Pleas Close The Gate (MXR noice gate clone)

This was, with no comparison the hardest effect to tweek to my liking. I didn't do any of the mods possible but, f irst consider what kind of input range this gadget has to handle and still close and open smoothly. From mere but a breeze from finger picking on a single coil neck PU with no effects to strumming on a high output bridge HB with distortion boxes etc. Now I am extremely satisfied with this one. I can handle a wide range of situations. From me doing some soft finger picking on my strat (max sensitivity) to the bridge HB on my LP with a Ge Fuzz a MXR Dist+ and a TS808 all engaged and on MAX (almost min sensitivity. If the pot is turned to the end an earthquake would not open it.). This setup is of cause unusable but the gate opens and closes very nicely and gates 95% of the hizz and humm. To my ears I can't find any tonal or level difference when it's engaged compared to not.  Summary; A very worth while build but not if you are a total beginner or if you lack patience. When you test/tweek it do it with the load of the guitar PU and dist boxes etc you think you will use it with. At the end of the day the most useful situation for this box is to gate hizz from heavy distortion on high volume in a live setup
