G8 Noise Gate
Getting Started
Power only via isolated 9v center negative power supply. Set up the G8 using one
of the attached signal diagrams. Engage G8 and slowly turn up “Thresh” just to the
point at which background noise is eliminated. Set “Release” where your guitar’s
sustain feels natural. Leave “Hold” at minimum. You should have a good starting
point for your G8 settings. Refer to the rest of the manual for instructions on fine
tuning, dierent setups, & troubleshooting.
Your Signal Chain
While it is common practice to place a noise gate first in your signal chain - this may
not always yield the best results! If you are experiencing noise from pedals, such as
compressors or overdrives, you can place the G8 after those. Be sure not to place
the G8 after modulation or time based eects in order to maintain their fidelity. This
is also true in FX loops.
Send & Return With FX Loops
If your amplifier has an FX loop, you can likely remove the most noise by routing
the G8’s send & return through your amplifiers FX loop using one of the attached
signal diagrams. This is because amps themselves can also generate some noise.
As above, if you are using eects such as delay, reverb, or tremolo, make sure the
G8 is inserted prior to those.
Gating Noisy Pedals
If you have particularly noisy pedals (such as a distortion pedal), their noise may
negatively aect the response of a noise gate. If running your G8 in line after those
pedals does not feel right, you may place those noisy pedals in the G8’s send &
return using signal diagram #3. This allows the gate to “see” your guitar signal &
respond accurately while taming the noise of your pedals.
