Silence Unwanted Noise!

Silence your signal chain while expanding your routing options with the Electro-Harmonix The Silencer noise gate/effects loop. This dual function pedal starts off with a versatile noise gate that you can tweak to your desired settings. Threshold, Reduction, and Release controls let you create a setting that stays out of your way and doesn't affect your sound. Use it as an inline noise gate or as a loop-specific noise gate to kill unwanted buzz and hum from unruly pedals. Sweetwater musicians don't put up with unwanted noise and neither should you. Stop hum and buzz with Electro-Harmonix The Silencer noise gate/effects loop.

Electro-Harmonix The Silencer Noise Gate/Effects Loop Pedal Features at a Glance:
  • Noise gate with built-in effects loop
  • Fine-tune the noise gate with Threshold, Reduction, and Release controls
  • Noise reduction is variable from -70dB to +4dB
  • Release time can be set between 8ms and 4 seconds
  • Use the Send output jack with the built-in loop or as a secondary output
  • Buffered output (via Send)/buffered bypass keeps your signal strong and clean

Reviews

Perfect
Exactly what I needed for the pedalboard .. highly recommend
Music background: Veteran USNavy Band performer, Dolby Post Production & information tech
Does exactly what it is supposed to do
Bought this after I put my latest Board together, Had a slight hiss with my Jazz bass and only my Jazz thru this Board. So slight that I am the only one that prob even noticed it but I knew it was there. The Silencer took care of that for me with minimal settings!
Music background: Contemporary Christian Bassist
Perfection!
Does exactly what I need. My pedal board has 12 pedals with 3 overdrives running on a cheap amazon power supply. Stacking pedals can get pretty noisy and this pedal is perfect for my needs. I can engage all my pedals including my amp's distortion channel and it sounds like a tornado coming through until engaging the Silencer. Not even a hiss is coming through now unless I want it to. I am running wah, acoustic simulator, compression, blues driver, ds1 distortion, metal zone, into Silencer input. Silencer send to amp input. Amp effects send to Silencer return. Silencer Send to phaser,tremolo,delay,looper,killswitch to amp return. I spent a lot of time figuring out the right way to use the Silencer in my configuration and it works. (Probably putting the metal zone back in the effects loop lol)
Music background: Drummer learning guitar
No more noise
Worked perfect no more noise

Excellent Product, it really turns down the unwanted noise from My different Amp setups I have not experienced any issues using it. I highly recommend this device for anyone dealing with noise from there Tube Amp.
