Electro-Harmonix The Silencer Noise Gate / Effects Loop Pedal

THE ULTIMATE SOPHISTICATED NOISE GATE AND EFFECTS LOOP CONTROLLER WITH PRECISE THRESHOLD, REDUCTION, AND RELEASE TUNING.

Original owner. Non-Smoking studio.

Pedal used for only a few hours and never set on the ground.

***Includes standard 9v Power Supply***

This pedal is Electro-Harmonix's premier noise suppression workhorse, engineered to eliminate unwanted 60-cycle hum, stage hiss, and high-gain buzz with surgical precision. It utilizes a three-control analog circuit that allows for custom gating envelopes ranging from tight, instant clamping to smooth, natural decay. Whether you need an in-line noise gate to tame noisy overdrive and fuzz pedals or a dedicated sidechain loop controller via the four-cable method to isolate an entire pedalboard front-end, this utility pedal delivers up to -70dB of noise reduction while preserving your core tone.

Features

• Integrated Dedicated Effects Loop: Features Send and Return jacks allowing you to gate noisy distortion and gain pedals directly within their own isolated loop for maximum tracking accuracy.
• Fully Variable Noise Reduction: Controls signal attenuation from -70dB (complete silence) to +4dB, allowing you to fine-tune subtle noise floor drops or total hard-gated clamp down.
• Extensive Release Time Adjustment: Variable release speed ranging from an ultra-fast 8 milliseconds to a slow 4 seconds to seamlessly match your playing envelope and maintain natural sustain.
• Buffered Signal Integrity: Employs high-quality buffered bypass and buffered Send outputs to maintain signal strength and prevent treble loss across long cable runs.
• Compact Nano Enclosure: Built into EHX’s rugged, die-cast chassis with a compact footprint designed to fit seamlessly on dense pedalboards.
