Electro-Harmonix The Silencer Noise Gate/Effects Loop

The one pedal you don't want to hear is the silencer

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.

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.

This pedal removes noise perfectly and for a great price

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 you can buy. The Boss one is nowhere near as good.

Amazing pedal eefect, sounds perfect with my Engl Powerball!

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.

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.

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. I gave it 5 starts because of great performance and effect loop possibility
