Noise gate pedal to pair with a Bass Big Muff?

[Rusco]

Hi,

 

I'm looking to add a noise gate to 1) cut hmm and noise at some venues, and 2) pair with my Bass Big Muff for a synth sound.

 

I don't necessarily need anything too sophisticated, just to tick those two boxes really.

 

I've been looking at the EHX Silencer, TC Sentry and Pigtronix Gatekeeper - assuming they'll all cut noise but has anyone paired any off them with a BBM and had success or even it's not worked well?

 

Cheers!

I haven't tried any one the ones you mention, but I'm selling a Boss NS-2 for £35 if that's any use?

I use a isp decimator 2 to keep unwanted noise under control, especially when using the hot channel on my tube preamp (Verellen meatsmoke).

Works fantastic, always on, run it at about 1 o'clock. Not the cheapest.

NS-2 was my gate of choice, and I ran a lot of gain. The separate input for your instrument, while keeping the gain pedals in the loop is a game changer.

@Rusco There’s a gate on the deluxe bass Big Muff. Works a treat for me.
