Noise Gate Pedal, Noise Killer Guitar Pedal Noise Suppressor Effect 2 Modes for Electric Guitar and Bass True Bypass

Works very well Keeps things quiter

Works as it should! Excellent price also!

This works as well as any noise gate I've used, and better than some. I tested this out with my noisiest guitar with P90 pickups and it can gate anywhere from barely audible hiss to the whole instrument despite hard playing. When maxed, even really hot pickups can't punch through the gate at all. I've had noise gates that won't clamp down this hard so even when maxed you can play through them, but this takes it far enough to effectively be a full mute. It can certainly be used to lower your noise floor. It could probably be used creatively to shape your sound, but I haven't found a place where that works for me. Maybe behind a looper as a way to taper off looping in a different way. Hardware wise, it's true bypass and has a generic mini pedal shell. It has a rubber bottom with a sticker on the rubber. Rubber doesn't hold stickers well, and if you put hook tape on rubber, you get hook tape sticking to something else and the pedal dangling from the patch cords. That's bad for mini pedals that pretty much need to be stuck to a board. You can flip the bottom plate, but the rubber is too big and doesn't tuck inside, so the plate bulges slightly. I've attached a picture so you can see that the plate is "OK" but doesn't quite sit flush. You can see that the plate is inside the case walls on the ends, and bulging out in the middle. Prying off the rubber foot is a major pain unless you apply heat or the like. Of course none of that matters if you aren't using hook and loop tape to attach this to a pedal board. Would I use this at home for practice or recording? Yes. Would use it for local gigs? Sure, because if it get stolen it will hurt less than a more expensive pedal. As long as you have an available power drop, this is a cheap addition that serves a purpose. But I'm a careful person, and rarely break things, and even I would have some concerns. If I didn't want to be bothered with being careful all the time, or was doing anything more professional or critical, I would not buy this. It works fine, but it's not built for rough use. Even for "just in case" or gifting to a friend with a noisy rig, I think I'd prefer something self-powered. The reviewer who talked about the quality of the switch isn't wrong. I'll be amazed if it breaks for me, but it wouldn't last a day in some environments. Overall, I think if you are fighting noise in your signal chain and want to just clamp it down in quiet passages, or you just want to see if a noise gate improves your sound, this is a good starting point. Oh, and despite what the listing says, it is NOT a tuner. I know that's just a sloppy listing, but inaccurate listings should be called out.

This thing does exactly what you want it to. The most basic and pure noise gate. Great stuff

This doesn't work too great. i was hoping it would remove the white noise from my other pedals and it doesn't do a great job. I guess it's a decent price and you get what you pay for.

Compact pedal, needs external 9V power. Designed to remove unwanted noise / hiss from your signal path. Hard and Soft modes, which will either sharply engage the gate (Hard), which is good for heavy rhythm playing, or softly engage (Soft), which is better if you are playing leads and want to let notes ring out, etc. Threshold helps determine the level at which the gate activates. Very simple to dial in: start with it all the way left and rotate right to find the point where the gate stays open for your playing and closes when you stop. In use, first thing you notice is that activating the pedal bumps the level up slightly. Between the 2 modes, Hard seems to work better. You set the threshold and it clamps down whenever you stop. For chugging, this doesn’t job ok. The Soft mode reveals some issues with how the pedal is tracking your level / choosing when to clamp. As the signal fades from the guitar, you can hear artifacts and an almost pulsating quality to the tone. Subtle but it doesn’t sound great. I’d only use this mode loosely with a low threshold so that when I actually stop playing it cuts the baseline hiss from my amp. For an affordable pedal, it does the job ok but there are a few other pedals in this price range that I’ve tried that perform slightly better.

Total garbage kills no noise

This made things way easier than it probably should be. Very transparent, and cuts the noise exactly where you need it.
