Dynamic Duo
The NR300 actually functions as two pedals in one. In REDUCTION mode, you can adjust the dedicated THRESHOLD and DECAY dials to keep all your tone and dynamics intact, but effectively eliminate hum from the picture. In MUTE mode, the NR300 becomes a super-quiet on/off switch for your instrument.
Ease of Use
Operation couldn’t be easier. The NR300 features two LEDs – one to indicate when it’s activated, another to indicate when it’s suppressing noise. You can power this hum killer with a 9 V battery or our PSU-SB DC power supply (not included). And the top-quality on/off switch maintains absolutely noise-free operation.

The pedal is definitely made of lower quality materials / processes than a similar Boss pedal, but I assumed as much going into the purchase. In particular, the moving pedal part can be slightly wiggled from side-to-side (left to right) with your hand. That doesn’t happen on a Boss pedal, which feels to be made of much thicker, stronger-feeling metal. I don’t have any experience with other noise pedals in this class, so my review is solely based on this purchase, not in comparison to others.
As a mute pedal it works fine. The noise reduction part is where the 3 stars comes from. The threshold knob seems to work as I would expect, where turning it up equates to raising the volume level at which it will cut noise out. The decay knob is the goofy one, and perhaps it’s my ignorance… but my experience is that no matter what I set it to (but particularly higher levels), not only is the decay affected, but the “attack” is severely lowered in volume. For instance, from dead silence to slamming on a loud chord, the volume will start at about 1/2 of what you’d expect (or less), and slowly increase. That seems wrong to me, but like I said, maybe that’s how they are supposed to work.

After purchasing and returning the heavy metal distortion pedal from Behringer I did not have a lot of faith in this product but I was very impressed after I hooked it up and listened.
I have a lot of noise from my Fender Maverick amp with my Epiphone SG when I had my gain up but that’s what I like so I tried the distortion pedal first to see if it was cleaner because I was told that may help but it was worse and didn’t sound as good as my amp by itself and I returned it. I then was told about a noise reduction pedal or noise gate pedal and I almost pulled the trigger on a Boss pedal because I was more confident with it but I decided to try the Behringer Noise Reducer because of the price and I knew I could send it back quickly if I didn’t like it and I am keeping it.
I hooked it up and it makes all the difference in the world even with gain all the way up. I turned it off and I could hear the feedback and noise and was checking the distortion and it didn’t change it at all but did get rid of the frustrating noise that is a pain when playing rock.
I am sure this isn’t for everyone but my problems went away and for a fraction of the cost of the other pedals. It’s worth a chance.

I have a 1974 Fender Stratocaster with single coil pickups. I use a ZOOM effects generator. This device effectively suppresses the wideband noise from both. I also live close to an AM radio transmit tower and I get the station pickup on my guitar and effects box and this helps reduce that interference as well. I use the Behringer DC power supply instead of the 9V batter. Make sure to have one power outlet and a power strip to plug in all your pedals and amp so the electrical ground is common and this device will work well for the price point.
Be patient when getting your set point with the controls. It takes a bit to adjust the Threshold and Delay with the correct volume settings on the guitar and effects pedals. Once you get those volumes set this box delivers good fidelity across the audio spectrum for my Strat.

I bought this to put in front of a VOX Mini3 amp while playing a cheap 3/4 size acoustic/electric guitar live. Cuts out the noise of the cheap guitar perfectly when not playing.
I have studio-quality noise gates in my home studio and on my pedalboard for playing electric guitar live. I know what good noise gates can do. This pedal does the job for a fraction of the cost of high-end noise gates. I have become a fan of Behringer pedals and own four of them now. I have many, many other high-end pedals but my experience with Behringer is that they punch far above their weight for the price.
