the start of the signal chain, then the gate was much later: so far more accurate operation

there may be pedals that do this now, I have not looked into it
Guitar -> ns input
ns send -> any pedals in front of amp like wah, boost, od going into your amp input
Amp FX send -> ns 2 return
ns 2 output -> modulation pedals/boosts etc which would be in your amp FX loop -> amp FX return
Some pedals are just noisy, even when theyre bypassed. So instead of just suppressing and hiding the noise constantly, I put them in their own true bypass loop, so atleast when theyre off, they wont be adding anything at all to the chain.
I like a silent rig when I’m not playing. i only have a katana 50 amp but on its 2 high gain channels I have the inbuilt noise suppressor turned on.
Lets the notes decay to the point where they naturally die, then it cuts in. I think it works great, doesnt appear to kill any sustain at all.
My original use for it was because my pedalboard raised the natural noise floor of the amp when the amp was fully gained.
So the inbuilt noise gate killed not only the pedal boards hiss but the amps natural high hain hiss/noise floor.
Turns out its my boss oc-3 octave pedal, which even when bypassed adds a bit of hiss, which is only really noticeable when not playing, and when the amp is high gain.
I set my amp to high gain, no noise gate and plugged straight into it. A reasonable amount of hiss.
Plugged in through the pedalboard, a noticeable raise in hiss volume.
Bloody annoying trouble shooting that was!
It annoyed me though knowing that hiss is being added by that pedal. So I put it in its own bright onion tb loop to completely remove it from my signal chain until needed.
Now even when I plug in through my pedalboard, theres no added noise as long as the octave is in its own loop!
