zesneek « A Noise Gate Made in China »
Published on 02/11/14 at 02:58There is not much to say:
-1 Entree Jack
-1 Output jack
-1 Knob
-1 Switch
-1 Power (9V battery or sector)
True Bypass Joyo talking about, I would say that I'm not 100% sure. I feel that everyone balance it all sauces today. On this account there, the first of Ibanez TS9 would probably be ...
And have dismantled the corny to see how it was made in, it is not breathing robustness everything is soldered to the printed circuit. If you were planning a world tour with your hairy friends, I doubt that the small pedal takes the shock until the 3rd day.
But for home, because this is not something we have to operate all the 5s and can stay quietly in his small apartment, I would say four is enough.
UTILIZATION
Simpler you die (oh, I'm kidding, so if you do not understand, will not kill yourself, huh)
when the pedal is activated and adjusted the Threshold knob:
. If you put it at its lowest setting (far left for those who do not know), the sound coming from your speaker should in theory be the same as when you had not switched since for him the noise threshold is 0 therefore any signals that fall is a desired sound.
. If you pushed the button opposite to the maximum, then the range of the pedal noise should be much larger. So it should come out no signal (in theory) your cabinet. This is because for the pedal, it will detect any signal will mean noise.
All this is theory and they forgot about thresholds acceptances of the case and calibration, huh ... But it was to map the principle.
SOUND QUALITY
Already, it should be understood that this pedal is only useful for scratch-haired metal fan who have tons of effects and saturation maximum thrust. And when you play, you have a breath of crazy output of your speaker. It is clear that if you are playing with your acoustic songs to impress Granny when there is a family celebration, this pedal is useless.
Well, I tried the pedal with my Truckster (active pickups) and my DBZ Bolero (passive pickups). I then put the pedal after my Big Muff and especially my Blackstar HT-Metal ... I would have to think about after my EQ in the effects loop, it could change the game ... But in this configuration, the result is not conclusive and I am on my hunger.
If I push the knob until 8/10ième his race, I no difference in my sound. And if I push back, I have this noise gate which cuts its way oscilloscope (cut / stimulus sound like an oscillation frequency curve on a regular time).
But a little below the max, it works.
After I not in the habit of using cables shit and my sound is not quite filled with the breath out of my cabinet so I would have it tested on a noisy and full configuration of the noise signal Release.
After that, it still works (just the sensitivity I find quilted beetles).
OVERALL OPINION
I have since the middle of January. I played a lot with. But it is true that my current config is not nearly the effect that stuck me the most.
on the other hand, we must not lose sight of the price of the pedal (a small fifty Euros - I could even see that we could have even cheaper) and, being honest, the quality / price is not inherently evil.
At the end you see with your needs. If you have enough money to invest in an ISP Decimator and you are always on the road with your gear, forget because I'm not sure it will hold the shock (one more thing to test). But if it is for studio use and you do not want to ruin this effect, I think it's trying.
