Silence Unwanted Noise!

Silence your signal chain while expanding your routing options with the Electro-Harmonix The Silencer noise gate/effects loop. This dual function pedal starts off with a versatile noise gate that you can tweak to your desired settings. Threshold, Reduction, and Release controls let you create a setting that stays out of your way and doesn't affect your sound. Use it as an inline noise gate or as a loop-specific noise gate to kill unwanted buzz and hum from unruly pedals. Sweetwater musicians don't put up with unwanted noise and neither should you. Stop hum and buzz with Electro-Harmonix The Silencer noise gate/effects loop.

Electro-Harmonix The Silencer Noise Gate/Effects Loop Pedal Features at a Glance:
  • Noise gate with built-in effects loop
  • Fine-tune the noise gate with Threshold, Reduction, and Release controls
  • Noise reduction is variable from -70dB to +4dB
  • Release time can be set between 8ms and 4 seconds
  • Use the Send output jack with the built-in loop or as a secondary output
  • Buffered output (via Send)/buffered bypass keeps your signal strong and clean
  • Powered by a single 9-volt battery or optional AC adaptor
Clean up your signal with Electro-Harmonix's The Silencer noise gate/effects loop!

Perfect

Exactly what I needed for the pedalboard .. highly recommend

Does exactly what it is supposed to do

Bought this after I put my latest Board together, Had a slight hiss with my Jazz bass and only my Jazz thru this Board. So slight that I am the only one that prob even noticed it but I knew it was there. The Silencer took care of that for me with minimal settings!

Perfection!

Does exactly what I need. My pedal board has 12 pedals with 3 overdrives running on a cheap amazon power supply. Stacking pedals can get pretty noisy and this pedal is perfect for my needs. I can engage all my pedals including my amp's distortion channel and it sounds like a tornado coming through until engaging the Silencer. Not even a hiss is coming through now unless I want it to. I am running wah, acoustic simulator, compression, blues driver, ds1 distortion, metal zone, into Silencer input. Silencer send to amp input. Amp effects send to Silencer return. Silencer Send to phaser,tremolo,delay,looper,killswitch to amp return. I spent a lot of time figuring out the right way to use the Silencer in my configuration and it works. (Probably putting the metal zone back in the effects loop lol)

Noise gate

Music background: I have been a sound tech for 30yrs. I'm very glad to discover Sweetwater yrs ago.
Rated 5/5

Works Great right out of the box !

I watched one person on You Tube, explained exactly how to connect it through all your pedals, I did it, took less. than 5 minutes and works like it is supposed to, the only thing you will need to do is dial it in how you like it, start at 12 and work from there, all together it took from start to finish less than 30 minutes...I own many EHX pedals and this is nothing too fancy and easy to dial in and adjust, highly recommend if you want something easy to use and works to get that humm/buzz noise gone
