Ok, the Donner Noise Gate is legit!

[romanianreaper]

I have a Revv G8 Noise Gate on my pedalboard and was reading reviews about the Donner Noise Gate and figured I'd give it a whirl. I knew regardless, I could have a second Noise Gate for my man cave pedalboard that stays at home.

So far I'm impressed! For less than $40, I got a smaller footprint Noise Gate with included stickers and actually works great. I am.using it after my boost pedals so obviously mileage will vary depending on what you plan on using it for. I'm definitely going to put this on my gig board and free up space. The hard and soft settings work too. I barely had to have it up with and tamed the Noise. Still going to mess around more with it but so far it kicks ass!

I have a Mooer Graphic G 5-band eq and Noise Killer gate, inexpensive, small and both work great. Had them for a few years now I think. I have better EQs, and don't need a noise gate much these days as I don't use high gain often.

Way cool! I have a Revv G8 and love it, but I needed a simple gate at home,
so I bought the Donner, and I'm damned Impressed.
Nice gate for such a low price

I wonder what it is based on.

I'm not sure dude but I've had a lot of noise gates over the years and like FLUXX said, damn impressed.

I ordered a Peterson mini tuner as well. Free up space on my board.

I have had the Rowin version for 4+ years now and it works great..I don't even mess with the switch.

MWK ball gag knocked my trusty NS2 off the board

The only problem with the Donner is the foam on the back. Not sure I can attach velcro.

I had two of their Soph Gate pedals. I thought they were better than my GupTech Guul for everything but getting super tight metal sounds. I very often struggle with the Guul to get it to sound right on lower to mid gain sounds. It's fine if I can tweak it between parts, but if I want to go from clean to crunch to high gain, it's not happening.

Are you using the "key" input ? I had a similar issue until I used the input on the pedal.

I have one. Think it’s supposed to be an ISP Decimater clone. It’s a good gate, but I prefer my Zuul

Yes, I have it hooked up with the key. The problem is that I use a compressor for cleans and low gain. If I put it before, the gate cuts too early and kills sustain. If I put it after, I have to set the knob lower, which isn't quick enough when I kick in lots of gain.

Ahh ok.

Unsubscribed.

You probably didn't expect to see this today either, but here it is:

If I had to choose being with her and using high gain vs no high gain... Yeah I'd do it... I bet her fridge is loaded with nothing but good shit too
