MXR M135 Smart Gate Noise Gate – Intelligent Noise Reduction Pedal
Tame the Noise. Preserve the Nuance.
Tame your hissing high-gain amp or silence your string of stompboxes with this ingenious pedal. The MXR Smart Gate is equipped with three selectable types of noise reduction to handle virtually any type of signal. It bites down on sizzle and hum but lets the smallest detail of your playing through. With its uncanny ability to sense precisely when—and how fast—to engage, this little genius will never get in your way, so you can wring every last bit of sustain out of that chord without being cut off.
Three Selectable Noise Reduction Modes
The Smart Gate features three selectable types of noise reduction—Hiss, Mid, and Full—to handle virtually any type of signal:
-
Hiss Mode: Targets high-frequency noise, ideal for taming the sizzle and hum of high-gain amps and distortion pedals without affecting your core tone.
-
Mid Mode: Focuses on midrange frequencies, perfect for eliminating hum and buzz from single-coil pickups or environmental interference.
-
Full Mode: Provides full-spectrum noise reduction, clamping down on all types of unwanted noise for the cleanest possible signal.
Precise Threshold Trigger
The M135 features a precise threshold trigger that allows you to dial in exactly when the gate engages. This ensures that your playing dynamics are preserved—soft passages and delicate nuances pass through untouched, while noise is silenced the moment you stop playing.
Uncanny Sensing Technology
With its uncanny ability to sense precisely when—and how fast—to engage, the Smart Gate never gets in your way. You can wring every last bit of sustain out of that chord without being cut off, making it ideal for players who rely on long, sustained notes and expressive playing.
Amazingly Clean Circuitry
The Smart Gate features amazingly clean circuitry that preserves your signal integrity. When the gate is open, your tone remains pure and uncolored, ensuring that your guitar's natural voice shines through.
Hardwire Bypass
The M135 features hardwire bypass, so when the pedal is disengaged, your signal passes through completely unaffected. Your tone remains pristine whether the gate is on or off.
