I am really excited about what you are doing. I don't know what all the numbers or wave forms mean. But when I hear it in action, I will know.

The goal is to design a noise gate that is so transparent, you don’t even know it’s there. When it comes to really high gain it gets to a point where even the best amp designs still aren’t quiet enough at band levels. Hoping to offer this in my amps at first and go from there.

This is my thoughts as well.
This sort of thing should have been standard a long, long time ago - the tech was there, just none of the big amp companies care, and the tiny ones probably didn't have the know how

I feel like once you cross the $3500 threshold for a high gain amp it has to start having studio friendly features to be warranted. MIDI, excellent transparent noise gates, IR loaders, remote footswitches, so on so forth. Not all of those have to exist but the designer has to start showing care to modern times if you’re charging modern prices. I’m hoping to check the noisegate box, footswitch, and line out box.

That's the rub isn't it?
amps (and guitars for that matter) have kept up with (or exceeded) inflation, but have none of the QC, customer service, features or convenience that would be bog standard in literally any other modern industry

Hey @glpg80, any update on this project ?

Hey thanks for the interest!
I’ve been very busy finalizing the Abaddon circuit as there’s an active wait list.
I have not forgotten about this - in fact I’m just as excited as others and plan to hop back onto this and breadboard a prototype circuit as soon as I can for a standard phase inverter circuit. I do plan to integrate this into my new phase inverter circuit as well - check out our dedicated Radiotron Amplifiers section here on the forum for further details.
Current concentration has also been placed into necessary business tooling development such as bandsaws and other investments to successfully build custom boards.
I’ve been paddling like hell and will get this done as soon as I possibly can

@Monkey Man can you please move this to my dedicated forum so I can pin it to my top forum for updates?

Curious about it, I did try many gates and I'm still trying to find the one

Is this going to be an external gate like a pedal or rack unit or specifically in your amp design?

Specifically in my amp design. I have to design a different version that’s capable of supplying its own power for others to install in their own amps.
At the moment this is on hold until I finish the effects loop PCB board layout.
