the idea is good but there is always background noise.

Once properly adjusted, incredible results. I can only recommend this item.

Very good noise gate, effective and respectful of the sound and sustain of your pedals and sounds. I had another gate that tended to "nibble" the sustain of my guitars, here everything is well respected except the buzz. However, you have to pay close attention to the connections because if you use this pedal like any other pedal, it will not work well. You must use the built-in loop AND the inputs and outputs for it to work properly. Brand flaw: no wiring diagram, not even online... I was inspired by Boss noise gates because this pedal works the same way. Otherwise, once properly connected, it's a joy.

Très bon noise gate.

Formidable product for pedal board enthusiasts.

Terrible, suits me very well! Behind a big "homemade" Fuzz and the "Red Mighty Distortion" (both do hiss quite a bit though) But here, really effective!
