This pedal works perfectly and does everything you can ask to keep the noise eliminated whether it be noise pedals or amps. And comes at a great price which is always nice.

I was having serious problems in our rehearsal space getting rid of that annoying buzzing. I hooked up the SILENCER through the effects loop and pretty much out of the box is worked great. Just a little adjustment on the threshold to get it to completely silence the rig when not playing and voila, silence. I've always been a huge fan of EH products and this is no different. It's a great guitarists noise gate at a reasonable price.

For under 100$ this pedal does the job. Its not that advanced but it will take away the hum sound from any pedal. I run mine through a les paul and use all kinds of pedals like big muff, od-1x, ds-1x, blues drive, etc and it covers them all

This pedal definitely quiets the signal when using lots of gain or gain from pedal stacking and has an effects loop. Meaning, you can isolate the noisy pedals in the loop or run this pedal through your amps effects loop as well. The price can not be beat for the quality of production (build like a tank), warranty services available, versatility, and quality of sound. If this pedal doesn't work for you, then your guitar and or amp is the problem.

This pedal is the the only noise gate/ noise reduction pedal I will use on my pedal board! EH is the bomb company and this pedal is 100 percent effective in getting rid of buzz , hum and crackle when you use a high gain amp and this pedal in no way shape or form effects your great tone one bit! I highly recommend this pedal!

Awesome gate pedal. I have a mxr gate and I like this one better. The added reduction pedal lets me set my gate to get better sustain from notes without cutting out too early.

Puts a noise gate on my raw signal in, and then silences the hum from my pedals in the effects loop aswell!! this makes for a really nice clean signal out... And then the icing on the cake!! When it's not engaged, the effects loop is still there, and the buffer is engaged to push it down-the-line!!!
You'll never need another noise gate unless you want one in the effects loop on your amp itself

Great noise gate if set up correctly

I found that this is a great noise gate when using the 4 cable method with the noise gate placed first in the chain. Takes a little tweaking to setup but once complete does a great job at clamping down with no noticeable tone loss or coloration. One issue I found is that you may need to tweak the settings when moving between guitars with big variations in pickup output. For the price I think it is a stellar value and I have purchased a second for my alternate pedal board.

For the most part, the Silencer does its job. I had a problem with pickup noise coming through the amp and Silencer silenced the noise. The issue I have is that you cannot set the Threshold past noon or else you will struggle to get sound out of your amp. Otherwise, the pedal does its job.

A gate is a gate, not noise eliminator

Product Review
Electro Harmonix has or had a digital noise eliminator available. This Silencer is a gate. It works. As per Bogner Tech, I go into my MXR Super Comp, then into the Silencer input. My Drive, Fuzz, excetera...pedals are in the Silencer loop. And then the Silencer out, goes to my amp input. My delay and reverb pedals are running in my effects loop of amp. This gate kills noise present, when no notes from guitar are being played. Any time you are playing, the sound input from guitar overrides the dead signal, allowing signal to circuit to your amp. It does seem to also eliminate noise as effects trails and sustained notes fade. So it is a bit more than a gate. Compressor is first in line because, Silencer is buffered, and buffered circuits will effect a compressor's function...as per Bogner info, which definitely seems to be correct. Works great.

I've tried a couple of other noise gates. But the Silencer using the loop has put a end to the noise. I have 8 drive pedals in the loop and I can stack pedals and kill the noise. I haven't noticed any transparency issue since this is a buffered pedal. I don't miss the hiss either. This is great pedal and the best bang for your buck. You can spend more but you'll get less.

I run two of these in a bi amp rig and when you dial em in just right WHOA EHX knocks it outta the park again! Doesn't cut you off like the NS2 from Boss does and has more ajustments. This thing is more durable than others like the sentry from tc my guitar players tc crapped out its digital and the EHX silencer keeps chuggin right along!

I enjoy this pedal. it cuts down on some of the noise. the pedal related stuff. most guitarists are hearing the amp noise and pedals don't cut that out, or from what I have read the stuff like the decimator may, but it has been said to mess with the tone. this seems to keep my tone intact. I have the knobs, from left to right, at like 9-10 o'clock, the middle lower knob at about 10-12 o'clock, and the right knob at about 10, that is where it stops the pedal noise. it can lend itself to a slight warbling sound like when a record is warped, kind of slightly up and down at the end of notes ringing out, I tend to like that, but it means one of the knobs is set too aggressive. worth it for the money before you think of getting the icp line, or whatever they are called. the decimator ones

Does nothing for high gain use

Product Review
Bought this in hopes of taming the noise, like everyone else. Running a compressor into a high gain distortion into the gate and to the amp. Tried straight thru, tried thru the gate, tried putting all in the FX loop, every configuration you can think of, I tried... It just doesn't do the job. Either the gate has to set so hard to stop the noise nothing goes thru no matter how hard you pick, or if you set it where you can strum and the signal goes thru so does all the noise and it won't cut it off. No way this pedal can handle being used with any high gain rock/metal.

The Electro Harmonix Silencer is a beautifully designed and very capable piece of equipment. It is wonderfully adjustable, making it capable of being very subtle and natural sounding which is exactly what a musician needs. I would strongly recommend one to anyone wanting to enhance their audiences experience of their performance.
