Mxr M135 Smart Gate noise gate-pedaal

Tame your hissing high-gain amp or silence your string of stompboxes with this ingenious pedal. If you're addicted to the indispensable juice of a high-gain amp or a string of stomp boxes, you need this pedal. Because along with your hot-wired tones, you're probably getting a generous helping of noise. Equipped with three selectable types of noise reduction—Hiss, Mid, and Full—the Smart Gate bites down on sizzle and hum but lets the smallest detail of your playing through. With its uncanny ability to sense precisely when and how fast to engage, this little genius will never get in your way, so you can wring every last bit of sustain out of that chord without being cut off.

Originally designed by Scholz Research and Development, the Smart Gate has been completely updated with a hardwire bypass, precise threshold trigger, and new cleaner circuitry. Open or closed, it adds virtually nothing to your signal. We've also squeezed this down from half space rack size to a slender stomp box, leaving plenty of room underfoot for your newly tamed effects.

Power: Single 9-volt battery or Dunlop ECB-003 AC adapter.

Controls: Footswitch toggles Effect On/Bypass (red LED indicates on). Trigger Level knob allows adjusting the threshold level of the gate. Three-position switch selects type of noise reduction: Hiss, Mid Range, or Full. Gate LED shows level of noise reduction.
