The Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate / Effects Loop Pedal

The Electro Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate and Effects Loop pedal’s three-control layout provides precise fine-tuning to fit your system, axe and playing style. Threshold adjusts how much level is required to open the noise gate and allow a signal to pass thru. Reduction regulated the degree to which the gated signal is reduced and is variable between -70dB and 4dB. Release controls how long the gate remains open after the signal drops below the Threshold. Release time is variable between 8ms and 4 seconds. I/O includes ¼ inch Input, Output, Send and Return jacks. The footswitch selects whether The Silencer is engaged or in bypass mode; buffered bypass allows the effects loop to remain in your signal path when the gate is bypassed. A built-in AC jack accepts a standard power supply like the EHX unit (optional) and the pedal comes with a 9V battery. Some quick specs: - Three controls for precise fine-tuning - Use it as an inline noise gate or to gate an entire FX loop - Delivers up to -70dB of noise red
