Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate/Effects Loop

A sophisticated noise gate that can tame a single pedal or an entire effects loop. The EHX Silencer's three-control layout provides precise fine-tuning to fit your sysetm, axe an playing style. Threshold adjusts how much level is required to open the noise gate and allow a signal to pass through. 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 9V battery.
