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
