Description
When you want to share your sound, but not the "noise".
A sophisticated noise gate that can tame a single pedal or an entire effects loop! The Silencer' three-control layout provides precise fine-tuning to fit your system, axe and playing style. Threshold adjusts how much level is required to open the noise gate and allow a signal to pass thru. Reduction regulated the degree to which the gated signal is reduced and is variable between -70dB and +4dB. Release controls how long the gate remains open after the signal drops below the Threshold. Release time is variable between 8ms and 4 seconds.
I/O includes 1/4" Input, Output, Send and Return jacks. The footswitch selects whether The Silencer is engaged or in bypass mode; buffered bypass allows the effects loop to remain in your signal path when the gate is bypassed. A built-in AC jack accepts a standard power supply like the EHX 9.6DC unit (optional) and the pedal comes with a 9V battery.
Specifications
- Three controls for precise fine-tuning
- Use it as an inline noise gate or to gate an entire effects loop
- Delivers up to -70dB of noise reduction
- Features 8ms to 4 seconds of release time
- Buffered bypass
- Compact design, rugged chassis
- Equipped with a 9V battery and accepts a standard EHX 9.6DC/200 AC Adaptor (sold separately)

Tightens tone up nicely
Without this pedal, feedback is often a big issue i have with high gain. But this gate kills that completely. Also, I find that this tightens up my generally sloppy amp, and gives my amp a little more definition with single notes and strung out chords. Amazing pedal for price.

Cuts noise as expected
Really cuts unwanted noise and usable enough for high gain application. I used the 4-cable method on this to isolate noisy pedals that I have. Had to let this go as I have already purchased the Horizon Devices Precision Drive.

EHX hits the bullseye again
The Silencer is a new offering in 2015. Its an effective and easy to use noise gate, but the extra bit of cool factor is a built in effects loop. Aside from the obvious uses for the loop, the two outputs can make for some pretty creative applications. Play around with your chain, with multiple amps. At ~$60, its an easy decision.

Best Noise Gate for good price
Best Noise gate you can buy. The Boss one is nowhere near as good.

Works best when you know how to use it
I used to use this pedal before my amp, after my treble booster and fuzz, but it used to suck my sustain and tone. Then few members of EHX forum recommended to try it in X-configuration, so I connected it that way and then re-adjusted the settings, now it works perfect.

Using it in the X configuration
My guitar goes straight to this pedal. I the use the send output to go to the rest of my pedal board, then into the amp and back out the effects loop of my amp into the return jack. From there, I connect the pedal output to my my delay and reverb before sending the signal back to my amp. This thing works great.

It's really good pedal but I dont wanna use it anymore
I used it when I was playing with SLS The Urge. The Urge has had active pickups and it was very noisy if I didnt use it.
