The Electro-Harmonix Silencer is a versatile noise gate pedal designed to eliminate unwanted noise from your guitar signal. It can be used as an inline noise gate or to tame an entire effects loop, offering precise control over threshold, reduction, and release time. With a buffered bypass and an effects loop, the Silencer ensures your signal remains clean and noise-free. Perfect for use with high-gain pedals like a Metalzone.
Guitarists found the Electro-Harmonix Silencer to be a very good noise gate, effectively removing feedback and noise from their setups, particularly when used with high-gain pedals. Users appreciated its functionality, especially the effects loop, and considered it to be good value. Some reviewers noted that the gate is super sensitive and takes a bit of time to dial in the settings correctly.
