Electro-Harmonix The Silencer Noise Gate / Effects Loop Pedal

Electro-Harmonix The Silencer Noise Gate / Effects Loop Pedal  A sophisticated noise gate that can tame a single pedal or an entire effects loop! The EHX Silencer’s three-control layout provides precise fine-tuning to fit your system, axe and playing style. Threshold adjusts how much level is required to open the noise gate and allow a signal to pass thru. Reduction regulated the degree to which the gated signal is reduced and is variable between -70dB and +4dB. Release controls how long the gate remains open after the signal drops below the Threshold. Release time is variable between 8ms and 4 seconds. I/O includes ¼ inch Input, Output, Send and Return jacks. The footswitch selects whether The Silencer is engaged or in bypass mode; buffered bypass allows the effects loop to remain in your signal path when the gate is bypassed. A built-in AC jack accepts a standard power supply like the EHX 9.6DC unit (optional) and the pedal comes with a 9V battery.  Highlights Three controls for precise fine-tuning Use it as an inline noise gate or to gate an entire effects loop Delivers up to -70dB of noise reduction Features 8ms to 4 seconds of release time Buffered bypass Compact design, rugged chassis 9V battery included  Specifications Pedal Type: Noise Gate/Effects Loop Inputs: 1 x 1/4" (instrument), 1 x 1/4" (return) Outputs: 1 x 1/4" (out), 1 x 1/4" (send) Bypass Switching: Buffered Power Source: 9V DC power supply required (sold separately) Batteries: 1 x 9V Power Usage: 22mA Height: 2" Width: 2.75" Depth: 4.5" Manufacturer Part Number: Silencer  Please feel free to reach out to our knowledgeable sales staff with any additional questions!
