A good pedal for every guitarist keeping a clean and melodious tone. Everybody wants to have this pedal because it keeps a clean.
A good pedal for every guitarist it keeps the amp clean and melodious.

a great noise gate pedal at a low price.
not much to say except its a great value and nothing else in its price range works as well.

been going strong since it was a Rockman effect before the Dunlop buy out of the Rockman and Dunlop lines.

This thing keeps my pedals & rig silent
I had to go with the MXR Noise Gate, I am a utilitarian so this thing is great with me. I always buy superior products and never buy inferior products. This is the gate I go with.

Great but died pretty fast
I really liked this pedal - it didn't exactly what I needed to. Unfortunately one day it just up and died and would cost be $75 to get repaired my MXR. I'll likely just replace it with a $50 EH Silencer.

good
good to remove noise if you stick your amp on 10

Good Effect
One of my least favorite pedal always use this in concerts.

Will definitely stop your amp whinging
Problem is as with all gates, cleans can be compromised, any dynamic volume swells can be wrecked. Just use it as minimally as possible.

Love the small footprint
I bought this because I've got a Fender Jazz Bass that hums like a madman. I've not got the chance to use it live yet, but will definitely post my opinions later on after I've worked it in. Super glad this is small enough to fit on my mini board without any real spacing issues.
