The CARNOISETERMINATOR from Noise Terminator addresses one of the most persistent problems in guitar rigs: unwanted hum, buzz, and radio frequency interference that plague high-gain setups and long signal chains. This noise gate pedal employs a threshold-based gating circuit that clamps down on signal when playing stops, eliminating amp hiss and pedal noise between notes without affecting your tone when you're actually playing. The single-knob operation centers on a continuously variable threshold control that determines the point at which the gate opens and closes. The true bypass switching ensures zero tone colouration when the pedal is disengaged, while the LED indicator provides visual confirmation of gate status during performance. Standard 9V DC centre-negative power operation draws minimal current, making it compatible with most pedalboard power supplies. Input and output jacks use standard quarter-inch connections, and the die-cast metal enclosure withstands the rigours of gigging and studio work. The gating circuit responds quickly enough to preserve attack transients on fast passages while maintaining smooth, natural decay when threshold is properly set.
