The signal-pollution from the decadent, noise-producing effect pedals is not welcome behind the iron curtain!

Iron Curtain is a classic, simple no-nonsense noise gate with intuitive controls, high quality components and zero tolerance for any unwanted noise
in your signal – only the purest tone is welcome in the noise-free republic!

Key Features

  • The Fastest Noise Gate – Speedy and effective noise gate reduces unwanted noise from your guitar signal
  • Simple Controls – Easy to use 2-knob interface controls threshold and decay
  • All Anologue – All-analogue circuit for zero latency and no-noise operation
  • Pedalboard Friendly – True bypass for ultimate signal integrity
  • Durable – “Built-like-a-tank” metal chassis

High Quality Analogue Circuitry

Stray noise can come from a variety of places: vintage amplifiers; single-coil pickups; light dimmer circuits – plus some venues just have a lot of inherent noise. If your performance calls for everything from sweet and soft passages with barely audible notes to wailing like there’s no tomorrow, IRON CURTAIN NOISE GATE’s all analog circuit blocks the noise and lets your tone through in all its glory.

Specifications

  • Runs on 9 V battery or PSU-SB DC power supply (not included)

TC Electronic

In the current JustPedals catalogue, TC Electronic is represented by Delay Pedals, Reverb Pedals and Looper Pedals. Current listings include DC30 Preamp, Plethora X1 and V550 Pre-Amp. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Noise Gate Pedals

Noise gate pedals reduce hum, hiss and unwanted spill when the input falls below a chosen threshold. Threshold sets when the gate closes; attack, hold, release and range determine whether the result is transparent or abrupt. A gate before high-gain stages can control noise early, while a post-drive gate can clean the finished signal but may shorten sustain. Check whether the design offers a loop or side-chain, how it handles low notes and how much playing detail is lost at the chosen setting.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

True Bypass

True bypass removes the effect circuit from the audio path when bypassed, usually by mechanical, relay or switching circuitry. This can preserve the direct signal but does not automatically solve long-cable loading, and it may create a pop or leave no buffer for the rest of the board. Check the actual switching method, trails or spillover, input and output loading and the number of other true-bypass pedals in the chain.
