Noise Gate. Is it knackered ?

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.

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 ?

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.
