Setting parameters
The Input Noise Gate on the II works different than on the Standard/Ultra. Adjusting Threshold won't do anything, Ratio must be 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.
Gate/Expander block
The Axe-Fx II has additional noise gate blocks: Gate/Expander (FX 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.
