Noise suppressor/gate

When I have (for arguments sake) my odb3 with a high gain setting there is lots of noise coming off my amp when I don't play, I know this is normal and all but what's the best way to resolve it, a noise suppressor or noise gate? And would u recommend any I could use? I don't want any tone sucking from the pedal either, tell me what you guys recommend caus I'm dieing for a solution

Cheers
 
The boss noise suppressor NS-2 is one of the best gates I've used. It uses your clean bass signal to trigger the gate so you can have the noisiest distortion pedal ever running and still achieve those tight silent stops inbetween notes or songs.

I haven't noticed any tone sucking either. The rest of my board is all true bypass.
