Lets Talk Gates

I've been looking for the same thing. The John Davis Orbit demo vid gave me serious GAS for a tight gate to add to my favorite fuzzes, and right now I have to be content with my Blue Box and the analogue octave-up squeeze newbold was talking about.

Putting a harsh compressor before something that already has a light gate may do a bit to harsh it up, but I'll try it and report back.

What might also work is the Toadworks Enveloope. If you put it in reverse mode, don't connect the loop, and set the sensitivity and release just so you might be able to get a tight, stand-alone gate. Unfortunately I haven't tried one, so it's just a theory.

Good thing about the GT-10B is you have 2 noise gates, which both are arrangable anywhere in the chain, and from tese you can set the level sensing to be tapped at different points in the chain too (separate from the noise gate position itself).
In addition to that there are also the programmable Assigns, one of the source modes is "input level" where you can set your gate level with that and assign it to anything, like master patch level, and have it do a radical gate chop.

So effectively you can do 3 gates with the GT-10B.
