SMART
GATE
If you're addicted
to the indispensable juice of a high gain amp or
a string of stomp boxes, you need
this pedal. Because along with your hot-wired tones,
you're probably getting a generous helping of noise.
Equipped with three selectable types of noise reduction,
Hiss, Mid, and Full, the Smart Gate bites down on sizzle
and hum but lets the smallest detail of your playing
through. With its uncanny ability to sense precisely
when -and how fast -to engage, this little genius will
never get in your way, so you can wring every last
bit of sustain out of that chord without being cut
off. Originally designed by Scholz Research and Development,
the Smart Gate has been completely updated with a hardwire
bypass, precise threshold trigger, and new cleaner
circuitry. Open or closed, it adds virtually nothing
to your signal. We've also squeezed this baby down
from half space rack size to a slender stomp box, leaving
plenty of room underfoot for your newly tamed effects.
