a good noise gate for a strat

Re: a good noise gate for a strat

What they mean is to connect like this:

1.Guitar into Sentry Input.
2.Sentry Send into OD/Distortion pedals Input.
3.OD/Distortion pedals Output into Amp Input.
4.Amp FX Loop Send to Sentry Return
5. Sentry Out to Mod/Delay/Reverb pedals Input
6.Mod/Delay/Reverb pedals Out to Amp FX Loop Return.

Connect the cables in that pattern & you will be able to use your modulation/delay/reverb in the fx loop of your amp. The gate will stop noise from the guitar, overdrive/distortion pedal & your amp's preamp while the delay,mod,reverb wont be getting noise into them as well and wont be gated, otherwise having a gate after the delay or reverb can cut repeats abruptly at extreme settings.

I'm really intrigued by the TC Electronics Sentry myself.

you are great man!
very complicated thing that the fx loop like that

i only knew it for msodulations-reveb delay like that

iNPUT PEDAL > amp fx loop send
OUTPUT PEDAL > amp fx loop return

for the pedal in the fx loop, i need 3 mores cables

i only use my clean channel
i don't want my effects in the fx loop because it's not necessary
so, TC helped me telling me to have this pedal without my amp fx loop

so i need two more cables too

what can i say about this pedal? the software takes a lot of time
presets can be loaded
it did not work with the artist presets i don't know why

with my big muff deluxe i can have a really good noise gate
too much but really good

it's a little bit harder with the TC because the volume can be changed (low volume of the guitar)
and i don't want that
i just want a noise gate with the same volume
but it's good enough

the other noises come from my old amp
ground
and not noiseless pickups or hum of my guitar (gibson studio lol ) and a new one !

Re: a good noise gate for a strat

You only need to put the od/distortion in sentry's send/return if you are not using the amps fx loop. The guitar would plug into sentry's input & the sentry's output would then plug into mod/delay/reverb input, these then connects to amp's input.

Something like this you can use to check your home outlet wiring problems http://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-...ster-1-Clam-5-Clams-Master-GFI-3501/202867890

Find a electrician to fix such household problems though if any, AC voltage is tricky to work with.
