5 from 5 Great noise gate

The building documents need to be better but it worked out with a little help from the forums. It’s a tight build as well and a tight fit in the enclosure. The gate is a killer. Blows all other gates out of the park. Highly recommended

5 from 5 Terriblement efficace, boîter 125B pas adapté / Very efficient, 125B box didnt fit very well

Français :
C’est sans aucun doute le kit le plus utile et dont je me sers le plus que j’ai construis jusque là.
L’entrée Key qui permet de contrôler l’ouverture de la porte du noise gate est terriblement efficace et permet d’avoir un très bon sustain même en micros simples qui génèrent beaucoup de bruit en haut gain. A noter que cela nécessite de splitter son signal et début de chaîne, il faudra donc utiliser soit un splitter (type Radial Tone City) ou une pédale qui à deux sorties (accordeur Boss ou MXR 10 band Silver mais attention aux boucles de masse) pour pouvoir venir se raccorder sur l’entrée Key. J’ai obtenu les meilleurs résultats sur le sustain en ajoutant une pédale de boost tc electronic spark (avec gain 1/3 et volume à doser en fonction des besoins) entre le splitter et l’entrée key, dans cette configuration l’efficacité du noise gate est bluffante. On a également la possibilité de rajouter un jack Passtrough optionnel qui permet de renvoyer son signal sec ailleurs (reamping ou beatscratch du digitech Sdrum par exemple). Le deuxième point fort est la transparence, je n’entends pas d’altération de mon signal (vérifié avec un switcher) ce qui est le cas sur de très nombreux noise gate, rien que pour ça le jeu en vaut la chandelle.
Le kit n’est pas difficile à souder, mais le montage final dans le boîtier 125B est un cauchemar, si la taille de la pédale n’est pas un critère important pour vous prenez sans hésiter un boîtier plus long ou beaucoup plus large. En fait le pcb tape dans le jack « key » et « passtrough », il est donc impossible de souder le potard directement sur le pcb, il faut couper les pattes et raccorder le potard avec des fils pour pouvoir glisser le pcb sous les deux jacks. Pour vous faciliter la tâche je vous conseille de coucher les condos C1 et C18 (voir également le switch SW1!) et même de leur laisser de la longueur et isoler les pattes avec la gaine thermo. Dans tout les cas faites des essais de mise en place dans le boîtier au fur et à mesure du placement des éléments avant soudage et non pas à la fin pour éviter les galères. Sinon prenez un autre boîter pour plus d’espace (type P ou type JJ?).

Pour résumer, une pédale d’excellente qualité, incontournable, mais qui nécessite un splitter et une overdrive en plus pour en tirer le meilleur ainsi que de la patience pour la mise en place dans un boîtier type 125B. Mais une fois finie c’est un régal et permet d’acquérir pour un prix modique un noise gate très onéreux. Merci Pedalpcb et Musikding.


English :
It is without a doubt the most useful kit I have built so far. The Key input, which controls the opening of the noise gate, is terribly effective and provides very good sustain even in single coils that generate a lot of noise at high gain. Note that this requires splitting its signal at start of the chain, it will therefore be necessary to use either a splitter (Radial Tone City type) or a pedal which has two outputs (Boss tuner or MXR 10 band Silver but watch out for ground loops) to be able to connect to the Key input. I got the best results on the sustain by adding a tc electronic spark boost pedal (with 1/3 gain and volume to be adjusted as needed) between the splitter and the key input. In this configuration the efficiency of the noise gate is stunning. There is also the possibility of adding an optional Passtrough jack which allows you to send your dry signal elsewhere (reamping or beatscratch from digitech Sdrum for example). The second strong point is the transparency, I do not hear any alteration of my signal (verified with a switcher) which is the case on many noise gate, just for that the game is worth the effort.
The kit is not difficult to solder, but the final mounting in the 125B housing is a nightmare, if the size of the pedal is not an important criteria for you without hesitation take a longer or much wider housing. In fact the pcb touch the jack key and passtrough, it is therefore impossible to weld the knob directly on the pcb, you have to cut the legs and connect the knob with wires to be able to slide the pcb under the two jacks . To make it easier for you, I advise you to put the condos C1 and C18 to bed (see also the SW1 switch!) And even leave them some length and isolate the legs with thermo sheath. In any case, do some testing place in the housing as the elements are placed before welding and not at the end to avoid troubles. Otherwise take another box for more space (type P or type JJ?).

To summarize, a pedal of excellent quality, essential, but which requires a splitter and an overdrive in addition to get the best, as well as patience for the installation in a case type 125B. But once finished it is a treat and allows you to acquire a very expensive noise gate for a low price. Thank you Pedalpcb and Musikding.

5 from 5 Great Noise Gate

Ive now built three of these noise gates as my guitar teacher has one and his students are starting to ask me to build one for them - couldnt get a much better recommendation!

The simplest build is the version without a side chain or pass through in a 125B enclosure - not too difficult at all.

My two tips - 1) use a breadboard if you have one to solder the smd THAT module to the header pins - it will then fit the 16 pin IC socket perfectly and 2) solder four very short wires emerging from the top of the main circuit board to connect to the daughter board which is then soldered to the footswitch

Enjoy!
