Silencer : good gate

7 years ago

My mini-rig consists of Randall RD-1 head+1x12 cab, delay and a boost up front. Main guitar has EMG 57 in bridge. This setup has been completely silent in different rooms even though I play hi-gain stuff primarely. After we moved to a new house my music room has been getting bad EMI noise. This noise supressor makes everything noticeably more silent and adds extra tightness aswell. Controls I use: gate about 11 oclock, threshold 13 and reduction 13. I have discovered that the most effective knob is threshold. Gate affects the sound mostly full on. But then it cuts too much sound. X-pattern didnt change things much because I have no distortions in the loop. Only clean boost(bad monkey). When going for light crunch or guitar volume rolloff the SIlencer is better to be switched off because it starts to cut the weakened signal pretty badly. But this is not the pedals fault - rather something all gates do. EH power supply 9,6v works perfectly with the pedal. Good product specially for the price.
