So, how does a noise gate work? Do they change the tone of a guitar much? Can you recomend a good one?

Thanks

.

A noise gate attentuates the signal of the guitar when your not playing, so the buzz/hum/wahtever isn't as evident. A suppressor takes out all of thee sound below a certain threshold. The one of my G-major is readiculously awesome, but I also have a NS-2 that gets the job done.

Thanks for the info!

So will a noise gate kill sustain? Also, what are some other good brands besides Boss?

Where would you buy one of those?

Do you want a noise gate (which cuts out the signal when it drops below a certain level) or noise reduction (which will clean up the signal)?

That's what I'm wondering. I have a C-5 that has a humming/noisy sound to it. So, I think something that would remove this sound (a 60-cycle hum also) would be ideal.

a good noise gate wont drop sustain at least not till it gets to the level of ur hum i heard bad noise gates click when sound begins and ends because its sudden and better 1s graduate and fade more
