Electro Harmonix Silencer

I have this gate for a while now and i have to say that for me this pedal is probaply a mid range quality product..it does the job fine, but it has some problems too, let me explain.
Firstly to be very clear, if you want to make a simple noice cancelation for high gain sounds etc. it will work fine to that but, Holy crap this pedal has way to sensitive threshold and a lot of tweaking for no particular reason. I think that is reasonable to spent a little more money to buy something better than this. I'm sure that you can find noice gates that when you get your volumes down in you high gain channel would not cut your signal so aggresively like this pedal does. For me the only solution to keep having this pedal is that i will use it only for my full volume high gain sounds and i will open and close it with my boss es-8 switching gear or elso doen't worth the struggle for tap dancing and sh*t.
