ZVex Loop Gate

Gating very complex sounds like fuzz and delay is always a challenge. The Loop Gate provides a loop switch with a built-in perfect audio gate (high headroom, no distortion, no hiss) that lets you set up a loop of pedals you can switch in and out of your signal path at will, but you have a couple of really fun options to control that loop. Lets say you want to play a bunch of really interesting noise textures into the loop to create a giant swath of sound with echos and fuzz and perhaps a Lo-fi Loop Junky repeating some swirly, woozy phrase, and you want it to fade away perfectly when you mute the strings on your guitar. This can do that. It looks at your guitar signal to see when you want to gate. It doesnt even bother to look at the output from your loop of pedals... thats way too noisy to study. Its much better to look at the incoming guitar signal to see whats up, and thats just what the Loop Gate does.
