9.3.4 Noise Gate
PedalPro’s optical Noise Gate is distortion-free with amazing transparency and
the option to set the amount of gating. Super-precise and unobtrusive, it inter-
venes only when you want it to and just as much, or as little, as you need it to.
One of its stand-out characteristics is that, despite the Noise Gate section
being placed at the end of the sound chain (see figures in
chapter 8
or in
section 9.3.7
), it is controlled by an envelope detector placed after the input
buffer of the PedalPro. This means it is driven only by the signal of your guitar,
not by the other effects in the chain, gating the signal at just the right mo-
ment. You can also alter the amount of attenuation you want, for a gentle
noise gate with a low-noise attenuation.

NoiseGate
– Stereo Noise Gate effect switch. Range: on (
Á
), off (
Â
)
•
To add (
Á
) or remove (
Â
) the stereo Noise Gate from your effect chain,
press the
BYPASS EFFECT 1
key [
10a
].
Sustain
– Sustain switch. Range: on (
Á
), off (
Â
)
Use the Sustain to prevent the Noise Gate from cutting the natural decay of
long notes. The Sustain switch essentially decreases the sound threshold at
which the Noise Gate intervenes. While this switch
does not directly add sustain
to your sound, it is very useful when playing sustained notes with your Noise
Gate switched on.
•
To switch the Sustain on (
Á
) or off (
Â
), press the
PARAM. SWITCH key
[

].
TIPS & TRICKS - NOISE GATE
•
One of the best ways to use the Noise Gate is to start by dialling in the
following settings:
NoiseGate
:
Á
(on);
Sustain
:
Â
(off);
NoiseLv[%]
: 050.0;
Release[%]
: 000.0
This configuration reduces the amount of noise to half its value.
Decrease the
NoiseLv[%]
till the audible noise level is acceptable or
totally inaudible.
•
To avoid the Noise Gate affecting the natural decay of your sustained
note, engage the Sustain switch in presets that you use to play solos
and licks. In this configuration, the Noise Gate is very sensitive to the
smallest signal from your pick-ups – the sound will pass through the
gate as soon as you touch the strings.
•
To lengthen the time between your last played note and the mo-
ment the Noise Gate is triggered, increase the Release value. This is
particularly useful when you are using the Noise Gate in combination
with delay and distortion. In order to hear the delay effect you need
to give the delayed sound time to pass through the Noise Gates after
you’ve played it.
NoiseLv[%]
– Noise level. Range: 0-100%
The Noise level (NoiseLv) defines the percentage of noise allowed. If NoiseLv
is set to 50.0%, the level of noise will be reduced by about 50%. As you’ll see
in practice, this feature allows you to always set your Noise Gate at the right
noise attenuation without destroying the attack of your sound.
•
To change the Noise Level threshold, press
EDIT
[
5
] and use the
arrow
keys
[
3
] to position the blinking cursor on NoiseLv[%]. Adjust the value
with the
selection dial
[
4
].
Release[%]
– Release delay.
Range: 0-100%
The Release parameter sets the amount of delay before the Noise Gate inter-
venes at the defined threshold.
•
To change the Release threshold, press
EDIT
[
5
] and use the
arrow keys
[

] to position the blinking cursor on Release[%]. Adjust the value with the
selection dial
