The Electro Harmonix Silencer Noise Gate/Effects Loop is a noise gate pedal that can be used either on a single signal or to "lock" an entire effects loop, eliminating the unwanted noise and hum caused by many pedals or high-gain amplifiers. It has three potentiometers, Threshold, Reduction and Release, which allow precise adjustment depending on each musician's system, instrument and playing. It is aimed at guitarists and bassists looking for a clean signal without interference, particularly in setups with many distortion or overdrive pedals.
Advantages
The Silencer offers noise reduction of up to -70dB with a release time adjustable from 8ms to 4 seconds, covering both soft and more abrupt closings of the signal. The buffered bypass keeps the effects loop in the signal chain even when the pedal is in bypass, without losses. Its construction is compact and durable, suitable for frequent use in live performances. It runs on the included 9V battery or on an optional EHX power supply, offering flexibility in powering.

Key Functions
Set Threshold to the point where the signal opens the gate as soon as the instrument is played, without sluggishly cutting out background noise. Use Reduction to determine how much the signal is reduced when the gate is closed. Adjust Release so the gate closes naturally, without abruptly cutting off note sustain. Connect the Send and Return sockets to the amplifier's effects loop or a pedal chain if you want to control noise from several devices at once. Use the footswitch to activate or bypass the gate according to the needs of the piece.
Frequently Asked Questions about Electro Harmonix Silencer
- How does Threshold work on Silencer?
Threshold determines the signal level required to open the noise gate and let sound through. When set correctly, the pedal cuts out noise without affecting the desired signal.
- What does buffered bypass offer?
Buffered bypass keeps the effects loop in the signal chain when Silencer is switched off, without causing signal loss.
- Can Silencer be used on an entire effects loop?
Yes, the pedal has Send and Return sockets that allow an entire effects loop to be connected, so the noise gate controls noise from several pedals at once.
- How is Silencer powered?
The pedal works with the 9V battery included in the package and also accepts an optional EHX 9.6VDC-200mA power supply.
