THE SILENCER

Noise Gate/Effects Loop

Congratulations on your purchase of The Silencer, a sophisticated noise gate

with gated effects loop from Electro-Harmonix. The Silencer can be used as an

inline noise gate or it can gate an entire effects loop. Whether you play with a

single distortion pedal, or an entire board of effects, noise can be a problem.

With control over threshold, noise reduction and release time, The Silencer can

be fine tuned to fit your system, instrument and playing style to remove

unwanted noise.

- CONTROLS -

THRESHOLD Knob –Controls how much level is needed to open the noise gate

and allow your signal to pass through. At full counter-clockwise the gate remains

open and passes all signal through. As you turn THRESHOLD clockwise more

level is needed to open the gate.

To tune the THRESHOLD knob, we recommend you start with THRESHOLD set to

its minimum position, REDUCTION set to maximum, RELEASE set to minimum,

and The Silencer’s LED lit. Turn up the volume knob on your guitar but hold the

strings to stop any feedback. You should hear noise coming through your

amplifier. Turn up the THRESHOLD knob until the noise disappears, then

continue to turn it up just a little more; this setting makes for a good starting

point.

REDUCTION Knob –Controls how much the gated signal will be reduced.

Reduction is variable between -70dB at full clockwise (for maximum noise

reduction) to +4dB at full counter-clockwise (yes you can boost the noise instead

of reducing it if you like). You may find setting REDUCTION between 12 o’clock

and 3 o’clock produces a more natural gating effect than it does at maximum.

RELEASE Knob –Controls the speed of the envelope signal that closes the gate

after the input signal drops below the THRESHOLD setting. RELEASE time varies

from a quick 8ms at full counter-clockwise to a slow 4 seconds at full clockwise.

Start with a RELEASE setting of 12 o’clock for a natural sounding gate effect.

FOOTSWITCH and LED –The Footswitch selects whether The Silencer is

engaged or in buffered bypass mode. When the gate is engaged, the LED is lit.

The effects loop remains in your signal path while The Silencer is bypassed.

INPUT Jack –Plug your instrument into this ¼” jack which is the main audio

input for The Silencer. The input impedance is 2M.

OUTPUT Jack –The OUTPUT jack is The Silencer’s main audio output. The

gated signal exits through the OUTPUT jack. The output impedance is 300.

SEND Jack –Connect the SEND jack to the beginning of your effects loop. The

output impedance is 300. The SEND jack outputs a buffered version of the

signal present at the INPUT jack at all times. If you do not need to use the

Silencer’s effects loop, the SEND jack could also be used to split the input signal.

RETURN Jack –Connect the end of your effects loop to the RETURN jack. The

signal preset at the RETURN jack is gated by The Silencer. The input impedance

is 1M. If you are not using the effects loop and prefer to use The Silencer as an

inline gate, do not plug anything into the RETURN jack.

9V Power Jack –Although The Silencer accepts 9V Batteries, it can also be

powered from an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200BI power supply. Plug the output

of the AC adapter into the 9V power jack located at the top of the Silencer. The

Silencer draws 22mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. The Silencer

accepts Boss®and Ibanez®style AC Adapters.

- REMOVING BOTTOM COVER/CHANGING THE BATTERY -

To change your 9-volt battery, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom of

The Silencer. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the bottom plate

and change the battery. We recommend 9V alkaline batteries. Please do not

touch the circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you risk damaging a

component.
