kodiakblair Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Being bored over the holidays I thought I'd try a few pedals. Ended up with a bunch of cheap pedals Mooer,Nux,Donner etc and a Rowin noise gate arrived today,£18 delivered. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Donner-Noise-Killer-Guitar-Noise-Gate-Suppressor-Reduction-Effect-Pedal-NEW/201720973285?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38661%26meid%3Df1dfddd2d61343859585751160bb138e%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D282231019088"]http://www.ebay.co.u...%3D282231019088[/url] Now I've never used a noise gate before but I'm guessing setting it anywhere between 12 and 6 clockwise shouldn't kill the sound completely. Basically anything -29dB to +10dB is silent. Is this normal or duff pedal ? Cheers KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephantgrey Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It depends on the signal going into it. It works by cutting off all sound below the threshold (a volume set by your knob). The way i set one up is to turn on all your effects before it, and set the threshold full counter clockwise. Then turn the knob slowly clockwise until just when andy buzzing/noise stops. shouldnt really be too high unless your using a particularly noisy fuzz etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 AH . All becomes clear now. It only works on the quiet stuff. Cheers for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
