Overview
A sophisticated noise gate that can tame a single pedal or an entire effects loop! The Silencer' 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 1/4" 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.
Features
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
Equipped with a 9V battery and accepts a standard EHX 9.6DC/200 AC Adaptor (sold separately)

I'be been looking for a good noise gate for a while, but all the recommended ones were just to expensive for me to afford on a tight budget. I came across this bad boy one day and thought I'd give it a shot. I loved it within the first 15 minutes of using it. I use a lot of gain so my amp gets very noisy especially in my small room. It doesn't affect my tone whatsoever, elimates almost all feedback instantly when I'm not playing, and even makes my tapping leads and hammer on riffs sound much cleaner. If you need a noise gate pedal that's good quality and on the cheaper side I'd recommend this. Oh did I forget to mention how easy it is to use too?

This pedal wasn't very effective in my pedal board setup. I have a fairly complicated board with about 13 pedals. I used the loop for a couple of pedals isolating them from quite pedals, and ran the input signal from my rack to the input of the Silencer and out of the silencer to the front of the amp. I basically had to max the pedal out to get any relief in the hum and hiss. I am not saying this pedal doesn't work with smaller board setups or configurations, it just didn't work for me in my setup. It is also very possible no noise reduction pedal will work with my system. So, I am splitting the difference with a fair 3 stars for my review.

Comments about Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate Guitar Effects Pedal:
This is my first noise gate pedal and it is fairly easy to use once you understand what each knob really does. I use a bugera trirec infinium 100w amp head and it has a lot of gain. When you have a high gain amp cranked up you will get a loud hissing noise, which is extra noticeable when you just have your hand on the guitar and you are playing. The silencer really cleans up the sound by suppressing the hiss. I use it in the effects loop of my amp to cover the built in distortion and everything else on my pedal board. It works for me and the price is unbeatable. It gets the job done!

Comments about Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate Guitar Effects Pedal:
Cleans the 60 cycle single coil and gain noise from the signal nicely and can be dialed in so that it still lets the Dynamics through. I'm happy with it and will definitely keep it on my pedal board.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate Guitar Effects Pedal:
Does a great job of making your silence silent. Works best in 4 cable method.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate Guitar Effects Pedal:
No. Didn't do any anything as it stated. I had to return this one.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate Guitar Effects Pedal:
very transparent, works great, very affordable.
Works best when you put it at the front of the signal chain and run the rest the pedals through its loop.
That way the gate can be triggered by the naked guitar sound, so it's really responsive.
using it as a straight gate at the end of the chain doesn't work that well.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate Guitar Effects Pedal:
Love this pedal. Quick and natural response and easy to dial in the appropriate amount of noise reduction. For the price, it does not get much better for performance and versatility. FYI, the input and output jacks sit pretty low / close to the floor on my pedalboard, so I wasn't able to use a z-shaped 1/4 inch connector next to a Boss pedal, which stand pretty high, but had enough space to run with a patch cable so it's all good.
Comments about Electro-Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate Guitar Effects Pedal:
Best noise gate yet, and inexpensive. Better than Boss! and other noise gates, more control, Well worth it.

Works fine, the right price and solved my noise problem!
