Apr 28, 2017 at 10:21 comment added Doktor Mayhem If it helps before the amp, then you have a normal situation: noise is from your instrument and cables. This is what a noise gate is for. If your amp is introducing hiss then it is usually a problem - I think I saw you posted on one of the tube amp questions, so you probably are aware of this already.
Apr 28, 2017 at 10:10 comment added Jamie Brace @DrMayhem that's why I originally put the gate in the FX loop, to try and reduce some of the hiss from the preamp gain. probably need to look into other solutions, but I did try putting the NS-2 before the amp and it helped a noticeable amount!

Apr 28, 2017 at 9:25 comment added Jamie Brace @LaurencePayne yeah - hiss from the amp's gain
