* 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." [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii-discussion/41117-funny-thing-rehersal.html#post552329 Source]

* Firmware 5 release notes: "New gate uses dynamic filtering in addition to downward expansion."
 
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_gate Wikipedia]
 
 
 
==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==
 
* [http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/30163-YT-Energyballs 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.
