Many of us do not consciously consider a noise reduction unit in out FX chain until the gain/ drive-related hums & hisses drive us nuts. The Carl Martin Noise Terminator here is a wonderful noise buster offering 2 thresholds of noise gating. The Soft mode is constantly switched on, if your gain/drive settings are rather low, this is all the control you need, the Hard option should be set to zilch. However, as oppossed to resorting to the Hard option exclusively when one adopts a high drive/ gain settings (you metal maniacs, especially), the NT lets you operate the controls in tandem. What's the benefit of this employment? If you are familiar with many noise reduction units, if the noise threshold is set high, your weaker guitar signals would be muted or prematurely silenced, which is especially true for notes emanating from the plain strings. The 2 options available in this unit means you can manipulate the threshold limits to cull both the noise from the lower & higher gain/ drive settings. Neat.
