Dunlop MXR Noise Clamp

By sensing your guitar’s dry signal, the Noise Clamp reduces the noise level within the effect loop. At its highest settings, the Noise Clamp works more like an effect, working for syncopated rhythms, the company says.

A single Trigger knob is designed to allow you to set the volume threshold at which the gate is active, and a green LED shows whether the gate is on/off. The Noise Clamp is capable of reducing noise up to 26dB, maintaining riff definition at extreme gain levels, the company assures.

An internal switch toggles between two bypass modes: Loop Bypass or Loop On. In Loop Bypass mode, the Send/Return effects loop is bypassed when the pedal is off. In Loop On mode, the Send/Return effects loop is active while the pedal is off. This can be accessed by removing the back plate of the pedal.
