Fortin Mini Zuul Noise Gate

I was looking for a noise gate to control the natural amp hum from the preamp section of a Mesa Rectifier cranked to high gain. I found it straight away with the Zuul Mini.
Straight out of the box, plugged in and it silenced the preamp noise immediately with no loss of tone or volume, with a natural sounding gate that tapers away smoothly. That was without even touching the only control knob!
The key input alongside the audio input enables this pedal to work REALLY well, I have it setup being fed from an Audio Technica wireless with two outputs, one to the pedalboard effects and the second into a tuner then into the Zuul Mini. This gives the Zuul a totally clean reference signal to optimize the gating process.
It works brilliantly, is small, light, and most importantly - looks METAL !!

I use this as a sidechain noise gate, meaning a kick-drum og hihat triggers the key input - and opens the gate for my guitar to be chopped rhythmically by the input signal. Genius effect for expanding the guitar sounds and function. Sidechaining a noise gate is a typical studio-tool.

I want to point this out because this is not an obvious feature for the ZUUL, despite Fortin amps says somewhat similar in their description of this pedal. SO this pedal is not only for Djent etc.. this is a genius piece of equipment for "modern" musicians looking for expanding what guitar can do. Or bass. Or vocal. Audio triggering audio. its beautiful
