Iron Curtain : Solid build and great value for the price

Was looking for a noise gate to control some of the extra noise generated from gain pedals during breaks.

This is in the re-housed Behrenger series of TC Electronic, sub-50 Euro pedals. Like other in the same price category this is really solidly built with a metal housing, large controls and sturdy switch. Also like those other pedals this is an engage on release type, not a click switch.

Two controls, threshold to set at what input level the gate is activated and a delay control to control the fade-off when the gate is activated.

Works very well, just set the threshold to when the background noise starts to kick in, dial in the delay knob to taste and that's it. A nice feature is the LED lamp dims slightly when the input signal is being passed through and brightens when the gate is active. Excellent value for the price and robust construction.
