Noise Gate Pedals

A noise gate reduces or mutes the signal when it falls below a threshold, separating wanted notes from hiss, hum and high-gain noise. Threshold decides when the gate closes, while attack, release and hold control how naturally it opens and how note tails decay. Side-chain or four-cable designs can detect the clean input while silencing noise later in the gain chain.
