If you've ever cranked the gain on your favourite amp or distortion pedal, you'll be familiar with the amount of hiss and noise that is present. The KMA Machines Pylon is an advanced, multi-functional and super-versatile noise gate pedal that tames unwanted noise, whilst maintaining and reinforcing your natural sound and attack.
Featuring an ultra-fast gate with a smooth trigger, the Pylon is equally suited for fast chugging palm-muted playing as well as long decaying notes. An integrated boost section and an external trigger input allows the Pylon to be switched remotely or triggered by an external source, enhancing and balancing your rig. The integrated effects loop allows you to isolate noisy pedals, which means you will hear less of the unwanted noise and more of what matters…you!

Here's what KMA Machine say about the Pylon Active Transformer Boost Noise Gate
When talking about signal gain, we all know drive circuits at full tilt can be noisy malice monsters. To help get a grip on your noise floor, PYLON’s NOISE GATE is based on a high-performance Blackmer® VCA and provides lightning-fast and precise performance. To find the right spot, simply choose between one of the two detection-range settings and dial in the THRESHOLD to taste. With either softly decaying notes using HIGH mode or a fast-closing response in LOW mode, you’re sure to be able to dial in super tight tones when you need it, but without interfering with your sonic signature. Fast palm-mutes? No problem. Decaying notes? Dead simple to accomplish and just so you know when it is operating, the white status LED will also turn blue as soon as the gate starts to act.
Providing up to 37 dB of gain, the integrated BOOST circuit can really help to fine tune your tone, but it can also serve as an attenuator too. Its CUT control will tighten up your low end and is selectable between 65-730 Hz to ensure a mid-focussed and cutting

Boost
A boost pedal is used to increase the overall volume or gain of an instrument’s signal, typically without adding distortion or altering the tone drastically. It’s commonly used to push the amp into overdrive, making solos stand out or increasing the power of the signal for a more pronounced sound. Boost pedals can also be used to emphasise specific frequencies, helping the instrument cut through the mix during performances.
There are different types of boost pedals, such as clean boost and colored boost. Clean boost preserves the natural tone of the instrument while increasing the volume, whereas colored boost can alter the sound slightly, adding warmth, presence, or a subtle tonal shift. Popular boost pedals include models from Xotic, Electro-Harmonix, and TC Electronic, each offering different features like EQ controls, low noise, and transparency, allowing players to tailor their boost to fit their unique playing style.

Noise Gate
Noise gates, available on justpedals.co.uk, are pedals designed to reduce or eliminate unwanted background noise in a musician’s signal chain. They work by setting a threshold level so that only sounds above that level pass through, while softer, unwanted noises—like hum, hiss, or amp buzz—are suppressed or “gated” out. This is particularly useful in live performance or recording settings, where background noise can distract from the clarity and precision of a musician’s tone. Noise gates can create a cleaner, more polished sound, especially when used with high-gain setups or multiple pedals that may introduce noise.
These pedals typically offer adjustable controls for threshold, decay, and sometimes attack, allowing musicians to fine-tune the noise gate’s response for their specific setup and style. By setting the right threshold, musicians can preserve the dynamics of their playing while effectively managing noise. The noise gates on justpedals.co.uk cater to various needs, from straightforward, easy-to-use models to more advanced options with nuanced control settings. For guitarists and other musicians seeking a cleaner, more professional sound, noise gates provide a valuable solution to manage unwanted audio interference in their signal path.
Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
