EHX - Silencer Noise Gate
Electro-Harmonix - Silencer Noise Gate
The Electro Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate is an advanced noise gate that is great for sorting out unwanted buzzes and hum that came come from using single coil pickups or huge amounts of gain. Unlike most noise gates which have one control, the Silencer has three parameters for fine-tuning your noise suppression.
The Threshold control adjusts how much noise is required to open the gate, the Reduction knob regulates the degree to which the gated signal is reduced and is variable between -70dB and +4d, while the Release knob lets you decide how long the gate remains open after the signal drops below the Threshold. You can vary it between a natural-sounding 4 seconds and a dead-sharp 8 MILLISECONDS!!
