A noise gate pedal may not be the most exciting addition to your pedalboard, but if you've ever played with a lot of gain, you'll be all too aware of how annoying the background noise can be! Noise gates eliminate the unwanted noise generated from your amp or high gain pedals, leaving plenty of space for your heavy, palm muted riffs to shine through.

The folks at Fortin Amplification are no strangers to high gain, so its no surprise then that they know all about noise gates! Building on the success of the original Zuul, the Zuul + Noise Gate incorporates everything from it's predecessor with a host of all new features. Built in the USA, the Zuul + has quickly become the benchmark to which all other noise gates are measured.

Here's what Fortin say about the Zuul + Noise Gate

In addition to the KEY IN, ZUUL+ now has a KEY THRU jack with ground lift switch, eliminating the need to split the signal for the KEY using an external device and to tackle ground loops. In addition to the GATE Threshold control, ZUUL+ now also includes HOLD and RELEASE controls, allowing you to further tailor the your perfect gating action. Use in front of an amplifier or in a series effects loop in 2CM, 3CM or 4CM applications. Dual colour LED for visual feedback gating action: Green = Open, Red = Closed, Off = Bypass. The KEY IN is a buffered input that accepts signal from your guitar or other signal source which lets you go from clean to high gain without changing the GATE Threshold knob. This powerful feature lets you control the gate with a different signal than what flows through the IN/OUT top jacks of the ZUUL+. Finished off in a black gloss metal flake powder coated enclosure with raised white cream gloss screening.

More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Gate

A gate, or noise gate, is a dynamics tool used to reduce unwanted noise by muting the signal when it falls below a set level. When the input signal rises above the threshold, the gate opens and allows sound through; when it drops below, the signal is reduced or silenced.

Noise gates are commonly used in guitar rigs and recording setups to control hum, hiss, and feedback, especially with high-gain or distorted sounds. They help keep playing tight and clean by eliminating background noise during pauses without affecting the intended performance.

Noise

Noise is an effect category focused on controlling unwanted hum, hiss, and interference in a guitar signal. Noise gates and noise suppressors reduce background noise when you are not playing, helping keep high-gain and complex pedal setups tight, clean, and controlled without affecting the core tone.

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.
