Creating an extreme gated Bass synth Fuzz sound Question

[monosynth]

Can you create a heavely gated (fuzzed) synth sound by putting an ordinary Noise Gate Pedal after a Bass Fuzz? I'm looking to create what is done internally in some bass effects (Copiolot Orbit,Whooly Mammoth, etc..)I don't own a noise gate(Never seemed to need one)and I'm not sure, to get the sound Im looking for,if it is even possible if the "gate" is not internal. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Most gate pedals do not have control over the attack and release. These controls are absolutely necessary to get the type of hard-chopped effect you want. Gated fuzzes do not use a noise gate to create their effect--instead it is the way the fuzz part of the circuit is designed.

So it's impossible to get that "cut off gated synth fuzz" unless the effect is built in! I kinda thought so! I appreciate your break down of the situation It definetally helped me understand the reason why. thanks

Throw the fuzz circuit way off bias, thats a common trick for gating a fuzz, because like Bongo stated, youre really not using a noisegate per se'.

3 synthy-then-silent pedals I know and use are 1. EH blogger (on drive)(I seldom use blogger alone but put the drive sound into anything else, it's synth city with punch) 2. Mastotron with pulse width past noon 3. Blowtorch with torch on. Blogger into Blowtorch at 1/2 blend and a mid-range boost was my 1st synth nirvana with a gated (silent, no noise leakage) aspect. There are more distortions that act this way. I'd 'ave gotten a Brown Dog but for the price...

lots of devi ever stuff is gated and the subdecay flying tomato can get gated with the bias down?
