I tried other popular noise gates for a 14 pedal stereo fx loops and just couldn't get it to work right, even with professional help. A pro pedalboard builder recommended the G-String and it's just amazing. I can't recommend it enough. Huge pedal board, noisy Roland JC amp (for the stereo fx returns) and the G-String keeps it dead quiet while preserving the proper playability of the guitar. I've tried the other top sellers but this is the best noise gate I've ever (not) heard. I got the mini version for my rehearsal mini-pedal rig and my bass rig. So far, I can't think of any negatives. Great product.
