More information about the noise gate
- Cliff: "I don't use the gate at all. On the Ultra I would use the gate on high gain patches but I find I don't need it now. I did some measurements and the II is at least 10 dB better SNR." Source
- Firmware 5 release notes: "New gate uses dynamic filtering in addition to downward expansion."

Settings and parameters
- The Input Noise Gate on the II works different than on the Standard/Ultra. Adjusting Threshold won't do anything if Ratio isn't adjusted as well.
CPU utilization
- The Noise Gate uses CPU cycles, so switch it off (turn Threshold to Off) if you have no need for it in a preset.
Global noise gate
- If you need a global noise gate, use the separate Gate/Expander (block) and make it a global block.
Gate/Expander block
- The Axe-Fx II has additional noise gate blocks: Gate/Expander (block).
Vol block as a noise gate
- This thread offers a different approach to keeping the noise low. It's a Vol block with the volume parameter tied to the Envelope controller. As long as you don't hit the strings, the (input) signal is off.
