Gate Keeper Noise Gate

Simple but effective noise gate. Sure, you could go all in on a Decimator, but what do you want it to do? Cut out the signal when it drops to a certain level. This does exactly that.

Not much else to say, so we won't.

The kit is supplied with a vertical-mount pot which has a round shaft, so you'll need a set-screw fitting knob.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and will not take a battery. Knob is not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure and vertical-mount pots. Please choose appropriate knobs.
