Hello all,
Well I ran out and picked one up. It's the Tc electronics Sentry Noise gate. I can't believe what I'm hearing. First off my tone got brighter and louder by adding this in well ok replacing my Boss NS-2 on my pedal board. I use the Loop in the Noise gate so my OD , Distortion and Boost pedal are in the gates Loop all before that chain hits the front of my amps preamp.
WOW I can't believe it, I think well better put I know the Buffer in this pedal is a better fit for my setup. Not that there is anything wrong with the Boss NS-2 Buffer circuit but I think it might have been holding back some dynamic range and treble response. I connected the Sentry and BAM all this tone came out of know where. Even my gain channel sounds stronger. Like I'm hitting the front end harder. Think of this, you know a lot of people will use a Ibanez Tube screamer not to just get that mid range push but also to add some attack to the overall sound of your amps gain channel. Especially those Mesa Guys who do this to make their tone sharper then what comes out of the box. This Sentry Noise gate allowed my guitar with nothing else on except the Sentry gave me this PUSH or just allowed my natural PUSH of my guitars pickups to RUSH the front end.
Guys I know I sound crazy but it's what I experienced with this pedal. I can't say I was even expecting any of this as I was just interested in trying out the ability to adjust the gates frequencies to gate only those who need gating instead of like most other gate who just do full band Gating.
To gain clarity and tone was a HUGE BONUS.
I gotta say this, the Boss pedal is built like a tank, high quality works amazing and takes ALL the noise out. BUT you lose a slight bit in drive when doing so. I'm sure not everyone is going to experience this as my amp is super sensitive to anything I do to it. Anyway Man am I happy, this pedal just completely exceeded all my expectations and then some. WOW Tc great job!!!!
