Ease of Use

Very easy to use. It's based on the old Boss Noise Gates of the 80's (pre-Boss "Noise Suppressor.) Only 2 knobs. Just the way it should be. Easy, breezy, beautiful.

Love it. Kills the noise from my guitar pickups on stage when i use it before the input of my amp. When i use it in the effects loop of my Laney tube amp, it quites down the hum/amp noise. It's a classic style gate suited better to rock and classic styles rather than ultra high gain death metal. The style of this gate just works better. I play Guns N Roses, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Metallica and stuff like that. This gate is great. And the price is great too. The gate isn't as razor sharp as some modern gates, but that's what i love about it. it's not clinical sounding. warm and classic.

For the price, this pedal is great. Clean, warm classic style gate at half the price of most other gates. it kills lots of extra noise that i don't need when playing live, so it accomplished it's mission. passed my test with flying colors. I will be buying more Artec pedals soon. I also have the Artec analog delay and that pedal RULES. They're sweet quality.
