Electro-Harmonix Silencer

Electro-Harmonix Silencer

Noise Gate & Effects Loop
A sophisticated noise gate that can tame a single pedal or an entire effects loop! The three-stage layout of the EHX Silencer allows for precise tuning to match your system, your axe, and your playing style. Threshold adjusts how much level is needed to open the noise gate and let a signal through. Reduction regulates the degree to which the gated signal is reduced and is variable between -70 dB and +4 dB. Release controls how long the gate remains open after the signal falls below the threshold. The release time is variable between 8 ms and 4 seconds. I/O includes 1/4 inch input, output, send, and return jacks. The footswitch selects whether the Silencer is activated 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.
