Subject:Don't waste your money... Buy a ns2
Quality: Mxr makes quality gear however every one that I've bought since about 03 seems to only last 1-3 years. However, I am in two bands that play shows quite often. This puts a lot of strain on your gear. Regardless of how well you move it and protect ir. I also play on average of 2-3 hours per day.
Reliability: like anything else mxr - 1-3 years playing out - 3-5 years at home steady use.
Overall: This thing sucks tone and most importantly it sucks your mids... Unless you play scooped mid metal through solid state equipment this thing is just horrible. Buy an ISP decimator if you play metal. Anything else just use the ns2 you will save your mids. I've been playing around 16 years now and 7.5 of those have been in bars and venues.
Playability and Feel: tone sucker...
Tone: i couldn't seem to find a happy medium with this thing. It's not like my ns2 that I just leave the same for lead and clean channels. It will eat the decay off of modulation effects unless virtually left wide open. Some might have had better results with it that I did but most won't mention exactly what kind of music they play. I play everything from yngwie, pantera, srv, clapton, trower... I'm not your typical guitar player that is in a funk.. I'm a gear hound and I know tone.
Finish: great paint - nice decals - good paperweight
Action: great if you don't mind losing your mids and having to switch wide open when using modulation effects.
Skill Level: Semi-Pro

Subject:Don't be stupid, turn it down
Overall:

QUALITY:
5 Great

FEATURES:
It reduces noise effectively and does more than I could ever need! I think. Oh and by the way, to the guy who wrote the review warning people about how bright the blue led is. I don't like you. Like all people, When I turned it on, I looked right at it (thanks to your review) and I am still seeing blue streaks. Thanks lol

EASE OF USE:
Less is more!!!!! 5

VALUE:
Totally worth it! 5

SOUND:
Ok, I read the other reviews before I bought it, If you are addicted to turning knobs then you can ruin your sound with this. Less is more. You are trying to eliminate excess noise and feedback. I have mine barely on but with the led, you can tell when it's working. It will eliminate your sound if you turn it up too much. Baby her.

Subject:Lives up to its name
Overall:

QUALITY:
Just like all MXR pedals, built like a tank!

FEATURES:
It's pretty incredible how the gate is disengaged while playing and then reengaged as soon as you stop.

EASE OF USE:
Just select the level of gate needed and dial in the trigger level.

VALUE:
Yes, totally worth the price to lose the hum of my amp and the feedback from hot pick-ups.

SOUND:
I have to use the full setting in order to cut out the feedback. Even with the trigger level turned all the way back it cuts off notes held longer than 10 seconds.
