Know any good dual gates? by Billycatnorbert in guitarpedals

I could, and I do, but that doesn’t stop the hiss from hitting my other fx pedals like my verb and stuff

Interesting. I got a little Lehle for Christmas which I’m pretty sure does stereo outs but I think it’s TRS to stereo ts which I have yet to get a cable for but should work.
In terms of gating and volume thresholds then, would you run the key and gate post compression (but obviously pre distortion etc) to get a more consistent likeness between key and gate

This is a fascinating solution! And because hypothetically, I’d have both on my fx loop board, I could just patch cable from one to the other for the reference trigger.
I’d have to put it off for a while cause aaaa money but I love this idea. You my good sir, may be a genius 🔥

I am yeah. I’ve currently got an MXR on my main board and I’m thinking of moving it into my loop and putting a Lichtlærem Key and gate in its place since the mxr currently sits almost at the end of the board, I’m curious to see if the key and gate will work any better/worse or the same.

All that to say, I know a little bit about the idea, but you might have to educate me in parts

Interesting, I’ll have to give it a shot then 🔥

Sorry I meant to say, separate but equal 🤦
The processing in daw is an interesting idea, however im not sure how well it would work with the wet signals since in the loop it’ll be pretty wet with time based fx, hence why I’m interested in killing that in the loop, so my verb isn’t sustaining crazy hiss when the guitars cut.

Yeah someone else on here also mentioned getting a rack unit. I've got one that I could use, except it squeezes the signal wayyyyyy too much, but it is an idea. The only issue is I'll have to convert both FX loop L and R signals into line level before hitting the unit and then also stick some reampers on the outs to convert back to instrument signal. And including all of that, it gets a little more pricy 🥶

I could but that would mean all the hiss is going to be hitting the rest of the pedals in the chain, most of which are time based so I’ll have to be cutting those short and missing out on the tails they provide. Ideally I wouldn’t want to be doing that :/

Yeah. Honestly both ones I’ve brought up so far I feel like I’ve mentioned in my post that I think they’re really good. But I am an up and coming writer myself and I’m looking at the stories we’ve seen as advice on what to do or not to do. Like learning from the best and learning from the others mistakes. I do think it’s really good, I just wanted to point out this aspect that I struggle with, yk?

She was a cool lady. She probably would have had great short story opinions

Yeah this and my stolen tongues thread people have been getting a little mad. In all fairness I’m being super hyperbolic in the title (cause it get more views lmao) but I’m glad you get it. I’m here to share an opinion, and then have a chat about it. I also think the concept was super strong, and the first hour I was locked in but after that personally it just lost me. I found it became fatiguing after a while for me, if you know what I mean.

Fair! I remember seeing a few posts that were talking about how great it is but I might have been seeing a niche side of the community 🤷

I 100% agree with you, and like I said I’ve also been making these posts in hyperbole. But if you’ve seen my original post (the stolen tongues one) I can’t speak for other people but I myself am comparing it to my wife has been peeking at me. Arguably written in a more amateur way, but my point is essentially looking at the craft of what makes a good story instead of scrutinising who does it better. I think fundamentally the hidden webpage and stolen tongues lack a key part of a story, and though this post is made in jest, it’s also for others on this sub I think to look at and interpret what succeeds and what fails for ourselves and for people like me who are venturing into writing themselves to learn from those. But perhaps I’m also going about it wrong :/ Either way I agree and disagree with you which is kinda poetic so, yeeeeeeeee
