NuX NRN-1 Huminator Noise Gate
Nux · pedal
The NuX NRN-1 Huminator is a budget noise gate pedal from NuX that suppresses single-coil hum, amp noise, and pedalboard interference at an accessible price point. Designed to stay out of the way of the core tone, it only engages to mute unwanted noise between notes and phrases rather than shaping or coloring the guitar signal. It suits players on a budget who want a straightforward, effective way to quiet a noisy high-gain rig without extra tonal coloration.
