Anyone using a noise reduction pedal?

Any reason why you're looking into a noise gate?
An acoustic pickup signal should be pretty clean with a low noise floor. |

I am not, and having used a number of acoustic pickups, DI boxes, pre-amps, etc., I have never encountered the need for a noise reduction pedal. If you are having significant signal noise, my suspicion is that there is a more fundamental issue to be resolved in the signal path.

Well, I'm using a few pedals for my guitar, (yes, it's a pedalboard for acoustic)
and when using pedals for example a compressor it raises the noise floor. I hate that hiss, and I'm using good cables, (mogami) and a insolated outputs power supply. |

I hear you, even my Taylor T5z has a little bit of hiss if you turn it way up, so if I was using a compressor as aggressively as it sounds like you are I would use a noise gate too.
I might be tempted to fiddle with the compressor settings first, so it doesn't bring the low end up as much, but if you need your compressor set that way then a noise gate sounds like what you want.

I'm using the Rocktron Micro Hush Noise Reduction pedal.
It's amazing! I'm very picky and I don't want any hiss noise on my signal path. This pedal helps a lot. I tried several gate pedals and I realize that this it's the best for acoustic. |
