Need a noise gate? Not much room on your pedal board?

Well, I'll bet you can squeeze this in! It's the Joyo Ironman Series "Gate of Kahn" (http://www.joyoaudio.com/en/product/show_243.html) pedal. I ordered one off Amazon and it was delivered yesterday. Tiny, solidly built, and works just like it should. Just one control, a "Threshold" knob under the black flip-up cover--turn it up until the noise disappears but you can still hear your guitar without obvious "gating" in the signal--easy!! It doesn't have the features of a fancier noise gate, like my Boss NS-2, but it does the job--kills annoying single coil 60hz hum like a champ--and I only paid $65, delivered. True bypass, and comes with pre-cut rubber or Velcro self-adhesive pads for the bottom of the enclosure. Sweet! This one is going on my church praise band pedal board, where space is at a premium.

Nothing like a noise gate you can unknowingly inhale :)

I was using an MXR Smart Gate with the band for about a year when it just suddenly failed. I replaced it with a Boss NS-2, which does the job fine, although I did like the MXR better. I was actually thinking about adding a second gate in the effects loop; maybe I'll try the Joyo.

Thanks for the tip!
