Title: Reticent: THAT noise gate
Post by: selfdestroyer on March 01, 2016, 08:32:50 AM
This is a THAT2181C based noise gate that shall not be named. I have had this PCB kicking around for some time and  finally got some artwork I liked for the box.

I did the reverse etch and stuck a giant knob that I had in my stash. I really fell in love with this build and I am reworking my board a bit to get it in there after all my dirt/stortion/fuzz.

Sorry guys, no gut shot.

This PCB was a gift and I do not have access to them or sell them in any way. Please don't ask.

Thanks everyone. I really had fun with it last night as I was able to set my Musket BMP "work a like" to 11 and get the chunk chunks out of it without the huge noise floor. I am also really impressed with the way it will take out subtle noise from your board/guitar but not destroy the decay of your signal. You can get a nice balance from your compressor and the noise gate to help with unwanted noise.

I was thinking last night about one of these with footswitchable pots so you can have one pot for really high gain/heavy gating and one pot for lower gain. The "Pot Swap" PCB would fit the bill nicely.

That art is a perfect fit!

When time comes that i need another one of these, i'll do it footswitch less with a huge knob, once set to unity it acts as a perfect buffer and when treshold is CCW it does not affect the sound at all.... ....well, from what i can hear.

Anyway, great build man! Such a usefull tool to have on a pedal board.
