This will be an incredible product, based on how effective your boast pedals are

I have something that does the opposite of your gadget. Mine adds noise. It’s my hand. Johnson noise is another story though…just saying…

There’s no boasting, @RedPlated knows what’s up. I don’t build garbage and I design amps with features absolutely no one else has ever even dreamed of.

I wonder though if you added an input next to regular which was a split signal from the guitar before pedals that the amp then used at the phase inverter if that might work even better. Such as if you had a jcm 2 holer, and just did away with connections for low input.

I look forward to these innovations being manifested into the 3rd dimension someday.

Me too. Even the iPhone clip he posted a while back sounded particularly good.I would love to play @glpg80 aldrich mod amp and see what the hubbub is about

Someday I'm going to mission impossible break into his house just to play it
Like he comes home from work and there's just a Dan Travis there, beanie and all, chugging triplets and playing harmonic minor runs

Even if you hightailed it out of there before he came home, the lingering farts would give you away

Am I reading this correctly?
Effectively, you're making it possible for "any" amp to be a whole-lot quieter.
Obviously if you could somehow "filter out" 50/60Hz hum that's something I'm guessing you'd look at, but that's not generally an amp's fault anyway, rather, it's something introduced but the "user".
I'm thinking every amp should come with this already-fitted or at least be an option provided by retailers.

Yessir you’re reading it correctly. It’s made to take the easy lifting off of gate pedals doing noise prevention duty for FOH engineers or studio work and fix the problem where it starts while allowing you to set your gates for what matters most - rhythm and solo tracking to adjust feel. You could argue my design eliminates the need for a solo gate entirely and you can drop down to just a rhythm gate and let my built in noise suppression do its thing.
Engl has been doing this for a while but it’s not implemented in the same way to my knowledge. It’s much simpler and basic I believe.
I’m taking multi sense and rack noise gate features and integrating them across the amp to let the user decide how they want noise suppressed and where in the amp as each amp is different. Sense at the input, suppress at the phase inverter, sense at the effects send, suppress at effects return, sense at effects send, suppress at line out, so on and so forth. No one else does this and it’s all how it’s wired up. Eventually this will have dip switches and you can do any combination or all.

I wouldn't put something like this online until it's out. People have no shame in stealing.

Yeah except this doesn’t exist to lift from anyone or anything. I’m not a bit concerned about describing my idea. As said prior this should be standard on high gain amps today anyway. Not a bandaid for bad amplifier design but rather various roles guitar amps are having to do compared to just 20 years ago.

Yeah, especially with high gain amps. It should definitely be standard to have some type of noise reduction in them all couldn't agree more.

Spent the last few weeks revisioning this noisegate design. It was unable to handle a simple cosinusoidal waveform and would lose track and chop off your signal just because of a shift in phase. So I scrapped that initial design and started over.
Now this version is capable of detecting complex waveforms at input levels as low as 1mV. The sensitivity will be adjustable on the board. Below is a 5KHz and 10KHz signal multiplexed into the input. The release time at the beginning to let the white noise pass unabated is only 10 microseconds and the gate time is 80 microseconds but is also adjustable to delay it further.
Now it’s ready for a breadboard test.
