Noise Gates
A noise gate is used to control the volume of an audio signal. In its most simple form, a noise gate allows a signal to pass
through only when it is above a set threshold. When this happens, the gate is ‘open’. If the signal falls below the threshold no
signal is allowed to pass (or the signal is substanally aenuated) and the gate is ‘closed’. The available noise gate pedals are:
•DigiTech Auto Swell Gate
This noise gate will also let you set the threshold of the noise oor,
but instead of a strict feel of “opening and closing” the gate, you get
more of an auto volume swell eect making it a smoother transion
between the open and closed posions.
•DigiTech Silencer Noise Gate
This noise gate allows you to reduce line noise when the signal level
falls below the set threshold.
